new 991.2 c2 owner here, already put on clear side markers, and waiting for a sport lip, still debating between techart and h&r springs, i think im leaning towards techart because h&r drop looks a bit too slammed for the roads here

Default Red vs. Clear

I am not sure, at this point, to put the red ones on the market. I still have a nagging feeling that it will cost me points at Concours.
Has anyone out there "shown" their cars with clears? If so, has it cost you a point or two?

Am I a bit OCD with my rides? Not really...The V-Sport has not been washed since November!!!

Why would clear tail lights cost any points as they are/were a factory option?

Yeah, I know I posted the same thing in the Carrera T Pictures thread, but I think this post makes more sense on this thread so, here we go...

This week I did a few upgrades:

First, I wasn't too happy with the chromed 911T badge I had installed on the engine grille. Since I have no other chrome pieces, it looked out of place.

For that reason, I decided to paint it with a paint kit from ScratchWizard. The color match is perfect for GT Silver.

And since I was going into "paint mode", I decided to also paint the sides of my key to match my car.

I think it now looks like it came like that from the factory.

Checking the color match and the contrast against Agate Gray mirrors:




Trim installed and matching key:








And I also got to install the 70th anniversary plaque I bought from Dave @wdr911 (Thanks Dave!!!).

The plaque is very nicely made, and makes perfect sense in my T, because it is a 2018, and also because of the message...







What do you think?

Cheers!

Nice, and like to see others play around with paint...working on a few more little projects myself. And with a 3rd pedal you could not screw up no matter what you did!
