Thats kinda funny. Maybe do acid green paint inside of the shifter diagram. Kinda scratches the itch without being overboard.

I like the acid green calipers, but I don't like the brown stone guards. I prefer clear for the stone guards.

Brown stone guards: like
Green calipers: meh
Depo LEDs: I don't understand the LED craze. I love the look of the .1 and think that trying to modernize it takes away some of the now retro charm.

+1

I think the OE solid red tail lights look the best on the 997.1.

Like the brown stone guards but only when the top is up or there is no connection in terms of color. Calipers seem overkill but with all of that being said, people think the GT4 wing on my 911 is overkill but I like it so I'm keeping it.

Solicit opinions but do what you like, it's your car and you have to see it and drive it everyday, we don't.

I like the brown stone guards in the photo with the roof up. They will also work top down as long as your interior is cocoa - otherwise, not so much.

I'd pass on the acid green calipers and leave them red to represent the type of brakes they actually are - Big Reds.

Don't do what makes you happy, it can only lead to ridicule

But I like Pho's idea. And then you'd have to go with a lime green top as well

Fellow cocoa guy here. Never liked the acid green stuff.

Stone guards might work but the top almost look black in certain light so it might still look like two different colours.

Are the stone guards really available in brown/cocoa? Have never seen it.
