Dropped it with H&R springs. Also swapped out the CH-R's for black sport designs. I have to get the right spacers though these were off a NB C2S.

Very nice video and very well shot.
Excellent DIY for novice enthusiasts. Should be a sticky.

The Black Sport wheels look GREAT.

Thanks guys. Really wanted a change and I love the SD in black. I never was a fan of black rims until my Ram came that way OEM.

Should I add a silver pinstripe to the rims?

Sport Designs are my favorite Porsche wheels even though they are a pain to clean, a polished lip on those would set it on fire

Nice summer evening, took a little drive through the city. Chased the sunlight, mostly unsuccessfully, and sot some photos - bridge over the freeway, and downtown near the new arena under construction. I figure once the arena is done, I'll go back to the same location and take some more photos!

Ordered a new key bezel and door handle trim for the driver side. They are the only things in the cocoa interior that was scratched by car keys and picky as I am I just have to fix it.

Have to take the door apart though to replace the door trim but that will be a winter project.

Yes! EMC2 has this look on his black coupe. Looks amazing IMO.

Nice photos. Edmonton? Must be getting a lot of daylight up there at this time off the year...T

Yup, Edmonton. You can faintly see the freeway sign for Wayne Gretzky Drive on the bridge photos. The ones with the arena in the background are from the arena's back end. Too much construction going on at the moment to get much closer! Tons of daylight nowadays....all those pictures were from about 945pm...love summer. Conversely, in the middle of winter it's dark by about 4:00 though....

I like the 1 color look so I'd vote no.

Thanks jcsomerv

I had a polished lip done on a lathe on my 911 Sport Designs. It provides a great contrast and stays a lot cleaner than the painted stripe that I have on the Cayenne Sport Design wheels. On the Cayenne the painted lip/stripe darkens more easily as the wheels get dirty. The polished lip seems to look cleaner for longer. Personally I really like the look.

That looks awesome. I just bought some metallic pin striping to try out on mine. The cost to machine the lip is around 600 so I figure for 80 dollars with shipping seems good if it works out. I'll post once results once I get it delivered and installed
