pics - do you like these? - wheels & spoiler

From one of the cars off of ebay. What do you think??

I believe those are 17" Enkeis

Car is nice, but a bit overpriced:

Do people not realize that those bras can ruin your paint? Does anyone know what exhaust that is? I like the car, but loose the bra.

lmfao, looks almost like just two chrome tips. And that looks like the Mariah Motorsports wing.
But I don't care how nice it is. $5k starting price for a series 4 N/A coupe...Sorry.

The rims are an inch too large for the car. Would need to see rr spoiler from different angle to make evaluation...looks good from the side though. If those are 18's there's too much metal. If they're 19's they're too big.

the rims are ugly, but the spoiler is pretty nice. the bra is also quite nasty looking and to top it off the exhaust tips are ugly

The wheels are nice, but I'd stick with 16". The spoiler is ok, but bras suck and so do the exhaust tips.

The wheels are good, but I'd turn them the other way.
The bra is definitely bad. My first FC had one and it turned the white paint green with mildew or something.
The wing is similar to the one sold on Mazdatrix and the one sold by Erebuni. But I'm not certain it is one of those two.

Nope... you are not correct. Bras do not damage the paint if used correctly.
(BTW the same things here apply to car covers.)

#1 breathable, you don't want water trapped underneath. If it is not breathable (and only the cheapo Pep boys specials are not) then it must be removed when it gets wet or it will discolor or ruin the paint (the water boils in the sun and if it is trapped under a cheap non-breathable bra its like putting a hot pot or pan against the hood.

#2 regularly wash it in the washing machine and hang dry. This keeps the scratches from minor bits of dust and dirt to a minimum.

#3 a soft flannel interior on the bra. Again this keeps the scratches from minor bits of dust and dirt to a minimum.

#4 remove the bra if there is the chance that the temp might get under freezing.

#5 never put it on a dirty car.

If you follow these little things a bra or car cover will protect your car better than almost anything else

Personally I would go with the lexan semi-hard nose cover instead. It can also be painted to match the car and prevents most of the rock & debris from scratching the nose.

No...no...no...

Those rims do not go with that color. Silver would look great however. Porsche Silver with those rims = sweet. Either that or Black with those rims. But...white, with black trim and silver rims = no no

Not a big fan of those rims. They look to ricey to me. The spoiler is OK. Stock T2 looks better IMHO.
