If it's not it should be.
I like the car otherwise.

The sticker looks great but the right angle in the LED's doesn't relate to anything else on the car- there isn't a straight line on them!

Don't like the LEDs, personally, but if you want to sell the old ones, PM me, please.

I like the headlights, the winshield decal kind of makes the whole front end too busy.
if you want decals, I think PORSCHE on the doors is a better option, breaks up all the yellow.
Some side skirting and the GT3tek rear bumper attachment would be a nice follow up upgrade since you already have 18" wheels.

I would stay period correct; Xenons or more correctly for 2001, Litronics.

LED or Xenon, they both look great mate so no worries about which one you should go with. As long as YOU like them, those are the ones for YOU. I wouldn't ask/POLL anyone's opinion RE these personal choices.
Post your pics e.g. on a car detailing forum if you NEED anyone's opinion, you'll have better chances to hit a (younger & switched-on) crowd that knows better about design and taste
Nice car and add-ons btw. You are just missing a AM/FM radio and you are all set!

I like the xenon's better. The LED's are a little too much for my personal taste. But its your car, do what you like!
I like the look of the visor banner and I have one on my track car but it can make the car feel a bit claustrophobic to some people when riding along. I suppose the easy solution to this is to keep the top down!

The banner's hideous, but otherwise the car looks great!

I like the banner, just not for me, but looks great on your car! I prefer the Xenon's over the LED's.

Bumper has wider gaps on corners against hood edge. Body shop or easy adjustment?

I'd love the led ones, if they didn't had the led parts. Love the black interior parts, and the top part looks clean. The shiny cristal leds in the bottom part are a deal breaker to me.

Like the banner a lot; prefer the old lights only because the LEDs seem too angular compared to all the rest of the car's lines.

Get rid of either the windshield banner or the decals on the side skirts. Too much going on.

personally i'd loose the windsheild banner, it's a bit 70's and after all everyone know's it's a porsche (and if they don't then cars probably don't interest them anyhow)
