It looks awesome dude! Congrats! Those wheels look great! You must be so stoked!
What drives are you plotting to celebrate?
I got the Fister D mufflers about 2 weeks ago, and love them. (Mines a cab) I suspect in a coupe the FD volume sounds just a click above how the stock exhaust sounds in a cab with the top down, but where the Fister D mufflers shine is in the depth of the growl, the magical burble between gears and off throttle, and the WOT roar under bridges and bouncing off the California canyon walls - it's a symphony that the stock mufflers were unable to play.
Leaving work today a colleague was sitting outside as I drove away, and he texted a few minutes later:
"That was easily the highlight of my day! Is that the stock exhaust? It sounds amazing!"
So, that's a pretty good testimonial!
Tell us what you like best about the car so far, and please post up some more pics soon-
Congrats again- that's awesome!

The car is everything I had hoped for - direct EVERYTHING, direct steering feel, shifts, handling. It's stable but too stable where you get overconfident. I get the impression if you dive on the brakes the rear will squirm. Gunning it out of the corner I can feel the rear-end pushing me through the corners.
I'm completely blown away by PSM and PASM - pressing that sport button is night and day. I had an S2000 in San Francisco so I was used to a harsh ride, but I didn't expect the Porsche to be so well composed when the Sport button is OFF. I might even argue the suspension soaks up bumps better than my Mercedes C63. Turn it ON and suspension tightens up, throttle response is way sensitive, and it's a blast
I'm totally in love with the car. It's simple elegant looking, but it masks the fact that it's a raw true sports car underneath.
