Are yours gloss black, satin black, or some other finish? I'm leaning towards satin so that the design of the wheel doesn't get lost, plus might be easier to keep clean.

If it was my car, I think I would go with Fuchs style 19" Sport Classic wheels...

I would also replace the exhaust tips with high quality black ones. Would probably update the Carrera emblem to black.

The black cabrio roof to me is what creates the harmony with other items being black.

Great looking car!

Good thoughts. I will have to look into the exhaust tips and a black emblem. I'm personally not a fan of the modern take on the Fuchs wheels although I know they're quite popular.

If you end up going with the black exhaust tips, "Carrera S" emblem - a simple black powder-coated license plate frame would look good in my opinion. Anything silver will become a distraction. Big focus will be on the exterior paint color which is fantastic.

Really a rare and special looking 911.

Good luck with it.

It's viciously contagious. My MacBook got it. To cure it, you have to hit the space bar four times after every word. With that you get proper "word distancing". After three weeks of that, it cleared up.
