Wrong shade of pink for Mary Kay. Ironically, they left the bumperettes in black.

"The exterior was painted with a subtle metallic pearl pink ..."

I don't know what's worse ... the stupid money they probably spent on that "subtle" paint job, or the relative pittance they didn't spend on a new frunk lever.

That's so wrong...I almost want to buy it just to give it a proper paint job.

Like a dirty and matted puppy at the pound.

I thnk we need more video angles on the blond demoing the cab features in the video.

Funny that the bumperettes did not get painted

1. Should've done a wrap instead.

2. Custom paint jobs(or anything custom) and -1 tire sizing(17" wheels) do not go together.

3. First I thought the body kit gaps were horrendous then seemed like they were using the black door edge guards everywhere. I don't know what's worse.

4. The rear spoiler boot lid does have some aweful panel gaps along with the bumpers.

5. Is it me or does the rear cab lid seem to sit on the rear spoiler whenever the top is lowered or raised?

6. If you're gonna get any kind of aggressive or aftermarket rear bumper, please upgrade those puny exhaust tips for crying out loud.

7. A for effort but personally not A for taste

Alright which member here has this for sale? We need Jim Crockett to chime in here.

Indeed.
Some guys gotta do extreme things to get laid by their women. I hope she was worth it, since the car is for sale...and all.

To quote a classic "It looks like a pink nightmare"

I imagine this is how that poor 996 feels
