Default Some 991 Bling....

.... its like Harley Chrome, unless you have a keen eye, you're the only one who knows its there.

I never liked the cheap, black ABS plastic grille overlays on the front of the 991, and while killing time on the Suncoast website, saw some cheap ABS plastic CHROME overlays off the 50th Anniv car. Did a look around here and see other have put them on before, so what the heck. Ridiculously easy install, they snap right in. Thought I would pop up a before and after photo, just because we all like car pictures here....

Beautiful. Good upgrade mod. I had my grilles painted a deviating color at the factory, along with a bunch of other stuff.

Great looking car!

But stop parking over bump stops. Makes me nervous.

My Porsche nose badge is in silver already...

I've been parking over that bump stop for 29 years, its in front of my business. It was hell on my lowered M3 as well as my Aston Martin Vantage, but all my Porsches have gone over it just fine! I tuck in because the people who park on the opposite side have a tendency to hit the cars on my side when they are backing out...

And I went to extreme measures to eliminate ALL chrome on the exterior of my car! Headlight washers, rear badge, and exhaust tips.

Very nice. I wish they had some that fit the 4/4S grilles.

Where can I find a silver hood crest?

Pls let me know how these are installed. I have been told to replace the front grills requires the front bumper be removed. Thanks.
