The idea was to do my usual style ...
Like I said earlier , I'm a cal-look guy

I believe the American h20 guys call it OEM+ , which you may be more familiar with ??

Subtle mods using factory parts from another model or sister brand , or aftermarket parts that look "factory" ...
Or subtle things that have owners of the same car either do not notice , or ask questions like somebody did earlier about the side skirts I fitted .

THAT is a result to me !!
And you noticing the hood badge is a result to me too

The wheels kind of take away from all the work going on with this car and draw people's attention away from the mods done .

This is not a new thing .
I am European , and this has been going on for years over there .
It started off with race teams using different colored wheels for different tyre compounds and treads .... Some even tricking competitors by changing wheel colours mid race or mid season
It's not my usual style , but definitely growing on me .
Especially among the sea of chromed and blacked out rims on every car in SoCal

With regards to the tail-lights being red , there is not much I am prepared to do about that .
Every aftermarket option I have seen looks far inferior to Porsches own 2003 lights fitted ( though they too have had a subtle mod)
