If I was a woman I would so have to have sex with you right now.

F' Ed, I'd have sex with the car. LOL!

I must have missed it but what exhaust do you have and who makes the rear valence? What else have you done to the car performance-wise?

Hey do you know if Porsche would do custom colors? Someone told me they do but wasn't sure. I love the orange on the GT3 RS.

Alright you sickos. There will be no sex to be had with anyone here. And, T, if I find you in my garage with your pants down making sweet love to my car's tailpipes, I'm breaking out the shotgun

Actually didn't go with FVD. Got a BBI Stage 1 (i.e. their loudest) exhaust. Unfortunately, something back there is throwing a code. Dunno if it's an O2 sensor or a bad cat. Either way, not too happy since the system is only a few thousand miles old.

Porsche will do ANY color your want (paint to sample) as long as you pay for it (unlike BMW). There are a few RS Orange turbos around.

Sucks on the code Ed. hope you get it sorted out.

I'm digging that orange. Paint the roof black or swap for a CF roof, black wheels, orange brakes...etc... Yummmy!

Real nice job Ed. Still looks clean but mad aggressive. Must sound fierce.

Thx Kerry. Sounds pretty good. But it's impossible to make a TT sound great (i.e. like a GT3)

Honestly wasn't sure how I felt about the wing. Thought it a bit 'ricey', but I like it. Carbon fiber blade and intakes are great little details that offset any ricey-ness in my mind

Had a long day today. But managed to pick it up from the shop. Tired as all hell, but I had to wash it. My OCD wouldn't let it sit dirty in the garage

One pic before I dried it off and put it away for the night. The paint work and bra look absolutely horrendous in the sunlight. Once I can find a bunch of time, it's gonna be a 2-3 day detailing blitz on this sucker. Better pics later.
