Wait, wait @DaveGee . Are you not personally offended by what this person did to their car?
The Porsche crest on the wheels isn't even pointing at the valve stem for God's sake.

Thanks! Popcorn appropriate for sure lol.
Those and a lanyard hanging from my rear diffuser are on backorder 
All true -- to each their own!
Well said. But to respond, no validation needed. Arguments/debates are welcome. And I couldnt agree more with everything you said 
LOL -- Defintely a bit too low for me with the TE37s! Since then and the new setup, alignment and everythings been dialed out with proper tires.
Its Anthracite Brown Metallic -- Did not become PTS until after MY 2015 I believe.
I hope you didnt mean that to the Guards Red 911
I appreciate the compliments and more importantly common thread of being Porsche enthusiast one way or another. Cheers!
I say do what makes you happy and what brings you joy and not let what others say affect your vision. Everyone is different ( style,taste.....etc ). Everyone with always have an opinion ( good and bad ) and that’s fine they are entitled to have an opinion. But at the end of the day..... we are all here on the forums to help each other and enjoy the beauty of these fine cars. 😊
OP, Sorry, I don’t get the point of your post.
Are you looking for validation or an argument? At the end of the day, no one really gives a shot what you do to YOUR car. Sure, we all have opinions about each others’ mods, and if we’re concerned that someone might not approve, then this probably isn't the best place to brag about what we’ve done.
It’s your car - do what you want. But if you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Beautiful car! Although I don't think I would ever lower my car that much, I love the way your car looks. I prefer the TE's more than the HRE's though, is there a big difference in weight (I imagine the TE's being ligher)?

Here are some rear specs to compare.
20x12 - TE37 Ultra - 23.8lbs
20x11.5 - HRE 300 - 27.x lbs (this is what I have)
Size comparable HRE 300's in 20x12 are about 28.x lbs (offsets/back padding will change this)

Same here, looked fantastic with them... think first Porsche I've seen with them on. And great shots OP, thanks for sharing!
As a 'soon to be' 911 owner, I'll fall in the 'track enthusiast / purist' type. Will keep it mostly stock, exhaust likely, maybe a suspension mod or two once we get acclimated at the track, and definitely an extra set of wheels for some 100-200TW rubber.

On topic: I am as purist as they come (I refuse to even change my orange side marker lights
) but I am glad to see stock cars, heavily modded cars, and everything in between. I think all 911s are cool, and I will notice and watch one from miles away until it fades from view. If it makes you happy, is the main thing.

This is giving me .1 GT3 Touring vibes if they'd made one. Loving your ride.
I need to know what those side skirts are and how they are installed. And which rear diffuser is that? I'd like to do something similar.
The .1 GT3 front bumper is a nice touch. I can't imagine that being easy to install. I wish there is a decent aftermarket lip for the .1 SportDesign bumper just to give it a tad but more aggressive look since I plan to add side skirts and that same rear diffuser in the future.

I like it. The current wheels provide a very complementary contrast to the exterior paint color. "Graige" is extremely "in" at the moment, if what my wife tells me from watching HGTV is true. The lowering is quite a bit by "road" standards, but does not look out of place. I would not want to run this except on more or less well-paved roads, or on speed bumps, that's for sure. The rear lip is not extensive or overdone. The badging is complimentary. I think you did a good job on this, and it looks great.
