Dan, congrats on the new ride! You'll enjoy every day you sit behind the wheel (mine is in storage and the days are long). The car looks nice and clean; I can tell you've discovered how fun these are (coming from a 911 owner for over 25 years).

The car appears to have Carrera lightweights...don't change those out for aftermarket and I'm quite partial to them myself.

Don't touch those wheels!

They are perfect as is.

Thanks, for the comps and the input, guys. I wont touch the wheels now that I know what I have, I really do like them.

jmatta, your S looks awesome, I really need to get the duel tips, spoiler and clear side markers now! I saw in your profile your a PCA instructor. Both my parents had Porsches and were PCA members. I was an SCCA instructor one year in the early '80's. I use to race formula cars and held an SCCA & FIA Pro license back then. I started racing karts when I was 11 and both my son's started racing karts before they could ride a bike. My youngest (16) is racing shifter karts now, we are looking to move him into Spec Miata next year.

whipe350, thanks, blue light in my mirror would wipe the grin off in a hurry.

Lordblood, this is one I have been eying, Pelican sells a similar one if not the same.

Does anyone know a good source for duel tips for the exhaust?

Hang your head out the window when you're cruising the wine country up in Napa. You'll soon learn to keep your mouth shut to keep the bugs off your teeth. That will wipe the perma-grin off your face.
Happy Boxstering.
