what do you guys think?
It's nice. Ultimately it's "whatever floats your boat."
I kept the whole thing on mine for a "factory" unadulterated appearance...

Thx for the compliment--It's Dark Blue Metallic-- one of those colors that loves to show differently in various levels of light
I just couldn't find that damn snow brush--so built a small fire in the intake--
Actually I took the pic through my window which was reflecting the fireplace on the opposite wall--

Looks better, seems Porsche wants a paragraph on the back of the cars these days. GTS is enough, people know it is a Porsche, or if they don't it doesn't matter !~)

That's cool, it already says GTS twice on the sides.

The GTSs look great in black. With the spoiler deployed the Black looks super because of the black that gets exposed when it is up.

One thing I noticed more from this thread is how the black GTSs with black wheels often look like they are riding higher than they are really are, even with spasm. Because of the way the wheels sort of blend with the lip of the fender, it makes the gap look larger at some angles or lighting conditions. So much so, that I had to triple check that my build sheet had spasm which it does!

Your car looks like a non-spasm build to me. My build sheet specified alcantara wheel and shifter; they were leather until I argued with the dealer!
The top of your tires are visible, I never get a view of mine.
