Thanks Anthony! I would love to make the next meet! Are there any other meets later on in the day anywhere in the Southern Cali area?

Strife thank you so much! Now I'm trying to see what else is next on the list...I think it's a sickness!!! HeHe! I might work on the interior of the Porsche for now... I already did the E90 with Silver Carbon interior and it looks pretty nice!

[quote=strife_wy;2322591]redhotmurc333 - Beautiful! Great taste in modifications.

HaHa! Thanks Cpa4s! Yea I was very split on the decision on which one to put the colored wheels on too~

when you can't decide, i guess one answer is to just get two cool cars!
Thanks!

It's all in the details, right?!!

You own two of the cars that I am seriously contemplating moving to another country to buy just one of, and especially your 997 is in the exact trim that I want. Few colors appeal to me as white does at the moment!
But looking at the white really gets the subtle flaming surface remnants of the Bangle design out. As said, nice!

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Thanks again!!!
Wow! You're willing to fly to another country to purchase a 997 huh? Is it due to the foreign currency exchange rate or car availability?

We pay ALOT!
take a journey to http://porsche.dk/article.asp?id=85 -reflect a bit on the prices vs. the prices you pay, and you'll understand! just to ease it up a bit, a 997 911 4S with tiptronic - no extra options mind you - go for 395,728.97$ in today exchange rate. Go figure I have no way near the funds to buy a new 911 in another country, but I will however be able to afford either a chead 996 2S or a nice full optioned E46 M3. In Denmark, a peugeot 206 2nd hand for the money....

...just read your reply again, and I will move to another country, not just pic something up and bring home. Equally expensive, I'll just get taxed!

If I had to pay the prices listed I would not buy the car as much as i love my Porsche . In my opinion there is a point where the cost of a car prices it out of the market .

I also would not move to buy any car. I would move only if I was not happy and sometimes another place may appear very different on a vacation or in a photo than when you live there day to day .

I have never been to Copehagen so I took a little tour on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX2jTAC8uSE

This place looks Awesome !! A great vacation idea .

The reason I'm considering moving is exactly the reason you state towards the cars price - just too much money for a car; regardless of which!
But moving to Sweden and living in Malmö is around 20km more eastwards because of the bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö and the only thing in effect will be the commuting distance. But I will shave around 80% of the cars price if carprices between Denmark and Sweden are compared! That is a lot of motivation for around 20km worth of driving distance!

Thank you very MUCH! Yea I was going to get black powder coated wheels before getting these and then I opted for the oldschool cleaner look over the more aggressive look of the black wheels~
The wheels are WORK Brombacher Reverse lip wheels 19X8.5's up front and 19X11's out back(stayed with the original factory sizing)~ You can get a step lip version in these exact wheels also and looks VERY nice with a tad bit deeper dish but since these are 19's the face looked a bit smaller on the step lip version so I opted for these instead~
Another reason for me getting the reverse lip over the step lip was due to having problems with my previous step lipped wheels getting bent easier over potholes due to the edge of the lip being a bit thinner than the reverse lip wheels~
You can also opt for the 20 inch versions but that's ONLY if you're going for appearance because they look AWESOME BUT the ride and handling will change a bit~ Hope that helps!
