so I was bored yesterday and decided to spice up the beast. I think it looks great, and it matches my black grille now. Going to throw the CF front lip back on and pickup a diffuser from Gary soon

Interesting touch. I noticed that in the first set of pics your rims have chrome lips and in the last it has matte black lips ... did you do the lips as well?

Man, you should hit the whole trunk and the middle of the hood black keeping what you did, it'll look better. Matte white sounds goood, it'll transform the car.

Keep this is mind, We plasti-dipped our shop's white porsche 996 with red and we found that when we removed it the red had stained into the clear coat and now we are stuck with a blotchy pink 911. I read that there is a certain chemical in the spray that can affect certain paints. I STRONGLY suggest doing a test panel in an inconspicuous place to test for staining.

Gently peel away everything but the license plate insert and I think you may have a winner.

I wouldn't have done that. But as long as you like it, which it seems like you do, then cool.

Yes, it's an E55. It's an aftermarket exhaust system.


OP - looks very unique!

"Gently peel away everything but the license plate insert and I think you may have a winner. "


I agree with OCKlasse. Blacking out the insert will be a perfect counter to the blacked-out grill and will look pretty good.
