I'm not a fan of hardtop S2Ks but must admit yours looks very nice.

Thanks! I heard this exact statement yesterday from another person as well. Not sure what I'm doing different, there are only so many hardtop styles

FWIW I thought it looked really goofy before the black wheels.

My take is that it is because you, like me, have left the original design pretty much intact. No "fast & Furious" body mods.

As for the wheels, here's an older picture of mine taken near Mount Rushmore to show the Classic Carrier strap on trunk luggage rack with black leather tie down straps I used for long trips. Note the OEM wheels are customized graphite pearl with silver lips




And as an aside, since you show a 911, I've taken a que from the 997 owners who use an inexpensive way to protect their aero kits front lips.

I ordered the Sportwing Dawn 16' roll 1F7 classic silver edge guard DGAR16-HG and will be installing it this week. This to replace an ~18 year old Coastal Metals lip protector that finally took enough abuse that it had become a bit of an eyesore.

Here's an older snap showing the front lip protector in better days. It really worked well as the bumper lip has no scratches or gouges after all these years. They're no longer available and mine was too chewed up to try to restore.

Just installed the Sportswing Dawn material to act as a lip protector. I'm not as young as I once was. My 73 year old knees are killing me.

Here are some pictures taken with my cellphone. Don't know why the first two seem to show a wiggle in the application near the driver's side faux brake cooling intake. The last picture shows the area is just fine.
