Thanks! The GoPro Mount for the exhaust shots is just the GoPro Large Suction Cup Mount. Worked pretty good. Next time I will try some boom shots with a GoPro Boom setup I bought and do more 360 shots.

Nice job, gotta respect the dedication and follow-through.

Not a fan of faking model names though.

Isn't really faking a model name when that model name doesn't even exist...

Minus the decals, I tried to build the car that Porsche should have.

Maybe you should name yours "GT-5 RSR" to one up Stephan. Lol.

SSHHHHH!!!! Don't let the cat out of the bag that early.

I have to cut a bit more weight from the car before I can officially call it an RSR

How long ago did you buy this from them? I didn't think any dealer (or anybody else!) had it for sale for at least a few years. If I could still get it I probably would since I can't really lower my car much with the front bumper and how much I scrape already. Colorado has a ton of parking lots with high/steep entrances that I already have to take at a 45 degree angle to clear them, and there are a lot of drainage ditches (not really ditches, but I have to take them at 45 too in order to clear) across the local streets where I scrape sometimes. The small amount the M030 lowers the car would be perfect and probably the height I'd set coilovers at anyway since my car is a daily driver. I wouldn't want to have to take every little dip at a 45 in my DD.

The ROW M030 is still available. Here's one place that carries them:

But like everything Porsche, pricing has gone up considerably since a few years ago.

The sports suspension you're probably thinking of is the more aggressive and lower X74 kit which they stopped producing a couple years back. Sounds like this one wouldn't fit your situation any how.
