You need some wheels now! I think "Anthracite" (color like a textured charcoal grey) would be great on your car! The contrast would be stunning! Now that it's lowered, get those offsets to get your back wheels out a bit.

Let's get together at Cars and Coffee next Saturday!
PM sent. That's a bummer with the ticket. I alway feel my mufflers are too civilize. I have the Fabspeed Xpipe only. Glad I didn't do the cats. But sure would want the growl though. Yep. Wheels are next but have to wait to see how much I have to fork out for Uncle Sam. I like the deep dish look. Am not familiar with "Anthracite". You have pics??
C&C sounds good. Irvine, maybe. May have to wait til the springs settle and re-align b4 tackling a long drive.

Sweet! Looks really nice, and the wing looks like it fit very nicely. I dropped my car with H&R springs also, right after the body work was done.

Quick question about the rear bumper - is it fiberglass or polyurethane?

How about the front spoiler / lip - fiberglass or polyurethane? [ETA: oops, nevermind, I saw you got a FVD lip - it's "fiber-flex" - wonder what that means...]

I really like how the rear bumper looks. I'm tempted to get a front spoiler lip but i already scrape without one ...

Thank you sir.
Do it!! Let me just say that my wife was impressed on how it looks and she is the type that is hard to impress. Lucky me, right.
One of the thing that made me waited was not able to see the final product before I pull the trigger so if you want to see the car up close and personal, I'd be happy to meet up for that.

Rear bumper is fiberglass. To give you some numbers to compare, on my car with the lip and dropped, there is about 4 5/8" ground clearance (measured with tape measure). Measured at the front of the wheel well arc.

Thanks Slick, I might take you up on that. I gotta deal with Uncle Sam first though. Everybody always wants money

No problem. Just let me know. Chris did such a good job I am happy to use my car for "show & tell". Forgot to mention that the FVD lip was damaged during shipping ( thanks to good 'o UPS) but Chris repaired it and I couldn't tell where the damage was after he was finished with paint. If you decide to go forward with it, IMO Chris is the way to go for Fitment and paint. I believe you would agree if you see his work on my car.

Haha. I think that will come sooner than later. I already de-virgin my front lip going up my driveway today.

Chris painted and installed the front bumper too. I am installing the clear bra and maybe carbon vinyl frunk on Wednesday!

Good question. You may want to contact Tony of precisionporsche.com to verify but I am pretty sure he has the wb bumper too. The wing is integrated with the decklid so your reflector would stay on the oem decklid. I believe MAshaw has a type of wing that bolts onto the oem decklid. You basically swap out the wing only, not the deck. If you are aiming to keep the center reflector then this may be the way to go. Btw, I am a fan of the center reflector.
