Porsche yellow brakes with Brembo decals, Smoked taillights and brakelight, and 3000K HID fog lights. Top notch work on the part of the entire crew @ HMS. I'll be back for more!

Looking good. I like how quickly your car changes its style. Are those the plug-n-play HID 3000?

Can you get a pic of the fogs beam pattern on a wall or garage door? I just picked up some 3k fogs as well and would like to know what to expect.

Are those in the stock fog housings?

Looks good although I personally would rather have AMG on the brakes...for some reason I see that as being nicer looking than Brembo.

Good stuff Mikey, you can never go wrong with HMS---They did my 3000k HID fogs on the 997TT and the lighting is excellent plus they smoked the tails. I went there again more recently and had the 35w bulbs and ballasts switched to 55w for even more lighting.

how were the tail lights smoked, sprayed or with film?
Are the calipers painted or powdercoated?
How is the ride versus stock with those Monarch Wheels?
The ride looks great.

Cylinder Head says your car looks awesome.

Cylinder Head also thinks you should stop referring to yourself in the 3rd person.
