The bags are from a company called airforce suspension. They are "custom" in the sense that they barely recently designed a setup for 997's and are only custom made to order, they do not carry inventory on these. If you are interested I can get you in contact with Ray at Airforce suspension.

So i was offered a sponsorship by the company VIP Modular to rock their FF550 wheel in 20 inch and accepted. They wanted an overly aggressive setup and we met in the middle at 20x9 et40 Front and 20x11 et40 rear. This is still aggressive but once suspension and tire fitment is dialed in, I should be good to go. I am having the wheels finished in their iconic dubai gold finish with black hardware. Below is a photo I found online of a Lexus sporting(ish) this combo . Definitely not for everyone but very much for me! Now I need gold sparkly shoes to match haha

I will be sure to post photos once everything is on. Custom build so will be atleast a month is my guess.

That wheel design actually looks pretty nice. I'm a little less excited about the color since it would have looked really tasteful in a brushed bronze or something like that.

It is a simple 5 spoke, which is different than what I typically go for, but should look great as it allows the brakes and rotors to be seen, similar to the stock 5 spoke I currently have. Bronze was actually my number 2 option! I plan on matching my (eventual) roll cage to the wheels and gold stands out a ton.

It has been about a month since I last posted. The build is still in progress, just so many things have been on order or pending being built, etc.

Car is in the shop now having fully custom Frunk setup to go along with the air suspension. Custom one off cage being designed, trying to make my mind up and will hopefully have it fabbed here in the next 1.5 months. I am heavily considering a Soul Performance exhaust but for now I have a fabspeed muffler bypass being built (yes, i know it will be 'obnoxious', kind of what I want temporarily lol). Wheels are still being built and fingers crossed they will be in within the next week, tires are anxious to be mounted. A few other lighting goodies being added here and there.

Ride height (kind of):

I am looking to do this bumper upgrade. What else was needed besides the aero bumper cover for the swap? Cant seem to find it on porschepartsnow.com site, and its $1500 from suncoast

Here is the link to the exact part. Their website is not user friendly, you need to basically know the exact part number to find anything.

I did not need anything else other than this kit. The only piece you will need to swap from your stock bumper is the center grille cover.

Progress post with photos of the car as it is under the knife and parts pending to be installed.

A lot of these are just screenshots and tidbits I am capturing from Instagram.
