I vote no, but I would consider some black around the plate cutout or perhaps a custom emblem or graphic on backside of duck/lip

I was thinking more like this from a 944 in black, and maybe even wrap it around side of duck...

no longer mocked up. But, not happy with the way the harness bar works. Probably going to have to lose it.

also got some electrical work done. have to get two more relay's and then I can test everything out as far as high/low lights, turn, running and stop.

Pick up turbo brackets tomorrow as well as the relay's. I will have time to mount the turbo brackets, but ran across a small snag on my intercooler. Going to have to solve that one.

Headed to Orlando next week, so it will be about 3 weeks before much more progress.
