    New PICS

    I now have my colored crests, clear sides and new stems and though I needed to post some new pics. The car now has multiple coats of Zaino.

    Wow what a shine. I feel like if I ran and jumped on that fender I would slide all the way into the middle of next week. Gotta get some Zaino and see what it does to my black S

    I'm a big corn lover. Looks like several acres of it right in your own backyard.

    Yep, look at that corn. There is nothing like really really fresh corn. Are you able to help yourself?
    Oh by the way the car looks fabulous also!!!

    Re: New PICS

    We have some of the best corn in the world in my backyard. I don't really notice it because it is a part of my world. I did par-boil about 8 dozens ears and they are in my freezer and if you get over here I would be more than happy to give you some!! ( My loving wife took all the photos and she is insisting upon the kissie face icon!!!!)

    Re: New PICS

    Nice job with the wheel crests and clear repeaters - the car looks tight. Zaino seems to have really brought out that shine - your tempting me to break from the P21S product line looking at that shine factor! Great car, and having lived in that part of the world for 5 years, enjoy the Fall before winter arrives

    Lovely shine...She looks absolutely beautiful! I would have personally taken the pics on a flat road though, the grass interferes with the lines of the car

    Re: New PICS

    very very nice. I think red, yellow and black are the best colors on the 997!

    Wheels are top and your car shines perfectly!

    I just can't understand those small crap rear bumpers for US regulation :S

    I would take them off immediatly!

    Red911,

    That is ONE BEAUTIFUL RED 997S!!!!

    Man, I love how sexy these cars look! Be truthful now, is that the HOTTEST car within 100 miles of your home now?

    Once I get my Zaino polish on my new Arctic Silver 997S tomorrow, I'll be postin' some pics of my own.

    Very nice, but just one comment, you need to line up the crest with valve stem of the wheel to give it the symmetry it deserves.

    Re: Wheels

    As far as lining up the center crest with the valve stem I assume that you mean the crest on the valve stem? The crest on the valve stem is next to impossible to see as you can see from the photo. So, what do you mean? I could line up the two crests but it would do nothing for the symmetry of the car. And as far as cleaing, they are somewhat of a "pain" to clean but I've had much worse, i.e. the old BBS wheels that BMW used to use on their cars!!

    I am looking at aftermarket wheels. What do you think of these?

    Re: Wheels

    The first wheel is a Champion RS 98.
    The second wheel is a Kinesis F110.
    The third wheel is a Fikse Profil 5.
    They are deep dish with polished lips and high quality forged and ranged in price from $4100 - $4500 per set. They are also substantially lighter than OEM. The fronts weight around 19 lbs vs 23 for OEM and the rears weight 20 lbs vs 27 for OEM. That is for 19 x 8 and 19 x 11. Go to wheelenhancement.com for additional pics.

    I can't decide which ones I like the best.

    Re: Wheels

    red911,

    Orient was referring to the bottom of the crest on the wheel, lining up with the valve- the bottom of the wheel crest should point to the valve stem.

    BTW, the rims you have look the best,IMO!

    I agree with SVN, I was never much a fan of the sport design, but they look beautiful on your car, I would keep 'em
