Thank you my friend. I agree completely. 7.2 Aero doesn't have the aggressiveness of the 7.1 aerokit. Looks almost like a carrera. SC lip pronounces the lines better. Let's see how the rear will shape after the ducky.

Fitted the Getty Design ducktail today. Totally transformed the car and gave it much needed sportiness at the back.

Love this post, your car (ductail awesome!), and of course that garage. I'm curious, given your passion for M, what convinced you to buy Porsche? In particular, the 997 GTS?

Looks awesome now. Duck looks best with painted side rocker covers and front lip as you have it. nice work. When I retire my GTS to the street, I'll be doing the same, because this looks so great for a weekend warrior.
And agree, another photo shoot is needed!

Thanks my friend. Porsche was the logical upgrade after owning all the M cars I ever wanted. It was time for a change and to discoiver the 911 culture. So for, no regrets. Both amazing products in their own way.

IMO, adding the stripes is fine if you keep the badging. i'd first get rid of the black rear fender PPF for a clear one. black accents and gray accents don't mesh well here. and then asses if you'll also want to change the wheels too but I think it would be fine if you nixed the black fender PPF
