my wife likes the color... Looks like a Rainforest green strip over the roof & Down the F/R bumpers...
As well as painting part of the rear Qtr panels.

Happy Thanksgiving

Also added a little color to the mirrors and wing tips. I figure the yellow mirrors are worth 1/2 second at least.

How come the wing on the Boxster in the background is higher than yours ? It must be slower anyway since it's just a Boxster.

I think the formula is .5 seconds per speed yellow mirror so it's gotta be worth a full second. The endplates don't count because everyone knows that wings just create drag and slow you down, so no help there.

Meh, the Boxster is obviously compensating for inadequacies.
