Don't do it! They will be torn up in no time at all. The 911's kick rocks all over the place.

No need to delete the thread. The ones on the car are pretty much pebble blasted so im going to swap them out. If aftermarket CF was the same money as stock plastics Id give it a shot and wrap them with 3m.

I found these, not sure what they can sell a set for though.

I was just poking fun a little
No harm meant

Painted rockers sometimes look good but get shredded even with clear bra

Same here, just poking.. Unless you use your car only to trailer it to concourses, it is pointless, they get beat up just driving down the road ;-)

ROFLMAO

Very big. And you'd win for sure.

Actually for real concourse stuff there are points and cups. At cars and coffee your measured by the crowd surrounding your car, or if you are into burnouts, how many views you get on youtube or streetfire LOL..

if im going to win cups i better find some CF cup holders too. man this is getting expensive.

Im good with seeing my cars lined up in the garage all by myself. big crowds freak me out and im antisocial, I just like to go drive fast
