Nice! Do you know the offsets? Did you lower the suspension?

50mm Front, 66mm Rear. The car is factory ride height but does have the PASM option.

Looks good. Not alot different from OEM. I've noticed the Goodyear Eagles have a taller sidewall than the Pirelli tire. Fills out the wheel wells better. For whatever reason, Pirellis run narrow and stretched compared to GY and Michelin.

Did you get it on? I'm assuming it involves removing the light bar and tail lights?

Thanks so much for this link! I'm going to install them tomorrow. Super helpful, I always assumed the rear bumper needs to come off, too but this is good to know. It's just been sitting in my room because I haven't gotten around to taking it somewhere to get installed due to the virus. I'm also waiting for Porsche to make a matte finish '911 Carrera S' emblem... weird that they haven't released that option yet.

Mods 3 (clear bra) and 4 (ceramic coat) complete! Really happy with how it turned out, especially the clear bra on the black sunroof and back window borders that I was afraid would immediately scratch. Man, I love this car!

It took me a while to nail it but IMHO the painted sports design spoiler only works if you have matching side skirts. Since I didn't spec (or want) the side skirts, matching the lip to the original side trim to my eye is definitely aesthetically better.
No guides available but it's actually very easy to do. x6 Torx screws to remove and the lower lip just clips off. Re-installation is the reverse. 3M 2080 satin silk is a very close match to the original plastic trim:

Any issues taking off the model/emblem? Thinking about doing this as well, any tricks or does it just come off rather easy?

^ this. I also drove the thing for 20 minutes to get the rear bumper nice and hot. My heat gun died recently.
