Keep it wingless. The profile is so iconic to butcher.

IMO the carrera vinyl down the side butchers the car more than the wing. I don’t care if it’s a throwback, I find it tacky

That top picture doesn’t look right. I would like to see it from the rear I guess. The wheels and Carrera vinyl aren’t right for that car at all.

Word, doesn’t matter how cool of a car you put in it, people will still like the garage more

I agree I do love the look. Just weighed mine this morning and 19x9.5 weighed in at 25lbs. That’s 7lbs lighter than my stock wheels so I’m not complaining

I think they were spot on the same weight as the OEM 19" carrera wheels with pilot sports on them, vs. the M510 with the PSS on them.

any issues keeping the 510’s clean

i am trying to put a sealant on them and they are a “satin” finish that isnt very accepting of any coatings and id imagine they would make keeping them clean a PITA

The bumpers seem to be too aggressive without even a little spoiler action… It looks pretty good though. We’ve been shopping around for a Turbo for a while (996) or a C2/C4 997… nice to see clean ones.
