First thing i thought too. Looks like 80s louvers... also makes the front look huge. Not judging or anything. /s

That's ok. I like sporting the raw stainless straight pipes. The early 911 RS's are my inspiration.

thank you, as do I 😬

i I have the eibachs sitting in the garage, now I just have to get wheels. These center locks are useless IMO. I didn't care for the appearance from the get go, the hate is stronger when I see how much replacements cost. Would be better if I could throw some spacers on but again....

if they the grills were satin grey like on the 997.2 WB cars i think the grills would look better and more understated; you would still see the details and notice that there are nice vents there but wont look as testarossa ish.

good question, have an offer pending but also have spare lowers at home with alcantara to recover.... my first go around on recovering with the alcantara failed due to bad spray adhesive. may give it another try and I have some time.

I'll take pics and report back on Sunday night.
Couple pics from the Dragon drive. If you've not made the trek to drive that stretch of road, I'd encourage everyone to try and do it. Definitely fun.

Awesome. I'll wave at my old wheels on the way by

I still haven't found the time to get to the Atlanta PEC, but may go with one of the Porsche clubs this fall. Excited to hear back on your visit.
