Default Some first photos...

Well its raining outside so Ill take some outdoor shots when it clears up but heres some first pics after a few days of constant cleaning. Buffed the wheels last night, amazing how stained they were from brake dust and crud over the years, you couldnt really see it until some portions had been buffed well. The car is literally flawless, not a single scratch or rock chip!!!

Jerry it looks incredible!! Great job! Consider lowering that beast and put spacers on the rears. She is sitting way too high right now.. It will make the car look (and handle) sooooooo much better.. Best mod I ever did..Ride quality with the H&R's is still very good..

Great job on the detailing. It looks amazing.. You have inspired me to do that to mine..

Love the Martini Porsche poster on the wall! Like a little kids room lol! I love it!

That is a freakin gorgeous car!!!!!!!

Car looks perfect, but you need to go out there and get a couple of rock chips on the hood otherwise we're going to assume it's the wife's car

all joking aside, great job on the detail and as Phillip said get some lowering springs (0.7"-1" is perfect, lower but not so low that you scrape on every dip). I never noticed how high the stock ride height was until I pulled next to a couple of lowered Turbos. Now all I see are the huge wheel fender gaps on stock porsches, Ferraris and Lambos.

What can I say that hasn't been said already. A real beauty, love the wheels.
My car had half the miles when I bought it and it had a small scratch and rock chips. The previous owner of your car must have been extremely careful (and lucky) to keep it truly like new.
Good for you. Enjoy for many years !!

Hey Jerry - wow. A stunning TT and a GREAT detailing job. What wheels are those? Super nice.

Mine goes in for detailing with Ultrashine here in Vancouver. Looking forward to seeing it back to original.

As for lowering and spacers, I may consider this as well.

Joel the wheels are Champion Motorsport MS61's they are the magnesium version of the 171's.

As far as lowering I dont have any plans on doing it. It sits a little bit high but in person doesnt look as exagerated as in the photos. The wheels and tires are flush with the fenders so no need for spacers. Post pics of your car when you get it back!!
