But it's the little round decal in the window that really sets it off.

The retro looks works well in this render. Rotiform makes the FUC model which as the name suggests was inspired by the Fuchs. Best of all, they are completely custom forged and built from scratch to your specs so that you can have 100% confidence that it will fit properly. The widths, offets, and finishes are all your choice and for under $6k.

Default Euro Warning Triangle

I purchased a Euro Warning Triangle for my 991.2 C2 MT.



The triangle folds down easily, and comes with a plastic case and two plastic mounts:



End view of the plastic mount:



In the fronk, pulling the rear carpet forward reveals a metal tab for mounting, on both left and right sides:



A test fit, the carpet still needs to be trimmed:



Looking closely at the carpet, there is a subtle formed area where trimming is needed to allow the mount to attach to the metal tab:



I am still thinking about the best way to cut the carpet. A U shaped cut might work, to allow the carpet to fold out of the way, rather than actually cutting a hole.

You (and everybody else) need a safety vest or two to go with it: http://www.occunomixoutlet.com/high-...xpandable.html It's actually law in many European countries that all vehicles carry one or two high-vis vests and it's only a matter of time before the requirement comes to the US. It could save your life.







Great two-tone breakaway and expandable.

I've been attaching the plate directly to the car. Am I missing something about plate frames - Is it a practical issue or cosmetic ?

Anyone know ?

Tank you I was worried that I was committing some heinous damage to the paint, that would only be revealed when I removed the plate.

The GT silver looks cool BTW.

Very cleaver. Nice work.

I have been going naked in one car and use the dealer bracket on others.

You should have a frame that says "Porsche" so that people know what car you are driving

That's a great idea, especially since the car is not distinctive enough.

My vorsteiner carbon pieces started coming in. Got all three: chin spoiler, lip spoiler baby duck, and rear diffuser. Still waiting on rear diffuser.

At the shop now, but I test fit the rear spoiler last night. In case anyone was wondering how it looks with the spoiler up here's a photo. Reminds me of the baby ducks singer uses, but there's is molded to the oem spoiler. I'll take more photos when I get everything back from install.

in the next few weeks I should receive the diffuser and my wheels. All cosmetic, mostly, but I've been feeling a little vain 😂
