New to me 997.2

Got it and put on some touches of my own to make it more "me"

Rotiform LHR 19x9.5 and 19x12.5 with some Toyo Proxes1

H&R Sport Springs for now

Getty Design ducktail

Thank to the guys at Supremepowerparts.com for hooking it up.

My awesome wife for actually finding this gem, and urging me to get it

Thanks to #itsjustbrian for the insane photography.

Which H&R springs are those? Do you scrape often?

Congratulations on the purchase and Wow! Beautiful purchase and the photos just bring out its elegance! It's always a plus to have a wife supporting your automotive passions. Really loving those wheels. If you have any questions or need any assistance with your new Pcar that you can't find in our tech articles here, please don't hesitate to ask. I also see in your signature that you have a bagged Allroad. Can you post some pictures? I would love to see it.

You have nice taste! IMO, all she needs is the aerobat or GT3 front bumper spoiler to balance out the aggressive height, wheels & rear. I thought the getty tail was discontinued? Did you order directly from them?

Was that a sticker I saw on your quarter window?

They're the sports, no scraping what so ever.

Yes, she's a total car girl too so she's fully into it, we have 5 kids and she cruises around in a bagged Toyota Sienna. Coolest soccer mom in our area LOL. I'll post some pics or send you links to my Allroad.

LOL wheel cleaning is NOT fun, that's why I have my kids to help they have tiny fingers

Yes totally agree, we were originally going for the GT3 Cup front bumper, but found that you HAVE to install the over fenders and I wasn't ready to cut fenders to do that so we nixed that idea. I'm looking to do a GT3 or Aero front bumper to balance it out.

Looks fantastic! I don't like most aftermarket wheels on 911's for some reason, but those look great! Pics of Sienna minivan please

Looks nice, love the ducktail, sits very nice in springs. Those wheels make my fingers hurt, they look like a lot of work to keep clean. Keep the window sun tinted....

Yes the fingers do hurt LOL.

I want to keep the fish bowl look, so may go the expensive route with 3M krystaline tinting.
