Here are more pics from the photoshoot last weekend...I'll post some pics of the car with CSL trunk later today.

Rolling shot.


One more rolling one.






Enjoy. Also, a big thanks to Suspence. You have a serious talent man, keep it up and I can't wait until the next shoot.

Okay here are some pics with the CSL trunk installed. You can see the difference in picture quality between me and Suspence's photography (looks like it's time for another photoshoot I guess...)

Thank you very much...we paint them here at my shop: Chapparone Auto Body & Painting (www.chapparoneautobody.com)

It is quite a process for the three piece wheels but we are able to do any color combo imaginable.

Thanks man and congrats on your new acquisition...please let me know how you would compare the two cars after driving the M3 for a while. The reason I ask is I'm thinking my next car will either be a 996 Turbo or 977 Carrera S.

You sound like me with the mods haha...stuff was in transit or already here before I had the car haha.

PM me on the suspension, my car is a DD and the PSS9's have been great so far.

Wow, I really like it! The mods are a nice balance between aggressive and clean. I can't really think of anything I'd do differently.
