Nothing. Street speeds don't utilize the aero. Mechanical (tire) grip is a plenty.

It's also interesting that we have Italian parts on our cars...
What colour for your HRE's? Flat black?

No, I do not do blk wheels unless there is a brushed type lip. I'm old school I guess, they are brushed/clear..

I have one car with black wheels, my wife's Cayenne, she loves them and I don't have to drive it..

They will be here tomorrow.

Good call! UV with black wheels and doesn't look nearly as good IMHO. I hadn't thought about dong the uprights black and would appreciate a pic when you have done them black as I may do the same.

Did your Porsche dealer lower the car and make the suspension/camber adjustments? Lastly, do you have front axle lift?

Thanks!

I lowered it myself. I will have it aligned by my guy and yes, I do have front lift.

Thanks!

Great plates!
I ordered mine too. I almost did green, but was worried it would clash with the signal green color of the car. Your purple matches great! Maybe I should have had the guts to do green.

Congrats on the RS SW! Jess has mentioned you several times and that we should meet up on one of my Austin trips. I have purchased several M cars from Jess and recently picked up a new GT3. I'll send a PM on my next trip to Austin. Love the collection. Enjoy in good health!

Looking good! I had no idea that you could order your plate in custom colors. Very cool.

Uprights in black look great! I'm going the same route when mine arrives. What tools are needed to lower suspension?
