Wheels look meaty, very nice.

Can't wait to hear more about the Autoflexing and Miami blue is a real head turner. When will this happen?

Hopefully I have everything completed by end of June. I could document it here if there is interested. I will be spraying the car myself.

I think the Porsche world has come full circle. I'm going to say that "anything" goes but people are certainly more accepting of modifying these cars now - especially if it's somewhat motorsport inspired.

I couldn't imagine keeping any of my weekend cars stock. No car manufacturer has ever built a car I loved everything about to keep it stock.

I can't keep anything stock! We bought nice mountain bikes for the whole family to hit our local trails and my wife was laughing when 5 boxes showed up with various bike parts. She's like "you just can't help yourself can you?" ... "babe, feel how light my new handlebars are... and the pedals match the new carbon seat post!!!"

Wow! Beer and bikes... awesome concept man! Yes, I'm definitely *that* customer. Everything is super cheap on a bike after you've been modding a bunch of Porsches.
If I ever make it up 85 with the bikes I'll hit you up before we stop in. Very cool!!

Back to Mr. Wolfe's cool new wheels

GUILTY! lol It doesn't help that the 2 cars I am most into (911's and M3's) have an absolute HUGE aftermarket support line of products.

No joke. Any and everything.

I bought a drilled out 917 type key blank yesterday and as I'm paying, I'm thinking "$40 key blank? What's wrong with you?!?"

Oh yes and it is a slippery slope. I remember back in the 90's buying my first Honda and thinking, "wow, these import cars are much more expensive to mod than American cars". Then went to Lexus and another jump in price, then BMW, now Porsche. Ugh, Porsche makes all the other car parts seem downright cheap!

LOL, that initial shock always sucks. Next jump is to Ferrari, I’ve heard the parts cost is ridiculous on them.

Wait, you're painting your car Miami blue?
Or Am I lost?
