Default NO MORE PUMPKINS Charlie Brown!

Ok ok ok... under the pressure of my RL brethren, I've now conformed and removed all the so called "pumpkins" from my car. Now if I can just get all the gremlins to go away I'd be in Porsche paradise!

B3: WTF!? I now believe I am one of the last in the world who still have pumpkins! I am so disappointed!!

(however I must admit the smoked side markers do look good on a silver car). I'm ok with pumpkins on my Seal Gray...I know...I know..."LOSER!"

I know right? I've crossed over into the dark side where Cuda, Gonzo, 5CHN3LL, and Gnat rule. Heck, I even lined up the center wheel crests! (see pic) Ugh! hahahaha

Waddayakiddinme? Sometime in the distant future when our cars are collectors items, you'll have the "ultra rare original yellow marker lights"... That'll have to be worth at least a few grand to the right concourse geek...

Original Front OEM base bumper/trim
Hella "pumpkin" orange side marker lights

and yes, even the original CD holder

Heck, I've even got the original factory IMS in my car!

Getting close.... the one mod that will guarantee to significantly increase value of these cars is the ULTRA-RARE silver steering wheel crest.

And, indeed, I am pumpkin-free.
