Thanks in advance to Macky for posting for me...

I got a set of BBS RS-GT 19x8.5, 19x11 for the 997S. They look awesome in person... Some of you might remember the set I had on my Evo (and moved on to subgraphic when my Evo died).

The guy holding the wheels is my boy, Super Soap! Soap (a contraction of his Cambodian name) is the BOMB installer... He was a little nervous because of the size of those things, but he did a great job. The shop is VIP Garage (www.vipgarageonline.com) - if you are ever in VA, they are HIGHLY recommended.

Thanks again to *chris* for posting the pics.

I don't know? "Giant Donkey Cock" :2funny:

Is it possible to bust out a "plain one" with no text...? I will use it on other sites.

Thanks again for the hook-up.

I got 50% on the sides and 35% on the back window. Sounds light, but it looks good and is legal out here.

I am going to do the Ruf conversion at some point - it'll hit me for about $35K (supercharger, bodykit, paint, install, etc.). That is a big chunk, so I'll wait until I get a fat tax return or another big pay raise.

Let's see if I got the new sig to work...

Chris in SD
07-31-2006, 07:36 PM
Let's try again

Macky - any suggestions why it looks distorted?

*chris*
07-31-2006, 08:01 PM
whew ...35k, yah thats a chunk of money for sure. still be nice when its done though.

Macky

which one? the sig?

remove the "=xxx" in the image tags. that distorts the picture.

Chris in SD
07-31-2006, 08:05 PM
Fixed it - check your PMs though...

*chris* - I think the Ruf conversion is worth it. It's a genuine Ruf car, done by the Ruf Auto Centre here in the US - fully backed by Ruf and even warrantied by Porsche NA. As far as resale goes, it is platinum-level. Imagine if you could buy a true HKS Japan-tuned Evo - it would NEVER lose much value. If you didn't check the link, you should - it's really a cool site and you can give me your $.02 about the body kit (I would keep my current color).

*chris*
07-31-2006, 08:12 PM
omfg do it! but it says its like 23900 installed on the site ...or is that just the engine upgrades not including the exterior?

Correct - the bodykit is $10K + paint. They use factory paint, etc. Ruf is to Porsche what AMG used to be to Mercedes (before they got bought out). Aren't those cars sick???? So you like the bodykit? I think it looks tough plus that carbon rear Turbo-style wing is badass...

*chris*
07-31-2006, 08:22 PM
yah it def does look good ...the wing is nice too, really compliments the bodystyle.

Some of those Gemballa cars from the late \'80s and early \'90s are OTT like that. I am a much more subtle guy.
