Do these front rotors look normal? I'm looking at a GTS online both fronts look like they have grooving? I can't tell if its reflection or not and haven't seen it in person. The rear rotors were replaced at 20k and the car has 33k on it now.

Thank you!

Guys, I need some help... I have a debadged my 991.1 GTS, and now I have ordered a 2 line badge (Porsche + 911 Carrera GTS), but my stealership has no template for the 2 line badge.. Noone in Europe wants to sell the template, and ordering the template from Suncoast from the US will set me back by about 900 USD (template + holder + shipping)... So I need some help. Can someone help me with the 4 measurements?

As a fyi: A is from the top of the badge to the body edge and not the edge of the black strip.

Late reply-- mine is a PDK (I was actually never a fan of the manual in the non GT cars). The 4.5L conversion is hands down the best purchase ever. The difference in torque is like moving to a turbo car... but with the super engaging NA linear power curve. You'll be putting down more power at the wheels at all RPMs than a GT3 or even GT3RS does at the crank. The change in sound is also very welcome-- the 991.1 GTS already had the best NA engine in a carrera and the Deman conversion turns it into what sounds like an 911 RSR engine.

It honestly makes a 458 speciale feel rather timid in comparison.

Yes, there seems to be a lip on the outer edge of the disk so I would probably have them replaced. you can also see grooves as you mentioned.

I think he may be asking about those specific wheels, not CL in general
