I'm glad to join the community and introduce (with pictures) my first Porsche. It's a dream car (even having come from a long line of BMWs), and I absolutely love it.
I picked her up in Washington State at Porsche of Bellevue, and had a fantastic drive home over the Memorial Day weekend back to CA. She's a 2012.5 C2S with really simple options including (most importantly) a 7spd manual gear box!
I've only done a few subtle modification so far: LED side markers and simple DIY de-badge/re-badge project. I've got some ECS Tuning wheel spacers on the way!
Looking forward to getting her on the track or running some autocrosses soon! Hope to see you all there!

Driving the Oregon coast on the way back to CA. Awesome drive!

A good side profile shot where you can see the new LED clear side markers

Gray + white - both my favorite colors. I did the same clear side markers mod, and have the AWE switchpath on the way. Those guys have a six week waiting time due to large volume of orders, but I hear good things.

Totally digging the dark theme of your car. That must of been a hell of a spirited drive with that crew.

Though I haven't named my cars in the past, I've decided to name her "Charis", which means gift of grace. I'm feeling grateful for owning such an awesome car!

Congrats on Charis good sir! Please let us know how your first couple of autocross events go
Welcome Bright! You have my exact car except mine is a 2013. I've done lots of mods ha. I bought mine in Calif (San Diego) and drove to Az. Gotta love those taxes huh?
Enjoy your new "friend".
