Blacked out Amber

[PorscheBound]

I have mine blacked out. We removed the headlights and actually taped off and professionally sprayed the amber with black paint and then clear coated and baked them. Most on this forum find it to be ugly as stated above. The amber is hideous in my opinion. The amber runs with absolutely nothing on the car. Most black boxes have black tops, and silver wheels. Then you just have random orange tossed in. The amber does not flow at all. Once taken away the overall theme of the car in many cases is revived and you no longer are sporting a Halloween Boxster. At least the orange in the stock tails is a bit more subtle.

Edit: In the case of your wifes car the argument of flow remains the same. The car has a black and white theme. White paint, white decal on windshield, black wheels, black grills, black top, black vents, black decal on rear quarters, and then BOOM! ORANGE in the headlights and side markers. Does. Not. Fit.

Actually, the amber on a black car matches the colors of the German flag. The black, red and amber are for Germans the same as our red, white and blue. Personally on a black car, I prefer the amber and it adds to the color scheme of a German produced car, it doesn't take away.
