Very nice!

As you note, you clearly went the extra mile prepping and it shows in the final result.

Hahaha, not what I'm after either. I just checked that site and didn't see any porsche specific decals, but I found this on eBay

Thanks Magic and ilko!

I think I am fairly close to finishing the car to my taste, with the exception of installing a goldenrod, from FD Motorsports and a set of black rear seat backs and bottoms.

*NOTE*
I THINK PORSCHE MAY BE LEANING ON SELLERS OR MORE LIKELY EBAY, FOR THE UNAUTHORIZED SELLING OF "PORSCHE" DECALS.[/B] Both of my sources have dried up in the past month.
Here's a few shots of the aircraft paint stripper applied to the calipers. Two applications achieved the results in the second photo. I taped over the boots with painters tape to try and avoid any prolonged contact, and rinsed immediately with hot water and soap to remove any residue. The boots are all intact.

If you'd like to go with stencils instead of decals and clear, call Rennline for the stencils and a can of VHT black paint. You wont see the stencils on their website, but they have them...

Again, really great job nine9six! I hope I can achieve the same results...

Where did you get that "floor mat" cover for the rear seats? I want one!
