Man, I kind of like that better than the creamsicle. It sort of makes me want to find a white 914 for my next car. Any chance you'd be willing to share the paint code for that green? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Very nice...
Did you paint chrome bumpers or did you have unplated bumpers? I like the PORSCHE decal how you didn't go into the wheel well like I did on mine. Mine is a tad darker green I think...still unfinished, decals only so far. |

Mine is a tad darker green I think...still unfinished, decals only so far. Thanks! I got the black painted bumpers from EASY and installed instead of the stock chromes. I wanted the decals to go into the wheel wells according to the Jeff's site but the letters on decals came from the supplier were not centered on the sheet and short on one side. So this was my solution to make it look OK. |

Looks great. I think keeping the stickers off the lips looks good. The color match to the paint is spot on.
cheers! dug |
