Nice pick up, great color and extremely unique!

Not that you asked but it definitely needs some black accents to tie it all together with the black wheels and to also break up the orange a bit. At a minimum I would definitely black out the front grills and the "turbo" emblem on the rear, and if you add a black carbon fiber front lip and mirrors that would complete the look IMO

either way, enjoy the ride it is a beautiful car!

cheers

You know that was my first thought before I even bought the car. Black accents would look cool. But now after owning it for a little while I'm really sold on the all-orange look. At least for the time being. And black is somewhat predictable. I think if I might tray gunmetal/gray metallic if I decide to go that route. That would look really cool with the orange.

Thanks, yes it's RS Orange or just Orange.

Yes, heading down on Friday. Will be parked in the Rennlist section on Saturday. Hopefully the weather cooperates!

Thanks guys! Bob, hopefully you'll see it before the VT trip!

I think I'm not going to install the H&R springs. This car rubs so much at stock height in NY, another inch drop would catastrophic for the front lip

remember the H&R are progressive meaning not as much overall compression, my 991 rubbed less after 30mm drop because of spring stiffness.

It's not the compression I'm worried about. It's bumps and driveways at very low speed that are killing me...

springs are a real tough call if you drive in the city, like I do.
