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...

The decal (to us over 30's guys) is very retro. I have very vivid memories of the speedsters with the Carrera decals when I was kid in the 70's.
If I had a white or yellow Pcar, particularly a vintage one, I would definitely add some sort of decal in black or navy blue.
I'm not sure how I feel about decals that simply say PORSCHE though..
it would have to say Carrera, Cayman or Boxster or Speedster, etc.

The wheels look good,need the colored crests. But what a pain in the arse to keep clean. I don't want anything black or dark grey on any car I ever own again.
