Hello and welcome.
If you get the Fikse FM-10s, I suggest you get them finished in "Brake Dust Grey", because they are an absolute bi-atch to clean.
Other than that they are great and the support from Fikse is stellar.

Very nice car. It's getting hard to find the low mileage examples. Well done.
Was it at Anderson Behel Porsche?
Already having PSS9's is a plus -- any information on the previous owners?
(Those wheels tend to occur on L.A. cars for whatever reason.)

Definitely wait.
And consider getting 3M paint protection film once you've had the paint done after you're finished with the track days.

Yes, it was from Anderson Behel (Stevens Creek Porsche Audi). The previous owners were local also. The dealer told me that the immediate PO is a guy who switches cars every 6-12 months and only had the car a short time. They told me that the other owner before that was Jerry Rice. Whether that's true or not...

Great looking car, and welcome to the board.
btw I think the Fikse wheels are a good choice IMHO they look fantastic.

Nice find! Agree about the wheels. Have you considered removing the bumperettes too?

Have you taken it out on the track yet? That's when you really get to know your car

Thanks to everyone for your comments and for welcoming me to the forum. This is a great resource with great people.

I haven't tracked the car yet. I just got it a week ago.

The wheels are on order so and I'll post pics when they're on.

Smile New Wheels Finally

The new Fikse FM/10's finally came in! I feel so much better.

FM10's. Good choice. Just be very careful about high-speed encounters with potholes.
And let's have a ceremonial burning of those chrome things ...

The car looks better every time I see the pics again.

Let's see it at a BAR drive!
