Here are a couple more pictures. I still need to clean it up (detail) so no glamor shots yet. Also need to get some front bumper plugs.
The weather gods must be mad at me. I grabbed the key and went outside to go for a ride. Once outside I noticed dark clouds and a slight mist in the air. I ran inside, checked the radar, and saw that a popup thunder storm was about to hit. Ran back outside quickly and got the car in the garage before it started to rain. Damn, couldn't take it out today...

The stance looks really right on your car...would be interested to know what the suspension upgrade turns out to be. Also looks like those wheels have spacers or are a bit wider than stock given how they look more pushed out to the fender edges.

One thing I've found out is that it's very hard to NOT draw attention while in this car.
I had to drop it off early in the morning to get it inspected and every kid at every bus stop was looking and pointing. When I picked the car up from my mechanic that afternoon, before I could get out of the parking lot a kid (well, early 20's) ran up and asked if he could take a picture. He took several angles and had a big grin. If I didn't have my son with me, I would have offered to take him for a quick ride. This was just after a quick rain (dirty car grrrr) and I didn't even have the top down. I goosed it a little as we left....
I have my son with me because he needs to get to football practice. My plan was to get the car, drive home and then drive the Durango to football. I brought his equipment just in case. Well, we hit rush and there was no way to trade cars in time. So we roll in about 3 mins late which means everyone is there and already on the field. I try to sneak in, but that is of course impossible. My son is grinning from ear to ear. I know most everyone there, but I met a couple people I didn't know.
When we left, my son asked if we could drop the top. I said screw it, dropped the top, turned on the heat, and took him for a spirited drive home.
Coming from a humble up bringing, I'm almost embarrassed to be driving this car. Almost... I will need to get used to the attention it gets though.

Looks super nice.
They're great pics.
Bumper plugs for the front. There is a sponsor that can provide some of those to clean that up, if you are not going to have a front plate. Isn't expensive.
Rear pipes. A bit of metal polish can make those look stunning too for a couple of bucks.

Beautiful car, congrats. As great as it is owning a Porsche, it is even better having one to share with your son. My oldest son went on the road trip to drive mine home and has now done two auto crosses with me. It is fun to share the passion with your kids. Enjoy every minute of it.
