Okay, we finished the photoshoot of the 9ff 997tt with the front lip, rearspoiler and 535HP (stage I) kit installed.
I'm still waiting on post-processed pics from the media dept.
I know...this post is worthless...

Excellence's drove the 535HP version and was very impressed (of course).
Anyhow, the following pieces are in production and should be US bound in 3-4weeks.
-Exhaust
-Stage I/II
-Front Lip
-rear spoiler
Here's some pics from the photoshoot last week.

A 15 second MS Paint PS to help help explain my thinking visually:
Wouldn't this simple design change help? Reduce material = reduce weight. Increase ventilation = increase brake cooling. The only downside to "my wheel design" is the increased turbulence, I guess. But simple design change is just to extend the spokes and reduce the inner "hub". It wouldn't change the strength at all I think, and shouldn't change the "mass distribution" since no weight is being added, anywhere. Only advantage for the ugly wheels is the minimal high speed aerodynamics.
Thoughts?
BTW, GT 350, we also collect some old cars including 4 1955-1957 T-Birds.

honestly though, now they look like 98% of the wheels out there!
The new 9ff disc wheels aren't for everyone...but the people who DO like them - really like them. They may be the minority - but thats the niche they cater to (hyper performance, top speed).
9ff knows this. Want a big wing or a loud bumper? Talk to TA. Want a big AND loud bumper/wing? call up Gemballa. Want to go really fast and look pretty stock doing it? dial 9-f-f.
p.s. what do we get for a 60 sec photoshop??
