Thanks for all the positive comments guys and gals. Yes they do look like the fronts could come out toward the fender a bit more, but in person it's not as obvious. I plan on doing the suspension next year and I may go for 1" lowering springs in the front so the extra clearance now might come in handy.

Williamr91: My rear light bar came with the car. They are not stock, but a kit you can buy. I was going to take it off, but the PO drilled a bunch of holes underneath it so I have just left it for now. I do get lots of good comments (by non Porsche people!) at night when the lights are on though.

Fergus: What wheels did you settle on? I heard you passed on these ones. Thank you!

looks very good...love the paint color too

What width the fronts? Looks like you could use a 245/35 on the front.

Great looking wheels. I am thinking of buying a set of Veloce 3.6 rims for my 964. How difficult was it to re-paint the centers? Did you have to take them apart?

Mike, do you have room for a little more spacer at the front without rubbing? I think that would fill the front fenders out a little more.

+951 on a set of quality set of spacers for the fronts - 4mm spacers would do nicely.

After trying a couple different spacers I have now ordered a custom set of adapters from Adaptec and they are on their way now. I will post some pics once installed. Yes, I did go with a wider spacer at the front so it should fill out the fender well better.

Might be offtopic, but how do you like the Stebro Exhaust system?

Spacers came today, now just waiting for my new rear tires to arrive, get them mounted and then I'll post some new pics.

Medski: I like the Stebro exhaust. Got it from Stebro in Ottawa. It is only 2.5" not 3", but I did notice a difference after removing the stock muffler. It is really quiet as well, but with a nice European raspiness to it. I am installing a test pipe, rebuilt 26/8, and A-tune this winter so I should see a nice increase come spring. I have heard a 944S with the Stebro and it sounded great. Louder than my turbo of course, but I hope removing the cat will allow for some extra sound without being too loud for highway cruising.
