Dporto, that looks good bud. Nice job on the rust removal and repair too. Nice touch and I think the silver with the car color looks great.

I hear ya! I thought I’d get more feedback along those lines. I tend to err on the side of understated myself, but I like the way they look...

As long as you like it, thats the important part. 996s are so cheap these days i doubt it will affect resale value either, so win win for you.

Resale value? These are stickers, you can remove them at any time.
