You have great taste!

I wasn't sure I would like the Sportdesign wheels at first but now they have really grown on me.

Nice ride. Yeah, very similar. I had the same thought on the wheels but you're right.... they grow on you. They really show off the brake calipers.

The more aggressive front bumper lower lip you have comes on the cars with SPASM as well. It's just a replaceable piece incase it gets damaged, but that style comes on SPASM equipped 991's.

The cooler looking lip is more aerodynamic and makes the car go faster! : )

Watch out for parking blocks!

Also when slowing down turning into entrances, people behind you may think you're making a quicker turn than you're planning. Possible rear end risk. Most driveways aren't an issue for your height. That lower piece is pretty cheap if/when it does get scraped up.

Thanks.... yeah I saw it's only like 200 bucks. Will probably be replacing once a year.

You're right about turning into entrances. Everyone thinks the fast car is always going fast.

I have not had to replace my Sport PASM front lip in the 2.5 years and 25k miles that I have had it.

PS- The thing people can't see is the better steering feel and overall handling that comes from the shorter stiffer springs and heavier anti-roll bar.

Definitely a no brainier and surprisingly affordable coming from Porsche!
