Perception is greater than reality!! Evening lighting combined with some editing make it look a lot better than actual condition. It is an 11-yr old car and has some patina. I also don't have any PPF as I don't believe in it. In a few years, the front bumper will need some love and a respray. That said, factory black holds up well. Thank you!! Here's another shot from the same evening. You can see more pics in my build thread. Link is in my sig.

Price of gas today in Vancouver converted to USD/US gallon = 7.25. Thank goodness I go to the office about once a week these days. Through a window:

Mine as well. The once a month cars and coffee are done until next summer, but there's the Christmas charity ride.

You are running 20's so this is your only option. With 19s, the aspect ratio is 35 front and 30 rear. Be careful over potholes!

Thanks! I sometimes run 20s on my Golf R, unfortunately, I am used to clenching them cheeks, the steering wheel and my teeth while closing my eyes.

My wife’s Project 997.2 C4S is finally home and complete after 11 months. She essentially has a brand new 13 year old 19K mile 911, the best generation. And she has chosen it over her GT4.🙀
