Wow, that looks... really good. I'm surprised I'm saying that because I rarely say that about this sort of thing.
Don't know about your blue corner lamps though...

i didnt think that would look half decent untill i actually photoshopped it, but im still deciding. theres a guy on ebay, i just checked, selling those for 26 bux
...about the corners, bulbs are out and they are color matched( from some angles it looks off couse of lighting), i bought smoked OEM ones, but well...they dont go w anything on my car, so i returned them

The wheels look great, but the decal is a little on the rice side for my tastes.
Are you taking your wheels someplace to be done, or doing them yourself?

I'm not a fan of the decal or the wheels. I typically am a big fan of black/grey wheels but with your car it just doesn't look right to me. You've done a fantastic job of limiting the contrasting effects of your lights by matching them to the color of the car or the wheels, why add a contrasting color back into the equation? I do see how you are combining the decal with the wheels to get the colors (black) back into the car, but without the decal I'm not sure it would look right...

I like the wheels. But a window screen "PORSCHE" banner would be more suttle. That's the key, to make it visible but not all that noticable. I did my front window screen at the top and had it color matched to my car. It's very suttle. Easy to see during the day and at night hardly at all. But that was my intent for car shows. Most of them are during the day and in the light. Look at my pictures. It's even an outline, not a solid Porsche font. Looks even better this way.

I wouldn't say 'rice'... that Porsche decal is the same type they put on the old 911s, makes me think of the RS. Call a 911RS 'rice', and you're in for a lot of people not liking you!
I think it looks good, but I also think it looks good without the decal.

You wouldn't say rice, but I would... as I said, it was in my opinion The car might not be rice, but the decal certainly can be on it's own.
I just have never liked any decal with the make/model of the car on it. If the car is a track car or sponsored, then I can understand it. But on a daily driven car all it says to me is that the owner can either not remember what type of car they have, or they think their car is so important that they need to display to everyone around them what type of vehicle they are driving.
All in all it's a personal choice, but he asked for others opinions so I offered mine as well.
