Regarding the tires...I have about 400 miles on them now and overall the car far feels much more planted than before. With respect to road noise from the tires on the highway, specifically The Garden State Parkway in NJ, there is less road noise from the tires. I am very pleased with the results. I will be posting more pictures this weekend with the top off and shots of the interior with the coco mats in ...

Looking forward to seeing the additional pictures and the new mats.

I just noticed your signature, nice addition to the stable! Maybe a good idea to post some pics of that as well.

That is stunning! The color combo on the wheels blends very nicely with the car and it really does give the car a retro/modern look, kind of like the Singer 911's. I still think you should add the Porsche logo back on the sides, I think it would make the car even more of a stand out.

Nice options on the Spyder by the way.

Looks great. But if you're going for a true retro look, why take off the iconic PORSCHE scripts?
