Does anyone seriously think those rear lights look good? Don't understand why anyone would ever spec them.

I'd personally feel a bell end driving that. You can get away with it on a GT3 (you'd still look a bell end, but you're in on the joke) as it's more of a 'toy' - the Turbo is meant to be for grown ups!

Hopefully this link should take you to images under the featured work heading. You will see before and after for Jlo!

Even I find it a bit much what ever its on.

I am a decal fan and usually do a little something to personalise my cars a little but Im not sure I could pull that off every day.

I am with you - terrible rear lights / stripes

turbo should be understated wallop, not "hey everyone, look at me", unless you need/want that, or temporary LM trip

all IMHO

Looking at the pics, is it just me that gets annoyed when, after spending £140+k you still get a load of switch blanks on the centre console to remind you that you did not spec all the options?

What's so special about it? Another 911 with a few trinkets, it seems.

I like the subtle attention to detail ie the sport design wing mirrors the painted rear spoiler etc
Makes the 991 look so much better imho
Bloody hell just seen that it is £20k more than a normal turboS for what?makes my Spyder look a bargain

I think the stripe only look would work well - those in the know will know exactly what it relates to whilst those who don't won't think you're driving a promo car. Rear lights are awful

Thanks for sharing. nice detail. I think mine is due for one.

The stripes are the right thickness, I think I would suffer OCD problems as the stripe has gaps. I am a bit weird in that regard.

Maybe but it would be difficult to have a different interior layout for each combinations of options... and not all options are desirable to everyone eg soft top, heated seats etc.

I'd be happy to drive it around as long as Martini & Rossi pay for it
