Here is my 08 CS. I've posted pictures before but have now added:

Turbo bumper (waiting on squiter covers), factory skirts and painted bottom trim.
Color matched the door handles and door molding(bottom) - i don't know why they come silver. And painting them black makes them look like an unpainted molding, kind of what you would find on a cavalier!! (sorry just my opinion).
22" Savini forged 3 piece wheels, white and flat black
KW coilovers

hi stick4, i am just wondering how is the ride your car with that height on KW? I installed KW almost the same height as your picture and the ride is horrible very stiff.

thats a very cool cayenne, well done, i love those deep dish alloys, the only thing i dont like is the exhaust pipes, the standard look does not suit that car.

Yes the car rides horribly and doesn't go low enough, its is spun down about 4 threads to the bottom, but i don't have any other choices because i like my cars really low.

I bought the bumper cover on ebay and ordered all the rest on parts.com.

And yes the lips get really dirty, 've never had a car that made so much brake dust.

All that being said the car is beautiful in person, very different for a Cayenne so i am happy...

Well you guys just nailed it for me with 2 open admissions of horrible ride. I was going to drop mine, but not if I am stopping every 1/4 mile to pick up my filings. Also - STICKY if you use Hawk ceramic pads, all your brake dust problems will disappear. If anything the hawks throw a very small amount of dust that is white.
