Sitting out by the lake the other evening in the car, I had the windscreen illuminated. A couple of bubbas came walking by several times. They finally came up and asked what it was, they had never seen anything like it. Complimented the look and said it was very cool Again, fantastic job Fred

I'll be honest, I also like the white etch look during day time also. So class, looks sharp man. Reminds me when we had 'stickers'. Was also sort of okay but nothing like this

Pumped up my slow leak front tire with my bicycle pump and took the Boxster car for a ride today. No roof down however.... car is filthy and all but don't care was so nice to drive it. I'll take pics when I gave it a good wash (embarrassing... nearly 2 months parked in the dusty shed)

Oh and finally got my amber SkyBreaker on! Not sure, sure does looks amazing but something tells me the red is better. I'll need you guy's opinion as some stage next week on that (please lol)

Let me figure out how to outline that RS logo and I'll post back something far more better looking that above (apologies btw, was a quick photoshop)

Actually, it was at dusk and I had the LED's on, so they were impressed with the blue illumination. When it is still light out, and the LED's are on, it really looks good

Oh I know Bruce, was following no worries. RE looking good, its actually pretty wicked when those LED are turned on. Also Blue-on-Blue must be quite something. Haven't seen it in person I'll be honest but judging from your pics I bet that colour combo is a headturner.

Just took that chance to brag about the white etching during day time. Not many are impressed by that... dunno why LOLL

I think that also brings out the Porsche owner pride thingny pretty well (less the finger prints and dust, sorry)

Ok, I wasnt sure I do love the etching on its own as well, 1000 times better than the sticker. Definitely first class! I wish I could get to Shanghai but this is the last month for the 777 from DFW. Next month they are putting the 787 on that route

2016 we are pushing for Austin,TX for May (motogp) and was thinking of going - I haven't seen the Austin circuit yet. Might well see you sooner than you think Captain Glad to hear you are not having this jetlagged route anymore, can't be an easy job but still fun I guess
