Really nice work. All mods compliment the car. I love black wheels on white.

I liked it stock, the way you bought it. It's so rare that we get to see a white 911 like yours!

I work at a Cadillac dealership in Phoenix and we have a vendor that repairs wheels, he removed each wheel, sanded them, taped off the brushed lip then painted and clear coated them. They finished product is amazing.
The LED tail lights are made by Spyder, I picked them up on eBay and I am totally impressed with the fit, finish and how they make the rear of the car look so different.

Sorry, I think the smoked and dyed lights look tacky / ricey.

I'm happy to see you lost the chrome wheels! (Unless you live in South Florida or LA they just seem so tacky).

looks better , i prefer 18s but those look better than the chrome for sure. Stock is seriously boring on these cars, tasteful mods are welcomed IMO. I too dont like tinted lights, but the rest is great!

White and black in Aero trim is fantastic.
