I like the wheels, what are they? You'll attract a lot of attention with your car. Welcome to the forum.

Right , meant F and R in reverse , hard to type on a Galaxy phone ,,
As for 295 tires ,, wonder why previous owner had a set of Continental 285s in the rear.
We have three major tracs plus official F1 circut. Appx. 12,500 Porsches of all sorts, in Korea so it's pretty rare ,, A new TT will set you back USD 250,000 here also the maintenance cost is crazy so people tend to stay away, from exotics.
For the street driving ,, would 285s in the rear be a major problem?
Current tire setting;
Front 235 x 35 x 19 36 psi
Rear 285 x 30 x 19 44 psi

Thank you ,,
Heard many bad things about Wicked ,, their quality ,, management scruples ,, salvage cars etc.
But I am satisfied, with the quality,, how well made in detail,, all the wiremeshes to protect every openings,, even the front fender spoiler is made of metal. Fenders also in metal,, Who ever did the body work, in Korea did an outstanding job. No looses ends,, shakes. As Dave Carrera mentioned,, certainly an eye catcher. I was told that the PO has spent over USD 40,000 on the revision. Don't matter,,, I guess when you sell ,, its still a 996. Good for me.

This is my VIN,, which I pulled off onine.
The car has been sold and maintained by Porsche Korea, for the last 10 years.

well, the reason i am heavily leaning toward moving forward with my gt front conversion similar to yours is because we have another SoCal mfg'r named precision porsche ( or precision911 name change? ) and their stuff is first rate..they have the same front piece with the drls! it will with my led tails freshen up the "look" in the way i want, as it's never going back to stock! lol

but yours looks ( sorry ) wicked enjoy!
