Default Pumpkins anyone?

I am switching back to my orange headlights so I need to put the pumpkins back in so everything matches in an orange sort of way. Anyone have pumpkins sitting around? I have no idea where mine are. I will gladly pay for a pair.

After reading countless posts about everyone getting rid of Pumpkins one second after purchase, we may now see the first signs of a market recovery forming on Pumpkins! Go long on Pumpkins!

I may put mine back in too. I keep going back and forth, but my all-grey car can use a splotch of color! Plus, why make your car LOOK like it belongs in Europe?

I left mine on when I owned the 996, I thought it looked really German-like.

I've always been amazed at the obsession over the color of the reflector on the side of the car.

I have some, but I'm keeping them. I'm convinced that they'll be valuable one day and this thread just reinforces that opinion.

Original pumpkins would look good on your #12 -- nice contrast to brighten up the color scheme a bit . . .

Wow an avalanche of interest. Pumpkins are making a comeback apparently. Whoever is serious about getting rid of theirs, pm me so we can arrange payment and shipping and all that jazz.
