New Wheels

Car is filthy! Was tearing up the canyons all morning.

Had these BBS CH-R's put on last week along with lowering springs to replace the Carrera S II that I had. I debated getting those painted black but decided to go with the BBS wheels instead. Glad I did. It sits just right for me. Ride is great.

Next up is new side guards, mine are getting way yellow. Going to try the black ones that will be here next week from Suncoast. Will see if I like that look or not... will go back to clear if I don't. I'm also going to have my tint guy do a LIGHT tint (I went Medium on my white E60 and it's too dark for me on a white car) and replace the back Carrera emblem with a black "911".

AWE exhaust being made too.

I think that black wheels look sweet on a white car. Well played.

I think it will look even better with a darker tint.

Looks great! Are you considering black rear wheel stone guards?

I am. I'm not sure if I'm sold on them as I haven't seen in person. But I've seen a few pictures of them on white and they do look good in the pics. Will give it a go, it's $50 experiment. If not, I'll replace them with the clear ones.

They'll arrive from Suncoast Tues along with a black "911" badge to replace the grey carrera there now. My tint guy is going to install them along with a light tint all around on the car this week.

Car got a badly needed bath today too.
