Default 991 4S reflector vs jubi 50

So, sue me, but I'm wondering if I can replace the chrome accents between the taillights from my 991 Jubi 50 with the illuminated reflector from a 991 4S.

I *really* like that reflector and I miss my 996 4S so much that I would like to change it (if the thing is reversible of course).
Thx!

No one will know because no one has tried to do it. I don't want to be disrespectful and I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but why? It's a limited edition car. The chrome slats match the grill over the engine. IMHO it won't look good and will be expensive I'm sure. People always make changes...sometimes for the better but usually for the worse. If price is no object then try it but it confuses me. It's like changing the wheels out as well. I see many modified 911's. In my eye they are usually uglier for the effort.

+1 Bacura, if you have a limited edition car your in a small league of your own, I would keep it original. I have a plain base car and I can't think of anything to change. I wasn't extremely fond of the wheels at first but they sure did grow on me.

Quite fancy a Mexico Blue wrap and ducktail for my 50th edition. All reversible at some point. Not sure am brave enough with a fairly new car. I say go for it, you can always change it back!

Maybe not a joke, but not really a serious comment!

I will not sue you, because I have not been harmed. I am considering, however, petitioning the court to get you a psychiatric assessment...don't do it!

IMO, do not in any way alter a 911 50th, you will ruin the look of the car and depreciation will be costly. In other words, don't F... with it!

As much as I would have no intention in doing it to mine, I'm still curious as to how it would look...it certainly wouldn't "ruin" the car, and just like us poor blokes in the US that have to swap-out our stupid amber marker lights, its 100% reversible. I say go for it - if you don't like it, change it back!
