modded looks hot, but even in stock form a white turbo is sweet

Agree with Art.. White turbos are sweet but yours is so tastefully modded. But you know how much I like your car already lol! It's going to look nice in my garage one day.

I have to go with the modded version!

Visually i would go with the modded look of this car although for me personally i'd colour code the front lip and use a chrome tip look to create an even more oem look. The car in it's present visual form does not clash as such with the general design statement of the car as i've seen others do. As phillip says the car is in general "tastefully" done.

very nice! the wheels look great, and I agree, the white Turbo is awesome, shows all the nooks and vents I sometimes overlook on my darker color version. The tails looks very aggressive too, all around beautiful car!

Stock looks great, and modified is even better! Nice! And White is specially awesome. Do you have a list of mods for us?

Coming from you Paul that means a lot! Thought about painting everything but I like the contrast.

Thanks Phillip, if the 991 has a thrid pedal I'll pay the shipping to your garage! If not you're going to have to convince me that flappy paddles are better when I visit your new gig.
