Sizzle Chest Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Well, I did my wheels...and now I did the rear emblems! Liking the 'stealth' look it gives it. It's hard to see what it is (if you can't tell and have to read the emblems/badging, lol) in different light conditions. The chrome is gone! Now they are almost body color! Loving doing things to this car! It's fun! Edited December 30, 2013 by Sizzle Chest LFairbanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyfox Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 That's a nice touch. Goes with the body color well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjones85 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I think that looks really nice. A subtle change yet not at the same time (if that makes and sense). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyfox Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Nice. Now stop. Agreed. It really doesn't need anything more now that you have done this and the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForceofWill Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Changing emblem colors is modding like crazy? Different world when you get a porsche I guess lol. Didn't you have a TT GT500? Come back to this thread with some real mods. egott_91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle Chest Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks all! Rich: LOL! ForceofWill: LMAO!!! Yeah, appearance modding. Not touching the engine! Or trying hard as hell not to! Yes, it's a different world now...I'm missing like 600Hp somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Are those replacement emblems or did you somehow paint/resurface them? I'm thinking of doing something similar on my Tacoma's badges -- either removing them, plasti-dipping them or painting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle Chest Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 ^^^I dipped (plasti dip) the factory badges! Marylander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase@InsanePaint Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Why did you Plasti-dip on a Porsche, instead of just buy new emblems....? Glad you're having fun with the new ride though. You're gonna wanna rip those things off, after the first time you polish! Those will be a major PITA to detail around. I do like the color though! Congrats on the new whip! Where do you live in Birmingham? Or is that just where you got the car from? All this time I've seen you on the forum, and I didn't know you were from Birmingham!

Holder Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Plasti dip has been a great tool to see how your car will look with black or dark accents before making permanent changes. Looks great man. Always good to make it your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle Chest Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Thanks all! LOL Ralfy!!! Chase: this is not permanent and I wanted to see how it looked before doing anything perm. Yes, if I need to correct it will be a HUGE pia...thank goodness she's pretty much scratch and swirl free!!! Yep! I am enjoying the new ride! No, I am in Naples, Florida. We purchased the car up there. Flew in one way, spent the night, went to the dealer the next day and by lunchtime we were headed southbound!

Sizzle Chest Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 ^^^LOL! Yes, this is what I need to tell to the wifey! It's damn hard not to mod this thing--'real' mods--engine/exhaust/etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
