Let's be upfront here: I'm probably not gonna do a damn thing with mine, other than perhaps re-spray the SS rocker covers black due to a lot of crappy looking flake-off. But the PO also gave me a set of negative PORSCHE decals. Unsure about those.
Post your photos - I'm trying to decide what's a good look for my color. (IMG:http://lh6.ggpht.com/_adaRwINBOu4/SvMHQR7hYII/AAAAAAAAAt4/-0KBKiIswUY/s800/IMGP0151.JPG) |

To me, body-colored rockers make the car look overweight. I prefer black.

QUOTE(Dave_Darling @ Nov 10 2009, 05:37 PM)  To me, body-colored rockers make the car look overweight. I prefer black. --DD (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) All that metal painted the same color makes the 914 look "thick" in the middle. Obviously, if the car is black, it's ALL body color, but a black car avoids that "overweight" look that DD refers to. Paul |

Not if the car is flared and lowered (look at my car again and tell me it looks "fat")
