You can trace the clears that are on the car, and make a template with newspaper, buy a sheet of 3M car wrap membrane and experiment. Thats what I did and paid 15 euro total for mine! Buying factory blacks and then clears to replace if you dont like will run like $100-150 from suncoast with shipping.
I am all for experimenting so give it a shot!

Well, to depict this in a plain photoshop is not easy, but here is a stab. I used black initially but it will never be pure black, but as black as the tires, as it is matte, so gave it a grey tint.You can trace the clears that are on the car, and make a template with newspaper, buy a sheet of 3M car wrap membrane and experiment.

Thank you so much for doing that for me!! I appreciate it!
My wife actually loves it!
It's growning on me too! Who would install it if I got it.......Porsche??? Would my New Jersey dealer be able to get it for me?Tom

No... YOU!
Real easy. Hairdryer to soften the old ones and sopay water solution to make the new ones stick. Squeegy out the excess and bubbles...
If you arent up for it, any shop that does clear bras or tinted windows. And potentially, if you are near a shop that does car wrapping, I am sure they will have material to cut for you on the spot. Make a template with a pencil from the clears you have on now, as they sit on the car, on a newspaper... Thats what I did. My experiment as I said cost 15 euro.

Now on that you and my wife are in total agreement. I had that idea and she just looked at me and said, "Isn't the TB with black wheels enough!!!"Originally Posted by TommyV44
I'm still considering the stone guards....yours look fabulous!:lowdown: I'm not sure the black on my TB car might be a bit ostentatious (sp?)All the best,

I liked the idea of black stone guards, but once my wife pointed out that they were too much I gave it some more thought and she was right (but she likes them on some cars, just not on a PTS TB that already has black wheels and other pieces of black trim. Of course, on matters of style and appearance, she is right about 99 percent of the time! (Plus, and this was her closing comment, "You paid all that money for PTS and you want to cover some of it up?"!)Originally Posted by TommyV44

The wheels do look old school BBS, but I'd skip the black stone guards.

Tommy, wheels look amazing, love the old style BBS look. HRE makes some awesome wheels. In my opinion, I would do the black stone guards, that color blue with the black stone guards look hot!
