Cannot go wrong with BBS LMs....they work with almost anything.

I feel like BBS LM’s and Enkei RPF1’s kinda look good on everything.

My experiment was to wrap my ashtray lid in matte black vinyl, I can see my mistakes, but for the cost of a few cents of material, I can do it over and over 'till I'm happy with it. I have a whole spare console from a wreck to practise and perfect my chops.
Do your door spears (near the handle) next and PM me to let me know how it went? That would be amazing.

I know this is an old post, but why swap out the Xenons for the Morimoto?

Probably for an updated look, fresh lenses, and a much improved light output...

Weekend project ….997 GT3 rear lip spoiler 😃 I was too scared to drill into my OEM aero wing…so I cut off the plastic bolts attached to the lip, filled the hallow insides with auto body seam sealer, and leveled it off (best result of the 3 products I tried). Then I used 1/4” body tape from 3M to secure it. Took longer than I thought, but I think it came out pretty good ! ( Not pictured here, but I did manage to trim the excess 3M tape that was poking out )
