It all started with this one that has a crest on the rear engine grill but not on the back of the car - does have the PORSCHE reflector though.
The silver 997 was next and sweeter than the 914, then the wife's pink one to keep her out of my silver one, then the 928 (which is supercharged, so supersweet), then the TT widebody Cayenne, which she wanted to be the sweetest. The RUF 997 is actually the sweetest one and I keep threatening that I'm going to move all the tags around, but won't actually as the DMV I'm sure will royally mess that up.
I have a 2001 GMC Sierra C3 truck and am going to get UNSWEET for that one to round out the set.

Just realized jaguiler's comment wasn't directed to me - oops.

Those are some wide front flares. Are you going to push out the front wheels so the stance is similar to the fender to tire relationship at the rear?

I like the crest and am considering using Jim at Carrera East to do a custom one for the hood.
The factory one (will save it) kind of clashes -
The choices I am considering are
Nickle with partial Mexico Blue (top) or Nickle with 100% Mexico Blue (bottom)
I am leaning towards the 100% and was Jim's opinion also

I like adding black elements to the Meteor Grey body color, but went with a red plastidip color change for the original badging. I'm considering redoing it in black for a year to see how that goes...

Agree. But I think with regular or all red tails, no Carrera S and leaving the PORSCHE would look good.

Agree the rear lights gotta go too though, and either stock or all red tails would be better.

I think black Carrera S lettering would go better with your blackout look. The bumperettes...are they a darker shade of grey than the rest of the car? They stand out.

My car was originally optioned with 498 "Deletion of Model Designation". When I first got the car, I found out that the 2nd owner had put one on.
I wondered if I should remove the Turbo S to bring the car back to original and to be more discrete.
The irony and stupidity of that thought really should prevent someone like me from ever coming near a Porsche yet alone driving one.
Someone had an article deadline and decided to write about blue colored Porsche's - I hope this isn't really the way everyone thinks.

I didn't get the S on my wife's car quite right either though - think it should have been indexed a little more clockwise, so nobody's perfect. Se la vie.
Jeff, I think a combination of mexico blue and nickel will look great on your car, but think that's better than all blue. Also, there's a guy (user intrepidagent) that does custom crests and he offers a filled crest option that makes the whole top surface smooth which is really nice. I had a pair of these done in the polished nickel in Black & White for my Cayenne, but my wife won't let me put them on since she says the Porsche crest is supposed to be gold, but they look like this. Someday I'll install them when the Cayenne is just another one of our cars and she stops caring about it.
On my RUF car, I had a custom RUF crest done where the checkered flag sections are filled and one color is Silver - same as the car and the other RUF's company green color, so picking up the color of the car in the crest makes it look really sharp IMO

I don't know if I'm the minority, but I very much dislike the "Porsche" letters on the back, like what the new models have in the back. Too snobby and trying too hard in my opinion. That's actually the first thing I'll be doing when I get a newer model - delete the "Porsche" letters and only keep model letters.
Putting 911 on the back is pretty cool though.

What do I know though?...I was guilty myself of putting the Porsche lettering on my Boxster when I had it. Not gonna do this again on my Carrera.
