Talking Just got my Guards Red 997 Cab

Just leased a 997 C2 Cab in guards red with black interior. Never though I would get a red car, but as soon my eyes landed on the Guards Red cab sitting in the showroom, I knew I had to have it.

Havn't driven it much yet. This is my second porsche and I couldnt be happier, my first was a Cayenne S, lease is up April 8th, so Im enjoying my last week with it.

I already headed down to Chemical Guys in Inglewood this weekend and bought a bunch of detailing stuff. I was going to go with the Klasse combo, but I had heard many good things about CG, so I wanted to give them a try. They actually told not to clay or polish the new paint, as it is not neccessary, but my gut feeling is telling me to clay it and polish with Klasse AIO, before I put the coat of CG M-Seal sealant and top it off with CG 50/50 wax. What do you guys think?

I made the dealer throw in the clear side markers, so the first mod I want to do is to paint the calipers red to match the car. Anyone have suggestions as to where in LA I might be able to have them done?

I snapped a few quick pictures in the garage, as it was dark outside. Hopefully Ill get some better pictures soon. Cant wait to get this baby out!

Confabulastic! I like the standard exhaust pipes of the base Carreras more and more.

Quick question for ya: when you lease a car what are the limits you can mod it? Can you slap on a super charger for example?

I've never leased a car yet.

I honestly am not sure... the only mod I had on my Cayenne was a drop, I did not even bother to put it back to stop before giving it back.

I guess the more mods you put on, the higher the value of the car goes... dont see why they would mind.
