Default Help me style my 991CS to a bolder GTS look

Hi everyone,

This summer I purchased a 2014 991 991CS, and I'm looking for inspiration for how to turn it into more bold looking (maybe GTS like?)

Before



After








Parts changed
- Black Gloss Carrera S wheels
- Black rear emblems
- Sports Design Wheel in Alcantara
- Alcantara A pillars


My ask: What would you change next and why?

Slap on some H&R Springs or Coilovers, add an x51 powerkit, and call it good!

Add tinted taillights.

Also, the X51 Powerkit!!!

(I personally would have preferred the original Carrera Classics over the black S wheels, but I see what look you are going for...)

Lower it to GTS height and add 5mm wheel spacers (with a proper alignment) and you have a stance and handling upgrade that will approach GTS looks, feel and performance.

I had a similar goal for my C4S. I used techart springs, vorsteiner carbon, Brixton forged wheels, and Michelin pilot sport 4S. It actually turned out pretty good.

This. I believe the PASM Sport springs are what the GTS uses. Maybe use 7-8mm spacers.

Looks fantastic. Have you thought of buying the black headlights?

Thanks! I considered it but the cost is quite high. The headlights on the car are the grey ones PDLS+. They match the grey theme of the car well enough.

if I had the standard chrome headlights I might be more motivated to change them...

On my list for the car:
DSC module
maybe cobb
maybe IPD plenum
maybe full exhaust upgrade but the PSE is good enough for me for sound.

i think the NA cars benefit more from handling and appearance upgrades. I also own a 1982 911 and I hardly feel like the 991.1 needs more power.

Sports mirros are on the list, but so damn expensive to get replaced :/

Good idea with vinyl!

On the list! Looking for a locale shop who can paint instead of replacing.
