Must show us the final work when done. So far looks like true F.I.R.E as they say in the West Indies man!

4300k if you actually want to see. 6000k if you just want your lights to look whiter or even bluish. Google the differences between 4300k and 6000k and universally the comments are you can see better with 4300k.

Yep, 4300k is the best for vision. I did 6000k because it looks cool, literally.

Yep is def for the cool factor. I've always been running 6000k bulbs. It actually looks a little 'green' sometimes (because the light is blue but when is mixed with the yellowish street lighting, it gives it a hint of green at times)

Esp when my two other vehicles are all LEDs...the 4300k look even more yellowish in comparison

I remember a thread with the summary of must have after market goodies for a 911.
Can anyone help provide it?

Many thanks.

TXC2 - You need that black plastic GTS engine grill to match the black letters.

I thought about that, but the $1,700 price is too steep for me.

I hope this makes sense.

The dealer used the template. After searching this forum and toying around with trying to do it myself, I'm not sure there is any good way to put these emblems on correctly without the template. It may be the angle of the photo, but the emblem does follow the contour of the rear bumper, if they are installed in a straight line the emblem has the appearance of a downward curve.
