Thanks for the compliments gents. I still need a few more small tweaks. I need some longer front studs to put some spacers up front and I want to dial in about 1 more degree of negative camber in the rear.

The questions now is, center caps, or no center caps? Maybe silver or black caps over the blue? Not sure.

I'm visualizing maybe the Porsche logo similar to the one on the hood might be cool, just a thought

I wouldn't do center caps, in my opinion they look weird on E88's.

We need a good thread title...

You’re right about the headlight rings. Bring a touch of that inside also? Polished bezel rings could look classy (+ 917 wood shift ****)

I go back and forth. As of now, my thoughts are that they look better with caps in person and better without in pictures. Not sure why... Anyways, I ordered a set of polished BBS caps and hoping they will give me the look I want. They do not fit so I will have to see if I can modify them to fit.

I like that title. ha! Could be "From Midnight to Miami".

I never thought I would be taking the car this direction as I have never been a chrome or shiny fan. I always went for the "race-look". Color-matched or black accents. Maybe it's just me getting older? lol I am digging the polished areas of the car and maybe I will bring some of that inside. I think it is working because it is the last of the classic style 911.

Each 64 has a unique vibe and speaks to us differently. I went for the RS look in my previous 64, and this one said to me, "this is how I could have looked in '91, I'm a fountain of youth".

Mr. Wolfe
Both good suggestion boys , but I really like

From Midnight to Miami.

Mine is part Meissen so I will be "Meissen " my time in during midnight in Miami - Lame I know, but seriously, lets start the Midnight to Miami thread!

You aren't old Greg, just seasoned. I love how the chrome turned out on my car, and it started as a pure black car! Never going back.

I received some Polished BBS center caps yesterday. As of now, I think I am digging the look with the center caps removed, but the center cap adapters installed. I think it still gives that Motorsport look, but maybe slightly more "finished". Thoughts?

Just another picture with the wheel adapters and no center caps. I think this may be my look.
