Like a sheet of glass

I had my car detailed and it's hard to imagine that it's 7 years old . I rarely post here because I barely drive the car . Most of my driving is either in the Macan Turbo or Boxster S but I looked at this car today all shiny and i still love it !!!

I didn't even drive it before taking the photo with my i phone . I didn't want to risk dust getting on it.

PS. For those who followed me on the various suspension threads .. I did get the kinks worked out of my KW noselift .

Simply stunning...to do the pictures justice (for what is undoubtedly an awesome detail job), I suggest true outdoor shots with a proper lens!

Wow that looks awesome. Black is the best color for these cars when washed/maintained.

I never get tired of looking at clean 911s. Great looking car. It almost makes me want to strip my wheels and clear coat them

Looking good Larry! Glad you resolved the KW (post Bilstein!) issues! I think I'm going to stay away from the aftermarket suspensions. The .2 has much better road manners than the .1. Good to see you back on the board.

I don't even know . I simply hand him the keys and wait a day or two for each of my cars . He is well known locally for his talent . I have seen him take an old car and make it look like it was just delivered new . He's that good .

It's the non metallic black.

I have two other Porsches ( a 15 Macan Turbo and a 13 Boxster S) . I have also had a few 997S cars and almost bought a 991S so i have been here a number of years . I have just been spending a lot of time over on a macan forum as I have this new car that I find very intersting .

In short I have read and posted just not too much in the 997 turbo section lately . Years ago i was here every day .

Interior has rennline pedals. Aluminum OEM shifter and handbrake . Techart non logo steering wheel. OEM "Turbo" inscribed compartment lid.
