Default Time To Meet CK

Recently I purchased a 2005 Turbo S Cabriolet from a 70 year old man from Arizona. The story that unfolded and the modifications he had done to this car are fantastic. He spared no expense, only to fall victim to love (like we all have at some point in our lives). That's how I got my hands on this beauty. Check out my intro video and high-level overview of the modifications that were done. It's only 12 minutes long and I get to show off my mad kazoo skillz. 😎

Ill be honest, everything cosmetically about that car is atrocious. I think the previous was color blind or something.

I think the color is great. Put some silver GT3 wide body fitment on that car and it's a winner.

I don't disagree but peeling off the wrap and getting rid of those horrible looking wheels would possibly reveal a nice car. Hard to get past the current look though.

That Turbo S badge has got to be fixed, the alignment is off. Also those aftermarket taillights drive me crazy. I saw a 6tt with them earlier today too. Really ruin the body lines of the rear - the red and clear of the stock lights follow the line through the trunk thats harkens back to the og heckblende lights. The aftermarket ones look like autozone tier. Brake logos are black instead of red, wrong font, wrong color on calipers... I do unironically love the lobster interior tho! congrats

I have to agree with Rngtrtl. It’s a complete mess.

That beautiful red interior deserves a complimentary understated exterior and stock wheels.

Reminds me of superman. One of the first nice cars I looked at was an e46 m3, interlagos over red. Looked the same.

I love the car, but dislike the color of the wheels. It is your car, if you like it, that’s all that matters!
