Let's be upfront here: I'm probably not gonna do a damn thing with mine, other than perhaps re-spray the SS rocker covers black due to a lot of crappy looking flake-off. But the PO also gave me a set of negative PORSCHE decals. Unsure about those.

Post your photos - I'm trying to decide what's a good look for my color.

I agree with Wayne on the painted rockers. It makes the car look lower if they are body color. My rear valance is body color, but since I seem to have a habit of scraping parking curbs on the front, my front is rattle can black. I'd like it to be body color too.
