I agree with a couple of others that it is a bit low for my taste. But, the more I look at it the more I like it. Nice work.

I agree with what the poster from Meh-HEE-koh said, too low to be practical. We're in Northern California where we have V-shaped cuts here & there to channel rainfall (when we get it) to culverts, which can be hard on front ends even when slowing down to 5 mph. My wife has already been to her favorite body shop twice to have the rubber air dam reinstalled; fortunately they've done it for free since we've had work done on our other cars.

Beautiful, now please put some spacers to bring out the wheels a bit so they are flush!

It's low, but tastefully done (in my opinion). I like it. And for a 10 year old car... wow, super clean. Where in VA are you?

More flush than this? It looks exactly flush to me. Any more and it'd be too much poke.

Somehow a 911 just doesn't work slammed. Not to mention taking a great handling car and adding SMALLER tires because the car is slammed just seems contrary to everything a 911 is about.
Car looks very clean, I'll give you that!

Uh?
Comparing the OP's car with track cars? The race cars are not as low! I suppose one could easily understand that the pics reflect the cars with fully compressed suspensions under hard cornering.

Are these cars running narrower tires under their flared fenders??? I doubt it. Why else would they use widened bodywork?

You said a 911 doesn't "work" slammed.
