BBS LM's most definately, they always look fantastic on Porsches.

I've always thought the headlights stood out a bit too much on 996's, has anyone ever tinted them? I think it would look good. Either way, the car looks great, go outside and enjoy it!

Speculation on my part but wouldnt you need GT3 size tires to keep the aero/mechanical grip in balance? This may make a difference at higher speeds and higher gforces .

GT3 size tires?

he would need GT3 size weight, and suspension too to get GT3 levels of grip.

but with the aero kit, it stops producing lift... and at apeed, actually starts producing a little d/f


the GT3 size wheel/tire combo? that would change the steering feel, and grippier tires would give you more grip... for aero balance; ride hight is all that "needs" to be changed

at some point, you just say "hey, Mantley... make this faster"
