Forgive my ignorance but what's a "v1"?

 

Valentine One

 

It's Carrara White, not Carrera White.

 

Are you in Long Beach? That looks like Marine Stadium.

Be sure to say hello if you ever see me out on 2nd!

 

Good eye, but I think the 2nd pic gives it away if you look closely!

We're in Belmont Shore.

 

3rd pic was actually the tell! I've traveled that bridge many times before.

We should meet up for coffee one of these weekends. I'm local on weekends, and in Irvine during the week.

 

Thanks for the correction, noted.

 

Thx!

 

What we NEED to do is a SoCal Canyon Run!

 

Love it!

I am thinking of buying the same wheels for my 997.2 Carrera S, but was concerned about the offset. What are the offsets of your wheels? Do you have any clearance problems with the fenders? You said your car is lowered was wondering how much. I appreciate the information to help me make my decision.

 

These wheels fit perfectly. The offset is slightly more aggressive and looks a lot better than stock. My car is lowered about 1" (H&R springs). I have absolutely no tire rub or fender clearance issues.

Front
Size: 19x8.5
Offset: 51mm

Rear
Size: 19x11
Offset: 56mm

 

spyerx,

Love the look of your car.

I have a white 997 also.

Could you please tell me the specifics on the window tint you selected? If looks perfect.

Thanks,

Warren

 

Black stone guards is odd with black rims!! To me it runs together. But on the other hand- you dont get that dirty outline that i get with the clear. Also it looks like a turbo inlet that is too low at a quick glance. I love the white,but it requires alot of washing to keep it clean. (Shows dirt easy) But since mine isn't a daily driver -it works for me. Not a big fan of taking elements from other 911's and putting them on one that doesn't come stock. (Black stone guards - Speedster- looks good because the car is longer. GT2 hood on a base 911?? Center exhaust?? go buy a GT3- Just my thoughts.

 

I love the black stone guard with black rims over white - beauty. To each their own, I guess.

Porsche factory takes elements from other cars in the line up and puts them in various models all the time. 991 dashboard from Cayenne. Boxster center exhaust, C4S body from Turbo, the list goes on.
