New Ride - 2006 Carrera S

Well, I finally made the move to a Porsche after years of BMW's and Audi's. I'm so pleased with my car and I can't wait to take it to the next level. I received it last a week ago Monday and dropped it off that day for some targeted "tweaks" and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I have to give a shot out to:

Jeremy, Justin, and Corey at Matrix Integrated
Skip at Skip's Wheelwerks
Matt Dreese who does the best details in the Northwest
Sunset Porsche

What we've done so far:

H&R Springs & Alignment
Valentine 1 (a must)
Painted the Carrera Sport wheels matte black (sick)
Tubi Exhaust

More to come! I will take more photos this weekend, but here are a few from Matrix.

I added a few more photos with better light!

Nice mods, perfect stance and wheels look great!

Enjoy!

p.s.
Are you using spacers? The wheels look flush with the fenders.

I love the sport combination, the matte black wheels are very unique.

I would love to lower my aero 997 but I already scrape enough as it is. Nice ride!

Thanks Guys

Thank you for the responses. I'm really happy with how it's turned out so far. My big question will be whether or not to paint the front Carrera Cup lip...I like the look of the matte black lip with the wheels, but painted would look great as well...

Thoughts?

Carl

Keep the front lip black it adds a nice contrast and whilst your at it why not paint the Carrera S lettering in matte black as well.

Front lip looks best in black plastic, I'd also add CF mirrors and the GT3 vent for some more contrast.

Great something like the Techart mirror covers.
