Congrats, they look really great.

And thanks for the good clean thread. "Ordered these, they came in, here they are"

The center caps might be drawing undue attention, but that is a tiny thing.

Does anyone know if you can order the Weissach package wheels for the 991.2 GT3? If so, what is the cost? They are $43k for 918 Spyder, but the entire Weissach package is $30k for the GT2 RS. Thx

Thanks. I went with the red centers to mix it up and to accent the brakes. I've been debating getting plain centers with porsche crests. Brixton has posted some photos on instagram with AMG stamped centers so I know they could do it.

The wheels are super light and my guys at Trophy Performance said the wheels seemed to be if very high quality.

i recommend Brixton Forged to anyone looking at others like HRE but want something a little different.

i went with red center caps to accent my calipers and red marine corps veteran plate but I may have them do a Porsche crest later on. We'll see.




Looks niiiiiice! Is that a after market rear wing spoiler? If so, where can I get one, if you don't mind?

thanks everyone. The car has the vorsteiner carbon kit purchased through Eric at supreme power. Great guy. He is also a vendor for Brixton Forged.

the car is lowered on techart springs.

I hope the the community doesn't mind a few more pics from a Sunday drive. By the way, the 991 can work for a baby 😂

how's quality of the spoiler? I've seen a few that the right side of the spoiler is higher than left side.

Car looks fantastic. Love to see someone put their own touches on a car. What year and model is the 911?

I received one that didn't sit quite flush and the right side was slightly higher.

i sent a photo of it to Eric at Supreme Power and he escalated the matter who within the hour sent a replacement. The new one sits perfectly.

The car is a 2016 C4S.

Pics look great. What sort of enhancements are you using to make the blue sky and those shoes pop so much.

Lol. In the iPhone photo app there's an edit function. Turn down highlights and turn up contrast and it'll do it. Don't go too far though the photo will look like a cartoon if you do.

Car looks great! The shine and reflections in your photos are amazing, any special film/surface treatment?
