Did you have the airbag ring painted to match? It really does look good! I've been thinking of having mine done in the same way too but with the aluminum look instead.

I had Eric at Bumperplugs.com paint the airbag trim. The part pops off once you remove the air bag module and you can drive the car without this part while it's being refinished. You can also pop it back in place without removing the air bag.

It's unfortunate that you can get the "Y Trim" on the standard wheel finished in a variety of choices (paint, alulook, leather) directly from Porsche, but not this part. Eric did a great job and can do aluminum look as well.

Thanks guys for all the props on the car/wheels. I'm extremely happy with the way the car came out and I think the P43s seriously improve the look. The 20s definately do not look too big and I also think the ride has improved over the stock 19s. Unfortunately, I already slightly curb-rashed the right rear wheel. The way the Monobloks are designed, the tire sits well inside the edge of the wheel (you can see the back edge of the wheel rim). The tire offers no protection at all like the stocks - not that 25 series tires are going to offer much protection anyway! I'll try to post some more interior/top down pictures tomorrow.
