Thanks guys!

In regard to the wheel weight, after looking around, 22lbs isn’t bad for a 19x11. Lighter options would have cost thousands more, and still didn’t look THAT much better to me.

Looks nice. 22lbs is not bad at all for 19x11 wheels.

My exhaust sounds so cheap and wimpy before it warms up. It sounds like a rattling tin can. Lol I want to hear yours.

I had the bumper filled in. If I need the front tow hook that badly, I probably have more problems than trying to figure out where to hook the tow strap. LOL

We can, but my Golf R does the snow a lot better. 😃

Good point, here is the before on the rear bumper

Yeah Loomis Root. The lift was fine for what I need it for, the install from them was HORRIBLE!

The back is more subtle than the front. It’s about 2 inches lower, wider, and has the center exit exhaust. I should get some side by side pictures with another silver 997…

I like it without so far. I don’t want a big attention wing that my car can’t justify.
