Default Favorite 991 Bling

So what's your favorite bling (mods done mostly for cosmetic reasons)?

Not a mod per se but a toss up between my carbon fiber illuminated door sills and my Sapphire Blue painted interior. Both bring me great pleasure to look at but are really extraneous - obviously they add nothing to the performance of the car lol. But they make me happy.

I like my color matched wheels. Also seeing the stitching on my leather dash. Not sure if it's bling...

Not sure if these are big items, but I've done a few cosmetic changes. 6000k xenon bulbs, LED side markers and an extended height armrest with topstitching from the 991.2. I have black rear emblems ready to go on, and I'm having the PSE exhaust tips powder coated black as well. That'll probably be the extent of my cosmetic changes.

My favorite OEM option (bling) just for appearance purposes, leather seatbacks and the aforementioned carbon illuminated doorsills. Favorite aftermarket bling, carbon PDK **** and manual shift boot. Future bling, HRE FF04's and pepita seat inserts if I can ever find a source for the OEM pepita fabric.

Which leads me to this question, does anybody out there have a lead on available or even any excess pepita fabric? If so, PLEASE send me a PM.

I will admit it. Yellow pccb on my chalk GTS. Multi-piece hats, filled wheel wells, look great, no dust for added bonus. Had the reds on my S, but for initial bite and the bling.....one if not the favorite bling item for me. 2nd would be the carbon mirrors and triangle with the carbon illuminated sills and interior. No performance in any of those, but some bling. I think more non Porsche people recognize all my carbon bits and don't know much about my brakes.

I was actually thinking of adding PCCB to my C2 (don't laugh) until I saw the price. (I wish it was an available option on the base model). Now I am thinking of eventually upgrading to S brakes and possibly painting the calipers black (I am over the red caliper thing).
