very nice

those back bumper things would have to go though, even if they are law :eek:

That looks really good. Not a huge fan of the wheels, but it's all good otherwise

they are awesome

I love the wheels, much prefer multi spoke one's like that, i don't like the 997 turbo one's at all for instance. Are they standard wheels?

Fr0dders · 16 Oct 2010 at 22:59

They are lightweight forged HRE P40s

*drool*

I'm generally anti-Porsche but that's very pretty...

I presume you inherited a gold mine?

Morba · 16 Oct 2010 at 23:19

Those alloys look really good on that. Liking the aero kit

Are you the same guy that has a black Lamborghini Gallardo?

Noni Juice · 16 Oct 2010 at 23:33

I LOVE THOSE WHEELS

Dr House · 16 Oct 2010 at 23:42

Love the HRE's. I cant think of any alloys that look better on a 997

Fett · 17 Oct 2010 at 00:33

I'll echo the same...good looking wheels that suit the car.

mjt · 17 Oct 2010 at 00:35

I'm not sure I like the kit, there must be something wrong with me

The HREs are lush though

His dad had the Gallardo Balboni yes. (now sold)

Nice car, the spoiler especially suits it

What's the crack with those bumper things though on the back? Is it US law to have them? If so I'll just consider it the trade off for your awesome license plating system

Awesome! I like that a lot. I presume the tints are there to actually serve a purpose in the Californian sun as opposed to aesthetic reasons. Not a fan of those at all on silver cars.

Lovely car there.
Curious about the tints, they look very dark. Are they standard? Is the windscreen tinted?

They are law here, they were introduced to help insurance companies out with all the slow speed impact claims. Essentially while ugly, they absorb the damage for a slow speed bump instead of the bumper, thus reducing the cost of the repair significantly.

Tints are not standard and no the windscreen isn't tinted, however all the other windows are. I'm sure the tint level is extremely illegal and in fact I'm probably going to have them lightened soon anyway. Over here in Florida the sun is baking hot, the tints help a lot with the sun and in fact headlight glare in the mirrors.

I can assure you it's a trick of the light, since the front bumper and the rear wing were both painted at the same time by the same guy.

That was my Dad's but yes, I often post up my Dad's and my own cars as we change them. He sold the Balboni and bought a GT3RS (2011) instead just recently, I think I had a thread here about it.

Those wheels are teh sex!

How much do they weigh?
