easy way to make it look better -

clear your headlights, side markers, and rear tails.
Paint your bumperettes

car will look 10x better. all the above (except the headlights) are relatively cheap. the side markers are like $25 or something. the tails are around $250. you can paint your own bumperettes by getting a paint kit for under $100, or go to bumperplugs.com and get a professionally done set for around $300.

the lights are $500 for halognes and over $1000 for litronics..those are used/ebay prices. I've done all the above except the headlights... and in my opnion, these few upgrades, done to an older 986, makes them looks a LOT newer and more modern. you get a cleaner look.

the bumperetts will look great on your car - as the black bumperettes really stand out on a lighter colored car like yours. i'd do that first!

wheels look good.
