Default Poser modifications ahead

OK - Spent the afternoon, waxing the car and wanted to get a few shots of my work in the afternoon sun. I learned that if you want to get a pic of the car in its absolute best, you gotta do right after detail. If you wait a week, your done.

Oh - almost forgot - my 2 poser mods - red "baby" lobster claws and clear corners. Come on! Lemme see your poser mods! This is kinda like the poser vs. posuer follow-on thread.

I've made 4 "mods" to my car...all of them pose or vanity mods.

1. Porsche colour crested wheel centres to replace the standard 4S ones. They look better with the yellow bodywork.
2. Porsche tyre valve covers - the aluminium (?) type ones with the Porsche crest on the top.
3. Carrera 4S door sill covers in brushed stainless....genuine Porsche ones bought off Ebay.
4. Personalised "vanity" licence plate - C4S911. All other permutations had already been taken.

Yeah, i guess that makes me a poser.....but I still made the top 6 in our last Driver Training slalom test (out of 32 cars) Got beat by a Cayman, GT3, race prepared 3.2 and 964. Best of all I beat my boss in his 996 Cab.

Lobster claws are the ugly 997 19" wheels. I think you're referring to your "little reds"

Nice pics TJ. I like the look of a lowered NB with the factory cup wheels. Good looking car.
