Default Cool Assembly Vid - two tone wheels
2009 C2S 154K miles

I am not sure this was how the two-tone wheels were painted by the factory back in 2000...... but it is max cool! Wheel painting starts around 4:22. Laser zap 'em!

Peace

Here's a video showing how the 997.2 Carrera & GT3 models were built back in the day (ignore the 918 in the video thumbnail). Also, skip the first 4-mins (it's vacuous PR fluff), but it gets quite interesting and detailed after that...

I dig the cheesy orchestral music in the backgrounds...... sounds like an old Disney nature film. The 356 music sounds a bit like Gershwin... on a really bad day.
