Hi all,

I've been reading threads and posts on 6speedonline for quite some time now but I just never got around to registering. I wanted to introduce myself and share my 997.

I'm proud to say that my car never seen a drop of rain (not as impressive as if I were from the east coast or up in the north western states but still pretty disciplined in my book) and it was also featured in the 2007 LA Auto Show.

Exterior: Arctic Silver Metallic
Interior: Black Standard Leather
Mileage: 5,500

AFTERMARKET WORK:
20 Inch Maya DLS rims and tires
H&R lowering springs
World renown stereo system by Reus Audio you must hear to believe. The imaging and crispness of this system mimics a recording studio
Body Color painted center console, kick plates, etc
Suede enhancements to vanity mirrors and other areas
Dual eclipsed chrome exhaust tips.
Tinted Windows

PICTURES

A three year old car and only 5,500 miles? for shame. Porsches are built to be driven!

Hi. Thanks for the kind words. The wheels are 20 inch Maya DLS wheels with black centers. I'm not sure how much they weigh, I bought them more for cosmetic purposes. Since this is a three piece wheel, my only complaint is that they tend to leak air. As a result you need to have them resealed or have the valve stems tightened. Apparently three piece wheels do this. I have had the wheels for two years and I have only had to have the valve stems tightened once. Aside from that the wheels are great and receive lots of looks.

Not a fan of the wheels - but I like the rest - especially the painted bits in the interior.
