They do. They also look exactly like the wheels I've ordered for winter. Do you know what kind they are?

(Congrats, BTW!)

Thanks. I guess what I bought were some kind of knock off...

Vin - I paid 31,500. 46k miles. Perfect condition.
As far as mods go, what's left? It's already lowered, has the Fabspeed exhaust and sport suspension with wheel spacers. I prefer the fastback to any type of wing. I just have to make a nice signature pic for my posts, that's about it!
I thought about painting the calipers - I saw the post on that earlier. Beautiful results with the DIY kit. I don't think 19's will fit with the lowered suspension.

Any other ideas?

Ahem. < Tim clears his threat >

Mods??? Did someone ask for ideas for mods?? Well, here is a good "starter" list. You didn't give us much detail on the interior of the car so some of the following things may already be done.

o Brushed Aluminum “Carrera” logo.
o B&M Short Shifter.
o Aluminum Gauge Rings.
o Aluminum Pedals.
o Upper Storage Tray.
o Spoiler Switch installed in Horseshoe.
o Garage Door Opener Switch installed in Horseshoe.
o Paint the Brake Calipers Red.
o Paint "top hats" Silver.
o Increase your remote key fob range with the antenna DYI.
o Install MK I side skirts.
o Three spoke steering wheel.
o "Amberectomy" on headlights.

If you are not sure how to do some of these mods, let us know, we can point you to some DIY instructions.

Let us know when you get these finished and we'll give you some more ideas.

A lof of people run 19's with a lowered suspension without rubbing. It's more of a question of:
type of suspension,
street vs. track
the quality of your roads and how rough of a ride you're willing to tolerate

With proper offsets and tire sizes you could loose the spacers.

Would add SSK ASAP and paint the calipers red.

Good luck with the car.

nice mod ideas. I already have the 3-spoke wheel. Aluminum trim, but not the gauges - that would be a very nice touch. I was also considering the alum pedals too. I saw the earlier post on the group buy. Where is the best place to get the ones with the Porsche logo.

What is the upper storage tray, and what is the horseshoe. I have a spoiler switch on the footrest, figured that was standard. Garage door opener would be nice too.

I'm guessing if I search hard enough I'll find posts on just about everyone of these mods. When I get to that point, I'll consult you experts.
