What a transformation! Don't forget to re-torque all of your suspension pieces periodically because of the added stress from the 19 inch wheels. When Porsche designed the 997 they started with 996 suspension parts but discovered that they had to beef them all up (they were trying to do it without changing the parts) because they discovered that the added stress from the larger wheels put significant stress upon the suspension components, leading to failure.

Looks awesome! What springs did you go with? I'm toying with the idea of lowering my cab.

tballas, I absolutely love your car! Do you keep the rear spoiler up most/all the time?

Is yellow the more popular color for calipers on these cars? I was thinking on doing red but I keep seeing more and more with yellow or the lime green color.
