    either he was blinded by the shine or he just ripped one not sure lol

    If he did rip one I'm surprised that your lens didn't fog up! LOL

    Other than that great work as always by you and your team. Though the quick finish, do only the smaller bottles get the pump spray? The bottle you got me has the atomizing trigger. Just curious

    that's an older bottle that I use, all of the bottles now have the trigger.

    Is that wing fake? Caymans just have the sloped back, not the whale tail wing like the 1995ish 911s had.
    But, nice detail- great products

    wow. nice work phil. Those green lip rims set that porsche off. WOW.

    By the size of that wing you can tell the owner drives that thing how it should be driven

    These things looks like fine in white, and the wheels really set it apart. Nice work making her look perfect!

    It's not fake...it's a custom addon as phil said.

    That car is so hot, I have never seen a Cayman or Boxster with a 997 front end before. Great job though, you get to work on some real eye candy!

    yup a gt3 front bumper on the cayman sets it off nice.

    Nice job by your crew on this one. I was going to reference that same pic as the others too...It would be fun to add captions to it. I guess I'm in the minority..I neither like the wing nor the wheels. It's a beautiful car how it comes from the factory, IMO. Great job again.
