Shellback,
The bra is an OEM item. I drove the car back home over 2000 miles, so I needed something to help protect the front end, hence all the bugs in the first day of driving.
The Carrera III wheels are acutally 997 wheels.

Beautiful car, and congrats. You can't go wrong with any of those wheels, IMO.

I kept the OZ wheels and the OEM technology hollow turbo twists.
Thanks,

Very nice, especially the shiny paint and heated seats. I'm not feeling the 19" wheels though. I would also make the black wheels with polished outer lip, like P-daddy's and mine. It also looked better to me with 18" Carrera wheels.

Al, what are the tire sizes that you have on the 19" rims and did you roll fenders on the rear.

Thanks,

Well,
I removed the OZ wheels and will go with the OEM hollow spoke wheels. I think, I will paint them a satin black with a satin polishe lip. Anyone have pics of a guards red with turbo twists in black.
Would like to see what it looks like.
Thanks,
AL Z

Holy smokes, Al! Your sig reads like a used Porsche lot. Nice stable of cars you've had. Congrats on the new addition. OZs look good, but have to agree that the Technology wheels painted as you spec'ed will look better, IMO. Looking forward to updates. And get the duck tail...but I am biased.
