i bought her back in september... and i've put 5,000 miles on her since then! i bought this car to drive. ...not to sit in the garage and look pretty. you've got a great board here -- tons of valuable info for a novice like me.

btw, the last photo is simply a negative of the first one. i just thought it was cool!

I remember when you first posted with those new wheels. That's what started the p40 craze for me. Looks like you dropped your car a bit yes? Looks good. I went with the same wheels but in flt black on my 996tt arctic sil car. Thanks and enjoy your ride!

I love those new HRE wheels. How is the handling with the H&R springs? I've been trying to decide if coilovers are worth the additional cost or not. Your car looks awesome btw! Glad I'm not the only one driving the car like it should ... I'm not going to keep it low mileage for the next buyer to enjoy, I'm going to get my money's worth.

i have no complaints whatsoever with the H&R setup. ** however ** i've never had a coil-over setup, so i don't know what i'm missing! i really like my HRE wheels -- fantastic look if you ask me for my humble opinion!

Sweet car man. Has your license plate choice ever 'helped' you get out of any sort of tickets?

what size and offset are those wheels, they look great on the car. What size tire you running also?
