Have to say that Red has never been my fav. color. But the black rims w/ red calipers is striking. Love the car. Black TURBO badge is all it needs and you stated it's on its way so thats good. Black lugs and see if you can find a Black center w/ a red crest. I've seen yellow, blue, and green, you should be able to have HRE get a red one. that may be a good look. Just my .02 cents

Thanks again for all the kind words. I am getting that comfounded badge soon enough ... I contacted HRE and they dont have the caps made so I am going mod my original black and gold crest ones. Either all black or maybe red crests?

Awesome looking ride

What is you impression of the GMG suspension set-up? What made you choose this over coil overs? Did the exhaust make a difference?

Congrats on a beautiful ride. Im really feelin the painted lowers. Is it a factory job or did you do it yourself?. Tip is the way to go. Dont know how it compares to the 996 tt tip but I'm assuming it's an improvemnt over the previous one which was pretty good. Wheels look really nice but I would have preferred a polished or lip or maybe a red outline around the wheel.

Thanks Peter, the lowers are all factory painted and I dont have a comparo (tip) to the 996TT cause the one I had was a 6 speed. From my personal experience the Tip is not bad, it could be more responsive but its sufficient and I think a software update will enhance that.

As for the wheels, they are a face forward so there is no lip. The pics dont show the wheels that well but they have a nice concave look in the rear. I thought about the time attack stripe but I just decided to stay all black.

Looks awesome! I love the all black wheels on red. Black center caps with the Porsche crest would look great.

Congrats!
