Everyone, thanks for the great feedback much appreciated. Tim I am so glad you like my car's *** now

Sorry AudiOn19s I am going to badge it with a Black Carrera badge. I wasn't going too before when I had the black bumperettes, but with the yellow bumperettes the badge will look brilliant.

Thanks bud. Still stuck on the GT Trim thing, I say do it and get it over with, or sell them. With your colour car it's not going to be as noticeable.

the black carrera badge will look great as an accent color

Looks nice Steven. I like mine unpainted because it allows me to still bump into things without having to refinish and ties black into the tinted windows nicely at the bottom with silver all around...

Same here. I think the black bumperettes make a nice contrast.

Here is an out of the box idea. Since your ride is very cool and CUSTOM.

How about a black "water-jet cut" carrera in the California script that is on your plate. Would tie everything together, and I like the script on Cali. plates - similar enough to porsche script so it wouldn't look off, but it would make some people take that extra little look. i.e. porsche nuts.

Steven, the car looks excellent!!! But then again it looked excellent before the bumperettes mod.

BTW, I love the taco wing, it looks so sweet on speed yellow cars.

TY and of course the Speed Yellow is quicker than any other colour of the same car


Thanks to all the others with feedback. I knew I would get some of you liking the black ones as I too was going back and forth on this idea because it brought the black into the car for contrast. But once I put the badge on it will tie it all back together, you'll see (although I still like the naked look, but I have too many people that do not know the body style is a Carrera, so I have to fix that issue with the badge).
