Really wasn't criticizing you (Joe Bob) or the car (well maybe a little the car), was just inspired by the "artistic" presentation of the photo

you meant 8 out of 10 as the paint job quality? $1600 is cheap. You should post the place's contact for reference.

I remember when the rocket went away and you first bought that car. Very cool that it was refreshed. Congrats!
Blue is very cool and classic, but I really like what you did with the green previously.

early 911 style and droptop just does not come togeher at all, sorry.
and being happy with a 8/10 just because of low $1600 is weird. I'd rather have a 10/10 für $2500. but anyhow, its a 911 back on the road, so respect for that, enjoy!

Always amazes me how some people feel that it is their duty to provide unsolicited criticism. In my culture it is considered rather impolite, but perhaps that is what makes this world as colorful as it is.
I think it looks good Joe Bob. As for my unsolicited opinion, I like it when the wheel color is carried through, so perhaps some silver side graphics? |

Looks great!
Have you thought about adding some speedster humps? That would smooth out the lines a bit. MattR |
