Finally got the tints on and a clay bar to the PCar!

Well after a whole lotta time, I finally put some clay bar on it and polished it. Still need to detail the wheels. Also, got the tint on. On one of the roads out by the lake. Good place to open up the pipes! Pics from the Iphone so cracking on the photography!

Those wheels look great on the silver car.
OEMs? In what radius?

Yea, they are the 19" Sport Design. I think that is what caught my eye when I bought it. I think the wheels are made for Porsche by BBS. Someone on here would definitely know. Thanks for the compliment!

had those wheels on my last 997. i'm a big fan (esp on silver) but i would recommend against them if you live in a dirty environment because they are tough to clean thoroughly. Recal doesn't seem to have that problem... lucky bastard

I used Solargard. It's 20% on the rear windows and 25% on the front. I've had too many cars with illegal tint, no front tag, etc. Decided to keep this one low stress!

Gorgeous. Love the way the tint blacks out the side glass and makes it one whole visual element. Beautiful car!
