I don't mind the tint, looks pretty good on this car. Overall I think your car looks really good as is. I know the feeling of wanting to add things or change things up for a different look, but sometimes just keeping what you have in really good condition is the best option.

What about a carbon fiber pattern wrap for the hood? Also, I kind of like the stone guards - gives it an '80's retro look. If you want to add some bling, you might want to look at a decal for just above the rocker panel. There are some cool ones out there. The nice thing about it is that you can just peel & remove if you get tired of it. Have some fun with your car if that's what you want. People have been customizing Porsches for decades.

The expiration date for the faux carbon look has come and gone. I checked the ImportTuner.com website - they don't have ANY Di-Noc wrapped hoods or roof panels, so you KNOW it's played out.

But, like every other visual mod, the only really important opinion is your own - you're the person who drives it and looks at it the most...

Exactly, Porsche's really don't need anymore unnecessary black striping, fake carbon fiber panels, or PORSCHE logos to make them go any faster or let people know that you are driving one.

It screams-- I really couldn't afford the ride, and I certainly can't afford to maintain it, but I can afford to put something else black on the car besides the wheels.

Maybe just putting RICER WANNABE on the side in black letters might help with the identity crisis.

OH LAWWWD... just stay off of the EBay.

We can theme these stickers for each Porsche model based on owners tendencies
