Ray,
Good looking car! All the different RS color schemes (orange, green, silver, and black) are unique, but white allows the owner to "personalize" the car to a larger extent. Cool car!

My thought was not to make it look like a 996 RS, but rather to have it be the way Porsche does graphics and mirrors on a white car. The last time they did that was on the 996 RS (true), but the graphics are 997 RS graphics. Aestethically, I like the carbon fiber mirrors that tie to the wing, and the blue graphics with the blue wheels. Basically, white/black above the belt line, white/Riviera blue below it (just like the 996 RS, it's true). To my eye, the wheels are more interesting having the spokes painted in pairs (including the bases) and leaving the rims silver, but that's just me.
The "RS" on the wheels are also painted silver, as are the stem caps, which ties to the rim color.
The car certainly has more charisma with the graphics and painted wheels than it has without them. I realize that one could second guess the carbon fiber mirrors, but they look great in person.

Where did you get the CF mirrors? Are they just CF covers or the whole thing? Thanks!
