Thanks for the welcome. It has 19s on it. A little rough, but I had a lifted Jeep Wrangler with mud tires before so it rides great to me. And I have been known to wash it in the rain so I could pull it in the garage to clay bar and wax it haha. Also had to train the wife and kids how to get in and out with out leaving hand prints on it. Next thing on my to do list is the center console is showing some wear. I guess the last owners watch or something rubbed a small spot on the top of the console while shifting. Hard to notice but I drives me crazy.

Great car. Nothing like an unmolested 997. I hope it's everything you expect it to be.....

Get that center console painted black. Spruces up the interior nicely and a relatively easy DIY R&R. Local body shop can spray and clear coat for $125.

I like that console. Never thought about just having it painted. I was thinking about alcantara but I might like the paint better. It will give me something else to wax. Haha

Or give Eri at Bumperplugs a call ro check his site. He did mine in Satin Black and a painted custom console does look stunning as you can see above. Good luck! Great car again

Congrats on your new ride. Black on black remains a sleek combo. Have fun with keeping it sparkling though....
