    Driveway improvement

    I picked iy up at 3:00 this afternoon. It was overcast but the roads were dry, dry until 3:00




    Re: Driveway improvement

    I LOVE that picture of the black Turbo from overhead. Do you have a high resolution version of that? 1920x1200, please.

    I can (and will) do it tomorrow, rain or shine. Its a 8 megapixel Nikon, want max? That's my garage btw, under construction.

    Re: Driveway improvement

    That is a great shot from above...very nice car..

    Re: Driveway improvement

    In the overhead pic which looks great, there appears to be a line across the hood and over each of the fenders. are these areas covered by protective 3m film or similar ? car looks great in the wet, like the ads said, pray for bad weather. .. but not to bad, thanks

    Ah, just what the doctor ordered: A little rain to break in the new PTM/PSM on the 997TT!

    BTW, congrats. on the new TT.

    Re: Driveway improvement

    Yup, that is the film. I need to compare the job with the SL55s 3M film.

    Film or rock chips, I dunno.

    Congrats on the ?blk 997TT Obviously subjective, but after yrs of experimenting, have never found a better color combo for any P/F/MB than blk/blk

    Yeah, personal preference re: film vs rock chips .....did film on one F from a highly rec'd shop; looked too much like the plastic covers some would put over furniture/carpets, etc....too much of the "I've never had a great new car before/won't get another one anytime soon or ever/but what about the resale value????" look for my tastes....

    Never kept any car more than 6-12 mos anyway (despite 15K mi/yr; careful parking/garaging/detailing/hand washing by a pro every 1-2 wks), so the whole car show-wannabe look/upkeep approach never made any sense to me...but to each his own....

    Re: Driveway improvement

    I sent you a PM.

    Re: Driveway improvement

    A few more pics.



    Re: Driveway improvement

    Sweet pics.....is that still "your" new garage?

    Re: Driveway improvement

    Totally agree on the car show, never go anywhre, wanna be's
    i became a film advocate after a couple of grasshoppers collided with the nose of my sc430 at a combinded closing rate in excess of 100+, at least thats what i was doing for a sustained period of time. the grasshoppers knocked quarter sized pieces of paint off. got the film shortly there after... no regrets and even when the nose looks more yellow from bug juices than amathyst whatever they wash right off.

    Re: Driveway improvement

    Wow, you have a good eye for photographing! Could you please post the pic of the car over head, and the one in the garage in high res? Thanks in advance!

    Re: Driveway improvement

    Would love to see a high res of the one in the darkness, looks sinister.

    Re: Driveway improvement

    Congrats on the new TT, please post PCCB evaluation when available. I am still not sure about that option.

    Nope, not your car, got stick. I need remedial heel/toe therapy though.

    Re: Driveway improvement

    Good choice!

    Re: Driveway improvement

    I will try to get some higher res pics up tomorrow. I have all the pics and stuff at work.

    The garage has been a long process.
