Those side skirts are 🔥🔥🔥

Default Since we're on the subject of stock vs mods

Staying minimal here, OEM fog lights soon to be installed as well.
Might do the Aero front bumper but other than that, staying pretty OEM.

Great car, jb97! Love the stance--and nice tint shade.

But, some might say, "How many times do you need to declare '911Carrera 4S' 911Carrera 4S 911Carrera 4S?" [Answer from the chorus: "Three times, you idiot!"]

I’m a fan of the subtle, smaller variant of the door decals. The bigger PORSCHE or Carrera script ones need to be well coordinated with the theme of the car, IMHO. Shouldn’t just be slapped on any 911.

True that, I was thinking of no side decal for the clean look or the long “Porsche” side decal for different look

Don’t forget Gundo/Fister exhaust mod.

My GTS 100% stock when purchased in December of 2015. No doubt that the car is/was beautiful in stock form. But as I've done with all 911's I've owned over the years, I want my own personalized touches added to the car.


Current look with mods: Lightly tinted windows, H&R Springs, HRE Wheels, Clear side markers, Sharkwerks bypass. I consider these mods to be subtle, yet enough to distinguish my GTS from others. As with all things in life, to each their own.

LOL! I have a 2-car garage that is part of our house which is where my wife's Macan is parked, as well as my DD, a Toyota Tundra. We also have a separate 2-car garage connected to the house via a breezeway. That garage houses the GTS and is obviously finished out a bit more fancy. Full A/C with the good looking tongue and groove woodwork on the walls. Behind this and perpendicular to the garage is a full 15x25 woodshop area. Complete man cave.

@ 911-997 - yes on factory 3rd radiator, which I believe is standard with a PDK?
