Went for an early morning drive...
Past the Rock Store, up the Snake, and took some photos at the Look out place.













This car is so much fun to drive. I get an itch to take it up to the canyons every morning!

Great job, especially pics 3 and 5. They look like promotional quality.

Yeah, I was trying to see if I can sign my name on the road. Just kidding!

It was only about 7 AM. It gets foggy like that pretty often up there.

Nice shots...I know those roads well, I'm sure you had some nice drifts in a few of those hairpins with just a little condensation on the road

Your de-badged fenders look great! And to be honest I was not a fan of it until seeing these latest pictures.

People don't need the 6.3 badge to know what is under her hood... the sound alone will let them know >=)

I am more used to the stable back end of the 911's(newer ones at least ), so I am being very careful with the rear end. As my confidence builds, it should be very fun!

I actually did not even notice the lack of badges until some time after I brought the car home. At first I was going to put them on, but the "clean" look is kind of growing on me. I think I will leave it like that and see what happens.

I am thinking Kleemann package 1, 12mm spacers all around and lowering the car ~ 1/2 inch. Do you think I will have any rubbing issues? Also, what can I expect with the ~1/2 inch drop?

Are you not getting a set of aftermarket wheels? If so i guess the spacers will make it look more aggressive as far as stance especially once you lower it. No rubbing issues known. I think EVOsport uses H&R springs to lower the car.

Check this link for menu mods. Should give you an idea.

I think you should get the complete exhaust system. Makes the sound really amazing.

I am thinking I can just lower the car a little by adjusting the stock suspension settings. As for the exhaust, I am pretty happy with the way the car sounds stock but may go with headers/exhaust for performance reasons if I feel that I need more power.
