How many miles did you log on the 13?
Looks like it was an 03 996 he came from. I can't imagine how much of an upgrade the 991 feels like, they are such a well rounded car and I think the base models are really underappreciated. Anywho, congrats, white looks great on any 911 IMO!

Sorry I havent been checking the forum much (waiting on baby #2!). To answer your question I spent less than $200 on the lip from suncoast parts and I bought OEM Paint along with some primer and gloss from autozone. Looks pretty good. I've already had to strip it down and repaint it though since I'm still getting used to how low the front end is (scraped it like crazy after 2 weeks)... haha... This time I wrapped it with PPF hoping it will protect it some more. Less than $250 all in with Lip, paint, primer, and clearcoat. I think its worth it, really completes the front end.

yep definitely a 2003 to this 2014. The manual to PDK switch was my commute along with leg issues from being drilled by a drunk driver while on my motorcycle a year ago.

Hello from another 2014 C4 owner. Love the 20" rims your car came with. The 20"s in black for the winter are also nice to change up the look.

Thank you, I'm not a huge fan of the 20's that came on the car (I prefer the 20" Carrera s wheels) but Ill powdercoat these and see how they look. The winter set up is Porsche's 19" winter package. I just plastidipped them black. Call me crazy but I actually prefer the ride and performance of the car with the 19" wheels...

ive been getting a lot of responses to this idea... I think it’ll be a must when the weather gets a little better. I will for sure reach out to you and figure something out! Cheers!

Haha thanks! First one to comment on my screen name! Been a Valentino fan since day one! Reports are that he is loving the new M1 chassis and that he’s very quick!

Hey MotoGp,
My wife and I are huge MotoGp Rossi fans! We go to Italy each year to visit a relative, while there we try to take in a MotoGp event. We've been lucky enough to see the races
in Muggello in 2014 and 15, Le Mans in 2016 and San Marino last year. Unfortunately we didn't get to see Rossi race at Misano because of the broken leg.

We've decided to pass on a European race this year a go to Austin instead.

You are right about the new M1, he does seem to like it a lot. We'll see how he does in Buriram this weekend. Hopefully he can get number ten this year!
