Default evolution of the modern look

after initial apprehension on the modern look, it has grown on me especially with the complements coming from our brothers. now the evoultion of the car begins.. i started off with white pinstripes...what do you guys think... there are more mods coming. nothing too extravagant just external accents.

The wheels look so much better. How did you put the pinstipes on? Did you paint them?

Rick,

The wheels withthe white stripe look good, but I do not like the black behind the real wheel. Looks out of place without the rest of the stripe.

Totally agree. Looks completely out of place.

Love the White pin stripes! If you put a similar black accent in font or behind the front wheel
it might look cool

Much better! I like the black headlight surround, it looks great and really stands out in a good way.

I agree, removing the tint helped clean up the look.

My two cents...

Love the wheels without the pinstripes
No tint def looks cleaner
Like the headlight surronds, what about white?

Have you thought about tinted DRLS or Headlights. I saw a White 997.2 with that done and it looked sweet!

Great car!

Love the painted wheels on the white....don't like the black surrounds.
