Thank you! Those wheels look great, I still can't decide between those and the black ones. I feel like the cabriolet, with the black top, would do better with the black wheels.

For me it’s classic wheels and black top. Black wheels work but after having them on a grey Toyota truck I really prefer dark inside, silvery at the edge wheel. Full black wheels in any finish are too dominant. The classic wheels really do a lot for that blue and I would not worry about matching the top. Second choice is satin, they’re nice too.

So you're thinking like this?

Here's an actual image of that combo I found from carbuzz. I agree, looks good.

^ That's very crisp, I think I like that better than the all black wheels.

While I respect the desire for a lack of a model designation on the back, my personal preference is to at least keep the '911' on there, if nothing else.

You don't want the ignoramuses out there to think you're driving a Panamara or some sort of electric car or something. The 911 is an iconic brand

Luckily that's a free option:

Model Designation Changed to "911"

However, in a previous thread some years back, it seemed more common for base models to go with that then a 4S. I've been back and forth on the model designation, might just put it back all together although it feels very long and busy.


Here's how the "911" looks vs the full designation.

^ I frankly like them both. Mine has the full model designation on it (I didn't have mine custom made), but if I had a choice, just keeping '911' alone with nothing else just edges it out. It's a very classy, clean look that also preserves the brand.

That's satin? I could have sworn it was high gloss black.

And the black porsche/911 on the back of the car was from the factory like that?
