I wanted the RS Spyder wheels but my new 992 came with the "Turbo" with machined front surfaces. I started playing with them in Photoshop and really liked them in black so had them done.

It's nice having something a bit different than the next P, but I guess most Targa drivers are like that.
They look great.

Looks great. Where do it get the center caps?

The center caps were from the “turbo” wheels, but the guys masked them and painted with the same satin black as the wheels. Looks stock, which is what I was going for.

She is such a beauty and so fun to drive. After getting out of canyon (without any speeding ticket) we both had to stop and take some break for a snack. The rest of the drive we were just giggling.

Manual transmission is so good. Not sure why there is 7th gear as I never had to go past 6th.



Sounds like a great trip. Any issues with rock chips this time of year? Or do you have PPF?

Luckily no chips. I have not done PPF or Ceramic coating. Not sure I care about the PPF as I'll drive this car as much as I can and it will get chipped one way or the other. Might do ceramic coating though...

I to wipe her down after every drive or heavy rain
