If I won the lottery I would drop off my 911 with Alex and have him work his magic.
Its almost good enough that I have a Sharkwerks exhaust.

Quite amazing... do you have an affiliate in NY-Metro area? Why are all the best tuners located out West?

It's the same with the Shelby's - Vegas and California - all the best tuners.

My seller paid $400 dollars out of pocket to detail his 997 before he delivered it to me!

He got a really good deal and knew that bob@autoconcierge was going to "fix" it and bring her back

Luckily he did!

I also noticed the potential RMS leak in the photo and that the engine/trans underside looks to be a dichotomy of clean and worn parts.

Thank you and Bob's the best when it comes to paint correction

On the RMS, roger that... he's actually having the dealership cover that under warranty and hopefully at the same time we're providing him with our LWF kit. Fingers crossed.

My pleasure and it's fun seeing the before and after... Every single one is different

We've got a few here: http://www.sharkwerks.com/porsche/

This is the the suspension that works with the PASM?

This plugs right into the PASM harness and works the same as the factory system in that sense so you still retain your button functions. There's a recommended range of about .5-1.5 inches that you should use.

Thanks Edgy01 and see above

Great job on the paint work. Just goes to show, don't give up on a finish before going to a professional!

Thanks and roger that on the RMS.. it's going to be taken to the dealer and hopefully we can sneak in a LWF....
