Pics of new 987 S (finally)

[Bob Z.]

I took delivery on Feb. 29 and finally took a few pics after adding a few personal touches. Thus far the car has been a joy and as the miles go on it seems to be loosing up a bit (easier to shift, etc.).

Looks great Bob!

Did you paint the wheel center caps yourself?

I like the Cayman wheels on the Boxster more so then on the Cayman. Nice choice.

[Bob Z.]

Thanks. The Cayman S wheels are nice although the spokes are kinda wide but better than the stock ones IMO.

I had Eric at Bumper Plugs do the wheel center caps for me - outstanding quality. I debated doing them in Black but am glad I chose Red to match the car.

Eric also did the side vents and I did the exhaust surround piece myself since he did not recommend it due to heat issues; however, it is holding up fine.

[TriGem2k]

Can't really tell the exhaust surround piece that you mentioned from your pictures. Are you talking about the U shaped Piece right about your exhaust tips?

[Bob Z.]

Yeah, hard to see in the pic but if it were not painted it would stick out like a sore thumb - upside down U shaped piece that fits between the bumper and exhaust tip. It was a silver color, which clashed with the Red & Black.

1+ on the Cayman S wheels, love the red cockpit gauges, very nice!

I totally disagree, but the rest of the car is hot!

Well done, Bob. I know you worked hard to make this a very special car.

Us Porsche owners sure know how to find the best parking spots!!

Congrats Bob Z! Sweet ride!

[boxs2000]

that car is hot! That guards red is really growing on me, I especially like the red gauges

[super66]

bob - the car looks great! I am a fan of the gauges....not so much the cayman rims but I don't like those on the cayman either...

I will say its great that you did your vents and side markers so I don't have to chime in with do your vents and side markers

[LoveBunny]

Look really nice. I like the red gauges.

Are those Michelin Pilot Sport tires? what are they if they aren't, talk about them please......

[Bob Z.]

That is what I like about these cars - one can personalize them and make them their own. Some like the Red gauges, some don't...same for the Cayman S wheels. Needless to say I like it just the way it is; however, if I had to order it again I would get the rollbar painted Guards Red. Options can add up pretty fast though and my car is pretty basic (sticker was just under $61k).

Yes, the tires are Michelin PS2s.

[LoveBunny]

Yes, the options can add up pretty quickly. I really liked though that I could order specifically the ones I wanted and nothing else. When I tried searching for a car that had all the things I specifically wanted, the only ones that came close had a bunch of other stuff I didn't care about that drove the cost up a lot.

I love the looks of those red gauges. Really sets off the interior. Thx for the pics !

Since some people enjoy the guards red gauges, I thought I'd show what they look like from the driver's perspective.

Cheers
