I too like the look of that car "as is". Maybe just go with black stone guards and black headlight trim. Both will go with the black wheels.

That car is stunning, not cute. Wrap it and ruin it. Leave it as is and avoid the ricer look. Enjoy!

and you think some fake CF wrap make it look like GT3?

The only option you have is to go with an Aerokit, that would 100% make the car look more aggressive.

this link has pics of a GTS b4 and after some mods. Not feeling the black side protectors, rest is cool. Not too sure about the racing decal either.
My only modification has been to remove the Carrera GTS lettering on the rear and replaced it with just the GTS. IMO, it makes for a cleaner look.

Dude, who can even see your roof? To look from a high rise? I just don't get it!

Get an Aerokit for the car and call it a day... simple. But you seem determined to just tape up the car with fake ****e, so go ahead then...

The new 991 has the black glass roof option. I saw it in person and it looks great. I guess I was trying to see if I can simulate that look via glossy black wrap.

I would CF wrap anything that is not typically made out of CF. Our Porsche's do not have a CF roof--so CF wrap will look like a wrap. Hood--OK, Fin--OK, roof--nah.

My vote--leave as is.
