The ones with satin black rear has a fantastic vibe with the crispy clear car and almost Sun down and mist surrunding it....

Peter,

Love the shots. I purchased a 997.2 last August and your shots drove me to get back into photography. So I purchased a Canon 5D Mark II. What post-production software & settings did you use if any on some of your shots. Enjoyed the updates on your car you have installed. Best Pierre.

Car looks great---> For the life of me I can't figure out why Porsche doesn't lower their cars from the factory??
They look so much better and aggressive, better handling and killer stance
Also I think sales would increase---> Whats up w/Porsche? Should I be running the company?

Thank you, Congrats on the new car! I use photoshop CC for all editing, and I typically shoot in aperture priority (AV), low ISO (50-100), and high aperture (F1.4, F1.8, F2.0), hope that helps! You can check out my flickr account which has some exif data:

I agree 100%, and maybe you should be running the suspension department, hahaha.

It is mid winter and it's time to start shopping for some wheels, I started reaching out to some suppliers now to make sure they arrive in time for spring time but have not made a choice yet. I also ordered some customized plates, will post when they arrive.

Some photos from the fall that I just got around to editing:

Car looks great! Are you running spacers? The FF01 offsets aren't aggressive, worried about that with mine being quite low. Also where did you get your ducktail from? Looks amazing!

Thanks! No spacers, the ones i got are 19x11 et35 in the rear which puts them close to flush. if youre lowered you might want to consider 5-8mm spacers but i dont know how HRE does offset on the narrow body set. Ducktail was installed when i bought the car but its a Getty Sport Ducktail and i think you can just order it directly from them.

To be honest with you I would highly recommend spacers with the FF01's. The FF01's aren't aggressive & your lowered right height will only dramatize that. From a quality standpoint there is no comparison between the two you are considering. Feel free to give me a shout when you're ready for the FF01's, I'll take care of you on pricing & service.
