New to the forum, love my F12!

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it. For the exhaust, those are just the stock tips and I welded a polished steel bar down the center. Again I like to keep things as stock as possible but can't help but tinker around.
Also added the trim moulding between exhaust pipes and the diffuser fins beneath the rear bumper. |

Nice pics...but some details/info would really be helpful to go along with and explain the pics we're looking at (like how you explained what you did to the exhaust tips). Especially since a non-sport pkg 6 GC seems to be rare on this forum.

Thanks! It's my 2008 Porsche Cayman S, reliable as hell. I've got nearly 150K miles on it and still, it drives great and ages well since Porsche front design is so classic. Having 2 cars was a stretch with the wife but I let her drive the Porsche every week and then magically she was cool with it.

done
Added chrome-delete throughout, including side markers, door handles, front grill, and chrome trim below fogs. And added 15mm wheel spacers front & back.

trickiest part was the rear trim on the trunk, around the two big bends where the convertible top flips up. if someone knows an easy way to remove those trim pieces that'd be helpful as hell, I want to redo those. also for those interested I had initially bought high gloss black vinyl but after laying the first strip I switched to a matte/satin black. looks way better IMO
