It's your car, do as you wish. I don't think chrome is for performance sport cars.

it would be pretty cool if you chromed your wheels and got some chrome teeth as well. maybe with a porsche emblem embedded on one of the front two. That would bring hard core to another level.

I don't see why you are against de-ambering. The only reason we have amber bits on our cars is because of the stupid US DOT laws. They are not amber in Europe. So what is wrong with putting your car back to the way it was designed to look?

LOL yeah but maybe just ghost the front....

seriously I have 18" Carreras on mine which I like as is but chrome is cool...

I haven't been impressed with the paint quality on the Porsche's I've seen and wonder why we don't see more custom paint out there.
