Default New to 991 forum, Beezztie's 991.1 Carrera S

I have been a member of rennlist for several years, moving from one forum to the other as I changed 911's. Today I picked up my 7th (no, do not have 7 now, besides this one a 3.2 carrera presently), a '12 991.1 Carrera S. PDK, SportDesign front bumper, electric sports seats with memory, sport chrono plus, PSE panorama sunroof and then some Not able to take good pictures so far but here are the first two. Love the car, came from a 997.2 CS , also with PDK which was great fun but compared to the 991 I find the road balance better, less noisy (by means of tire noise most of all) and PDK is less "rough". Do not plan to make a lot of changes but on my shortlist are DSC V3 controller and sports cats, maybe the Apple CarPlay mod.

Fiddled about some more, besides the tinted tail lights and black side indicators I added:
-wrapped the rear reflectors with tinted foil;
-wrapped the front indicators / daytime running lights with tinted foil;
-dark (metallic black) headlight rings (from KI);
-black PORSCHE script at the rear end;
-911 Carrera S script on the doors

Quite happy with the result. Don't mind the exhaust, sent the end tips off to have them coated in a black ceramic coating.
