the speed yellow color, polished 3-piece wheels, x-drilled rotors, and big red brakes is absolute sex appeal.

Thanks for the kind words, I also had the 5/33 porportioning valve from a 928 put in to give a little more rear brake bias-it pulls up flatter now, not so much nose diving on heavy braking.

Yowzers, thats awesome...

Fantastic looking Damian!!

Can I ask where you got your centercaps? And are they metal all the way around, or do they attach with a few plastic clips in the rear?
The ones I have (all metal w/ a ring w/ 3 prongs barely seem to fit in my supercups, it takes some serious effort and I cant say I like it.)

Sam, I bought them from Wheel Enhancement-along with the wheels and tires. They're not metal, and just snap in, just like regular caps. I thought for a nanosecond about those Boothe no spin caps, but thought it would be over the top and ricey. Someone wanted me to go speed yellow centers and caps, but I couldn't pull the trigger. Then the next month's article had a 993RS with such a set up and it looked great . . . Kinesis would've done the paint job for a couple hundred dollars more.
