Nice car Cayman...where did you get those red brake vent trim pieces. I am looking for my 2011 MCS and cannot seem to find them to fit my car. Everywhere I see them they are only for the JCW models.

[QUOTE=TR56;3841294]...but today I had the urge to take a few pictures...so on the way home stopped off at an empty office park. QUOTE]
I enjoyed both of your shots - you've got a great eye for photography. Oh, and a nice ride too!

Thanks man. I just Plastidip'd it really. All the trim pieces (minus the belt line) were plastidip'd a year and a half ago. If you look at the grill trim pieces, it's finally starting to peel. Unfortunately, it's starting to get to cold for me to redip it.

For the gas cap, it's been very durable. I've had a few drip accidents on the cap and it's still holding up.

Some Cooper scuttles would look nice, would match the rest of the black stuff on your car.

Black out the chrome. Tint the wheel well side marker lights. I popped mine out and used VHT spray tint. Came out super clean.
