"find one car that you can be happy with and stick with it."

So on the same page with the 964. After 450hp Golf Rs, HPA R32s, 335is, ended up with 964. Something about them not replaceable in any other way.

How well does it do on the street being so low and having no mufflers?

I don't know why but I'm kinda partial to the flag mirrors.

With the AH coilovers, ride quality and handling are as they should be in a Porsche... even at this height.

The exhaust is loud, but sounds damn good IMO. To my surpise, with the windows up and radio on it's barely even noticeable.

I had the fabspeed deletes on my 996 for a bit and the drone was nearly unbearable on the highway, windows down or not.

This is infinitely better.

Here's a short video a buddy of mine made that has quite a few rolling clips:

the fiberboard on the RS door cards has punch outs for the lower speaker location so I installed some 6.5" 2 way coaxials and hid them behind the leather which seems to work fine. Functional and minimalist.

I like low, but I cant imagine how it would be enjoyable to drive it having to worry about even the tiniest bump in the road. The car really looks great though!

Looking real good. I am 43 so slammed anything is not my personal taste. I did put in Bilsteins/H&R's a few years ago so I'm lower than US stock. Let us know how the bottom of your car fares after a few months.
