First Porsche - CPO 2012.5 911S
Hello Everyone!
I'm glad to join the community and introduce (with pictures) my first Porsche. It's a dream car (even having come from a long line of BMWs), and I absolutely love it.
I picked her up in Washington State at Porsche of Bellevue, and had a fantastic drive home over the Memorial Day weekend back to CA. She's a 2012.5 C2S with really simple options including (most importantly) a 7spd manual gear box!
I've only done a few subtle modification so far: LED side markers and simple DIY de-badge/re-badge project. I've got some ECS Tuning wheel spacers on the way!
Looking forward to getting her on the track or running some autocrosses soon! Hope to see you all there!
Delivery of the car at Porsche of Bellevue
Driving the Oregon coast on the way back to CA. Awesome drive!
Just across the border in CA
Mount Shasta in the background
Picture of my recent project. De-bading and re-badging the car in matte black with matching license plate frame
A good side profile shot where you can see the new LED clear side markers

Gray + white - both my favorite colors. I did the same clear side markers mod, and have the AWE switchpath on the way. Those guys have a six week waiting time due to large volume of orders, but I hear good things.
What's involved in the de-badge/re-badge job?

Totally digging the dark theme of your car. That must of been a hell of a spirited drive with that crew.

Though I haven't named my cars in the past, I've decided to name her "Charis", which means gift of grace. I'm feeling grateful for owning such an awesome car!

Welcome Bright! You have my exact car except mine is a 2013. I've done lots of mods ha. I bought mine in Calif (San Diego) and drove to Az. Gotta love those taxes huh?
Enjoy your new "friend".

It's a exercise in patience if you decide not to use a hair-dryer as I did, but all in all not difficult at all!
