not bad. The Turbo II wheels definitely give it an updated look. For the purists, yea, they can see all the non-matching items ( Mk1 headlights, non-OEM front lower portion, Turbo rear decklid/wing, rear bumper, side skirts ...), but in all, it's your car, and done to your taste.

IMO, it works because it's a black Pcar; are you considering tinting the windows, and maybe adding a slight tint to the front headlights?

Your car looks very sharp and updated. Really like the wheels. Also like the mesh in the front. Will hopefully keep some of the junk out. Getting ready to pull bumper on mine and clean out front. Like your LED tail lights. Did you get them on ebay and were they easy to install?

Cmanis, yes the tail lights I got on eBay, spend a little more for the good ones, just swap over the factory harness from the original tail lights and plug and play. No mods needed. And you are right, the grilles in the front will keep out the junk. They are stainless steel mesh fiberglassed to the back side of the bumper. I figure if something is going to puncture that mesh, nothing I could do.
2K3TTMIA, thanks. She is done to my tastes, as everyone should do their car to their tastes. If the "purists" don't like it...that's ok with me. Yes, I am planning to do a slight tint to the windows, but I won't be touching the headlights. But thanks for the nice comments all! Hope everyone has a safe New Year!

Nice to see another MY99, even one with so many mods. Good for you to do what you wanted to achieve with your Porsche. How's the ride on 19"?

Looks great! The only thing I would suggest is an amberectomy. The orange in the front turn signals really stands out too much.
