Finally got the center caps painted and installed. I used SEM high gloss black. Finishes off the wheels....

Bull, now that you're going with white what wheels are you going with.........

very nice setup, very nice.
I am getting more and more anxious to do some mods to mine.... we'll see.
I am leaning towards the cosmetic mods at first (techart/Gemballa steering wheel, and interior mods) then we will see about the power.

I am going to tally up what I think I might add in $$$ to my GTS, if the cost outweighs what I might gain, I might jsut be looking at a nice Cayenne, something with a T or a T and S after it. (now I would consider those b/c they offer the GTS seats in them now as well as some other previously GTS only options).


we will see.

I understand exactly what you're saying. Other than window tint I'm about done...... well, depending on the cost of red belts, red gauges and perhaps some leather interior bits... ....and maybe the ECU flash depending on cost vs. gains I'm done too. Maybe we should have bought a T or TS too...

from my contact within fabspeed, I think the ECU flash is about $2,300.
They are running numbers on a GTS this weekend and will hopefully have numbers for me on the gains by Monday.
I will post if I hear anything.

I still like the naturally aspirated engine over the Turbo or TS, but those are wonderful machines. I have had the opportunity to drive each of them, 08 T, and the 06TS, and wow. amazing

Back when I had the 08 CTT ordered, I just couldnt bring myself to get the soft look leather like I originally wanted, once I sat in the GTS seats. Those seats are the main reason I purchased the GTS. I was still around 100K for the GTS, but I loved the seats.

Now since the seats are offered, I might be in the market for the new Turbo, but equal option turbo with the Sport design package, and everything else I want/need, would bring me in around $112K. if I was financing thats only $100 bucks a month or something like that. never know..... for now I am content with the GTS, and loving every minute of it. the last vehilcle I had, when my tires needed a changing, I just changed the car. I hope to keep this one longer, but never know.

those are beautiful little touches.

i have been trying to think of some options for the S as well. i want to treat is differently from the other parts like in the carrera 4s.

would love another shot of that new logo's.

btw - you need clear sides!

Looks great! I would have never thought to paint those nasty hubs. It is crying for clear or smoked side markers. With your lack of response to the other posts about this, I guess it is something you are not considering. But do it anyway!.....

black or a super high gloss silver would be my choice.

Yeah, I know clear markers are it right now I'm just not feelin them yet? Sometimes it takes me a while. I like the smoke look on the tail lights and maybe the side markers as is (but smoked?).
