Congrats! It really looks great and I love the wheels. This is the first aluminum package I have seen and it actually looks better than I imagined. Nice! Who did you work with at Stevens Creek? I have an S coupe arriving there in the next couple of weeks.

I'm sure the wait is killing you. Bob Steward was the salesman. So far I have had no problems with the dealership.

Very nice specs....congrats on the car
Curious how all the aluminum components on steering wheel, etc are in terms of heat absorption after car's been sitting under those blue CA skies on a warm day?

It has not been a problem even with the top down in the sun. Even the black interior only gets somewhat warm. Its been a nice surprise since I thought the interior would be a problem during the summer here as you know it reaches 100 degrees regularly. When its parked, I do try to keep the top up when in direct sunlight.

Good to know, thx...
One other question....did you opt for the Champion wheels for lighter weight vs factory wheels? Any reason you didn't go for PCCB to lose the 50-odd lbs vs std brakes? Wouldn't PCCB cost not much more than the wheels?

When I first put on the wheels I had the colored crests on but it didn't look that good. The color on the wheel just didn't seam to go well with the look. I am not that thrilled with the champion logo either. I am thinking of changing to the non colored porsche crest. Good observation.

car looks great thanks for sharing, how do the new rims feel vs the stock rims if you got a chance to run them both. Ti is an interesting metal stiffer then all [Email]H@$%[/Email] but at the cellular level it gets better with age...wondering how they compare to Ai or steel

I agree, the gold center caps just doesn't go along with your car. Especially with all that alum. The silver/black Porsche crest center caps would look good but I like the way the Champion caps look. When you look at the front of your car and see the gold Porsche crest I think it would look even nicer with the silver Porsche hood crest.
