The pictures are taken in Taiwan. Japan has left hand cars as well but they are mostly imported by individuals. By law they do not require you to have right hand driver cars. But sometimes it could get inconvenient with drive throughs and certain tolls if you know what I mean...

Love your car, especially the wider rear...

Do you mind posting a picture of the front of your car with the clear side marker? That was the first thing I was going to do but not sure how it will look on a black. Silver looks like it fit right in. Thanks.

Beautiful car as you can tell I like black as well. I am new to the site as well and picked up my 2006 997 S2 a couple of weeks ago black/black. Love it and I am learning a ton of info on this site!

Congrats on the new car, new toys are fun.

Noticed that the wheels are different on the pics, did you have them swapped out? which did you keep eventually?
