Potholes, stones and cinders aren't uncommon. Gutters into driveways are made to channel rain and snow. I love lowered Porsches. My 75 is lowered but it is so nimble over the gutters and often hits the skid bumpers under the front. I don't see this 05 as having an SUV ride height with these 19's and the staggered offset. But I do love the look of a lowed 911.
Thanks Chancellor..
  • Great car.
  • Great ability to have the freedom and financial ability to customize the way you see fit.
  • Great that at the end of the day this Porsche is in your garage.
  • As a forum member, it can be difficult to resist the urge to impart our own ideas onto the cars of others. Take what you need, ignore the rest.
  • At the end of the day, happy to have you part of the Porsche family. It's a blessing to own one.

Best of luck!

Spot on! Well said.
I currently have three 911's and have a different approach to each. It definitely is a privilege to live happily and to enjoy our passions in what is still the best country on the planet, Corvettes and all... ;D
Thank you sir.

Thanks Mark!
I have my autographed copy of Wayne's "101 Projects for 1999-2008 911's"... Great book regardless of your skill level.

I like the rims, very cool, adding an "S" - uncool. :-)

Thanks again Mark.. Anytime you're out this way and would enjoy a ride with some hard core Porsche enthusiasts through our local twisties, we'd love to see ya.

If I can find an email for you, I'll send you a great air cooled video, chasing some motorcycles through the Spars...

MTNRIDE, I think the car looks great. I don't normally like the deep dish wheels but your car is such a tasteful package with the black stone guards tying in the black wheel centers that it all just works - nice job. Love the license plate too - very Creative
