The Official Midnight Blue 997 Picture Thread
I hear ya- so basically you are saying you need a few more months to re-approach the subject of modifiying the pcar and actually be able to get away with it.. LOL

Just put on some H&R springs, car won't be much lower just enough to get rind of that extra gap- Still perfectly fine for DD and ride is still cushy. As you can see on mine, it all looks factory but just a bit more integrated / sporty.
If you buy wheels, the fender gap is really going to gnaw at you.. it looks 2x as bad with nice aftermarket wheels. You could buy my 19" Imolas for $500, get some H&R's for $250 on ebay, install/align for $400, and be all set for under $1200. Spacers are not needed with the Imolas, they come out perfectly. how's that?

As you say I have to ease into this....It doesn't help that the founder of VF Engineering lives 3 doors down, Nick - he would love for me to get that Supercharger, but then again HE KNOWS my wife.

If you told me when I was single that I would have to get consensus on decisions like this, I would have told you you were nuts, but after a few Kids- the "leverage" changes....
Oh man, I bet that is tough because I'm sure you'd get a "good neighbor" deal on that SC!!
Life is about tradeoffs- so yeah you gave up a bit of unilateral desicion making but the tradeoff is you have a family and more to show out of life. ...and you STILL own a pcar
overall, can't complain eh?
