Default My Porsche made a catalogue

First off I am not selling, work for or have anything to do with this company other than I bought some items from them. I am in the military.
With that being said I recently (over the past year) decided to upgrade the looks on my 996 and had new wheels, front spoiler, side skirts, and ROW M0030 installed. The company who did the work for me called and asked if I minded if they took some pictures of my car and I said sure. Turns out they decided to use my car in their catalogue. I just happened to find a picture today and they a sending me a catalogue now. I guess this is the Merry Christmas for my Porsche.

Oh by the way this is the first time I have posted a picture of my car, I know it is long over due.

The light covers are from a tuner here in Germany and yes they were painted. I know some like them and some do not. The 19 are my looks wheels when I go to the ring I switch over to my 17s which are lighter and more agressive rubber.

Can you tell us more about your 'ring experiences?

How fast do you typically lap it in?
How many laps have you driven there?
How fast do you go through brakes and tires?
Is it as dangerous as they say?

Nothing special I have not been in a couple of months but I live about an hour from there, I am always happy to break 10 minutes which with the traffic can be difficult sometimes. It is kind of funny you will be driving what you think is really fast and then someone in a car that is not even close to yours passes you or you make a turn and there is a minivan with the wife and kids dead smack in the middle of the road. I always try and find a car that is less capable than mine with a really good driver and follow them to learn where to brake etc...

I was in Iraq when I found this site and had over 100 post before I returned and just keep under the radar, but that is what I am trained to do.
Thanks glad you like it.
Thanks DFC

Ahh, I do remember that.

I've got to admit that the headlight covers don't normally look good on the darker colors, but they look good on that shade of blue.

Simply Stunning!

Way to fly under the radar, they got me before I knew what hit me.
Thanks for serving, much respect to you.

Thanks, actually the drive there is nicer along A62 towards Trier, at the Ring I am usually just trying to get a little better and not crash it, read I am sweating.

Thanks, I had a cheaper ebay set on that looked like crap, these cost about 4 times more but look alot better.
