I normally hate those wheels but your car looks really sharp just the way it is.

Adds a lot of class to the neighborhood. That your place. Piedmont has some beautiful homes. The Porsche fits right in.

It is just the lighting ~7pm; perfect time to get the right shades.

Glad you noticed since my car was inspired by your avatar after seeing it a few years ago!

Thanks - makes the work taking care of it worth it specially considering it is a daily driver, has seen track duty, winters in Ohio, etc..

That's exactly what I was aiming for - a car that you would notice but keep it very tasteful.

They look like they were designed to work on this exact car.

Yep; boxtster red interior which adds another layer of interest. I had never kept a car this long (going into 5 years) but I may be relocating internationally next year. May have to sell depending on location.

I do live in Piedmont but the houses in the background are much nicer than mine. Not unusual to leave in the morning behind another 911, m3, etc..

Running KWv3s. It was actually even lower but just moved it up a bit to avoid hitting things...Overall great suspension but it is definitely firmer than stock. It is a must if you go with 19s though since otherwise the car looks weird.

Car looks GREAT. I think the height is perfect. In fact, can you send me the measurements from the wheel well arch to the ground?

Thanks

Don't know what you could do to improve upon what you have. An exceptional car.

I checked them and both front and rear are at 25 inches. I do not know if one of them should be lower than the other but this "looks" right as you see in the pictures.
