They completed nixed it. I would have been willing to wait for those options no matter how long they took, but the answer from Porsche was a firm no on more than one occasion.

That is one great looking car! How is your ground clearance and/or approach angle with the aerokit and lowering springs?

Jim:

Finally got it huh? Good for you!!!!!!!! I guess that day at the Lexington Concours and the diecast helped. I couldn't think of a better color. Excellent looks. My car will pale in comparison. You need to come to the shop before I send it off to paint. Give me a call I need to see that thing in person. CONGRATULATIONS

Beautiful car. I love the fact that you drove it home still wrapped and did the unveiling yourself. Must have been fun.

Yes, I am loving it.

Hidalgo: Clearance is minimal with lowering springs and the painted chin spoiler. I do have a fairly steep curb to deal with coming into and going out of the driveway. I have found that if I use a VERY shallow angle of approach along with the PASM set to sport (so the suspension travels less), I can get in and out without any problems. It is close, though.

Justin: I love the aerokit, too. I have been one of those fender flares and whale tales kind of guys since the 80's, the bigger the better. I am not disappointed with this iteration.

DJ23: It was fun unwrapping the car. It felt so good to know that the paint wouldn't be marred by someone else's gritty rag and dirty wash water. I sprayed the car first with soapy water, then rinsed, then soaped agin, then rinsed, THEN washed it with a brand new lamb's wool mitt and microfiber drying towels. Touched up a couple of places with some Menzerna polish then applied two coats of Zaino. It was a perfect Saturday!
