In keeping with the sillyness of puddle lights, I also picked up some blue trim strips for the interior.

Around the window switches on the doors and around the dash gauges.

Sure, there's a degree of 'tacky' to these (and not just the 3M adhesive strips holding them on). But it's a fun bit of color to add without having to bend over for the factory painted trim options.

Lol. That is about as tacky as it gets. Laughing with ya, not at ya.

Ewww. Just threw up in my mouth a little.

wkearney99

Yeah, I know, but upside is they're removable if I don't like it or get tired of it.

But hey, at least I stopped short of a set of colored PCM **** controls, trims for the clock, ignition switch, upper and side vents or door lock LEDs, right?

Apparently the sales figures for these vehicles are high enough in the asian markets to support quite the aftermarket bling industry.

The wife never liked the fuzzy dice I had on my old Cadillac convertible, even less when I found a pair that were illuminated. And the stick-on Hula girl.. that got an outright NO vote.

I'll have to see about finding one of those crown air fresheners, if just to really yank all y'all's chains...

If your car isn't blue on the outside, you're going to have to do a lot of 'splainin' to justify blue trim in a tan leather interior on a non-blue car.

"Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it."

People who do stuff like this on Harleys call these bits "farkles" and believe me, there are some seriously farkle-addicted Harley owners. Somehow, I figured Porsche owners over 35 years old would have outgrown the urge to farkle.

Yep, kinda like... replying to threads.

And maybe start hot-gluing some stuff on the outside. Like one of those Thai buses.

+1 - I'd pay to see that..

I love the installation instructions:

Thank Dog you installed them on a good day.. (but - what inspired the blue? The silver ones don't look altogether ghastly?)

wkearney99

I'm not quite that deranged, yet.

"Art cars"... that's what they call them. It would appear the Porsche community has only been brave enough to do it with paint.

CarGuyNVA

His GTS is blue....nice looking vehicle.

Yeah, it was nearly 70F here in MD yesterday. And today it's 32F with a wicked amount of wind gusts. Tomorrow's supposed to be colder, but Saturday should see it back 60F+ again.

We get all four seasons around here, sometimes in the same week!

The outside is Sapphire Blue. The shade on those is just about the same. Close enough in color and far enough apart to be an ok match.

Oh, you can get ghastly. Check out this abomination:
