997TT with HRE P43

Here are a few pics of a 997TT we just completed. We added the HRE P43 in Matte Black finish with a GT silver custom pinstripe. The wheels are 20X8.5 and 20X12 and they are wrapped in Michelin PS2's. The car is also lowered with H&R Springs, GIAC Software, EVO Mufflers and Tips. If you have any questions on any of these products give us a call.

The pics aren't to bright because they were taken in our warehouse at night. I will try to get some daytime shots this week.

Looks good, but somewhat less good than I would have thought. Maybe I'd like them better in silver. My $.02.

Nice, do you have any pics of those wheels (20s) in silver on a silver 997tt?

I like the center caps, did you do a custom paint job or did HRE provide?

Not a fan of the stripe, but failing that I dig it. I like how the black wheels compliment the unpainted lowers, looks aggressive.

I do think 20's make the brakes looks too small though, especially in back. 19's would be money!

I can't believe I'm reading some negative comments here...

Turbo is great, done with taste, looks fantastic!!!

TREMENDOUS JOB, WELL DONE!!!


Wheels in silver or polish would have been good too, no doubt but this iteration in matte black is also fantastic no argument on that.

"19s... "20s look very good although a tad oversize, they do the effect certainly, my personal choice would be "19s too for many reasons concerning use and conditions such as bad streets or track use...

Tips do look larger than Fab's...

Perfect with the Tuxedo black finish (black out with pinstripe)!
