Finally. Pix!
Here's a couple of shots of my car with my new aftermarket carrera lights and colored center caps. Oh yeah, the shots also show my Michelin PS2's, the most expensive tire I have ever bought in my life (and worth every penny!)

And a close up of the wheel. I told the wife this was the shot to "oooh and aaah" over because it shows the very hard work on the painted calipers and new decals!

The car is actually kind of dirty. I just took some Meguirs Detailing spray and hit the passenger side for the picture. A year ago, I used my new PC polisher with Menzerna intensive polish and then final polish and finally, a coat of Klasse All In One.
Let me assure you that if you examined my paint job up close and personal-like, you'd be disgusted and wonder why I have not yet had the car repainted. I sure would like to have it torn down and repainted properly, but it's $4k or so and that's 70% of a SC kit so I will do that first and quite possibly, have the car repainted properly when it turns 15 years old.
I've bought raffle tickets for the PCA drawing and the Ashville Symphony again this year, and should I win, I'll sell the car instantly or take the cash prize and keep my car, using that cash to do all sorts of engine mods (how about a turbocharged or SC'd 3.4, anyone? and get that paint job I want.)
This is not my current ride. It's my hobby.

To me, the wheel change updates the car's look completely. Very, very nice. Can a signature block change be far behind?

About the PS2's, its so good that your driving on them, lol. It made me so sad to see all the 911's in imagine auto with flat PS2's in the showroom. Not flat because they had holes, just never used and just for decoration.

Looks great! What did you use on the calipers? Did you paint them on or off the car? Clear coat?
Thanks,
