Default Last modifications done for this year at the Porsche

So, all modifications are done now for this year. at beginning of july the mufflers have been changed. now i've got the mufflers of a GT3 Cup installed. what a sound... the difference from the standard ones to these is enormous. if accelerating in the city in 2nd or 3rd gear the sound is incredible loud. most people turn their heads, some are pleased, some not

two weeks ago i got the GT3 MKI wheels and now my car has new shoos. i really like how it looks now.

i'll not modify anything else this year. i planned some things do to next spring but we'll see what exactly that will be. i'll have the whole winter to think about it. for sure it will be lowered next spring, for all the other things i'm not sure about it yet.

here some pics with the new rims mounted:




i also made a little video to catch the sound. was a bit difficult because i was alone and only had my small digicam with me. but it's ok to get a first impression. i planned to shot a video with a friend soon, but more on this later.

here we go, hope you'll enjoy

Not bad. I'm picky about the flow of Aerokit parts to the right generation. For example you have front and side skirts from first GT3 but the tail of the second gen. GT3, the lines are just different. Also you in the works for suspension possibly PSS9's? The ride height is off especailly with the aerokit added. Really dig the exhaust. Want something for mine and a buddy has offered to make some bypass pipes for me but still considering. :roll:

You are going to fool many ppl by lowering it and removing the rear whiper but looks already damn nice of course.

Will you switch to winter tires and drive it during winter too or will she sleep some months?
