Couple of pics

Decided to take some photos of the car since it is nice out and my last post I had some real crappy photos.





Here's a quick photoshop I did, on what I plan on it looking like eventually.

Looks like you have room for a few more cars in the driveway. Wonderful turbo, but the yellow headlight covers seem a bit too...colorful. Black wheels are a matter of choice, so have at it, but with the black car I'd lean towards brighter wheels.

That said, you've got an outstanding example of the Porsche Turbo. Well done.

Hey Matt; thanks! You should have come out to cars and coffee this past Saturday, there was a decent showing of p-cars.

Thanks Kevin! Yeah I took the car to the old Dodge Brother's Mansion, now owned by Oakland University. It makes for a nice backdrop. I wish the place was mine I live in a much more modest 2,400 sq/ft house in suburbia hell!

That photoshop looks mean!

We carry BBS wheels, so let me know if you need help sourcing some LMs.

Thanks Sunir! Yeah this is my first black car, I have avoided black paint like the plague basically because of the upkeep and I'm already going crazy with this car!!

Those aren't BBS Wheels..... Those are some CCW LM20's! I have my eye on set also! Apex are you definitely going to eventually run those? I was thinking about picking up a set and getting a little crazy with lip sizes and offsets.
