Congrats! I think the GTS is a great spec The red stripe on the wheels is different. I may have preferred all black, but it doesn't look bad.

Porsche sports cars look really good in white. Very nice looking GTS! Now get to work on fixing the low mileage problem and enjoy your permagrin!

Congrats! Love my race headers / pro tune, great bang for the buck, reversible, not too loud with PSE closed and positively rips when open.

I think the red stripe looks great with the red calipers with the white back ground : )
Car looks awesome.
Enjoy in good health.

Nice - Are you getting a custom tune from COBB to reflect the intake and exhaust mods?

Going to have either Champion Motorsport or another local speed shop here in SFL do the work. Just looking for the power band to hit earlier in the RPM range, and would be great to squeeze out another 25 to 40 hp in the process. Champion did a great job in similar setup(ECU, TB, IPD, Tubi, Air Box) on my 997.
