New 944!

Yay, every year I take my car out of storage it feels like I just got a new car. Dropped the battery in and it fired right up. Beautiful 2.5hr drive from my parent place to home with out a glitch and today the fun stuff. I put on my new Design 90 wheels with 225's in the front and 245's in the back. I cant be any happier. The tires fill out the wheel wells nicely and I really like the look of the new wheels.




The Money shot!






OH, one more thing, I can and will be happier as I shed those winter tires and put on Michelin Pilot Sports!

that looks decent on the rear bumper, why not fill in the end caps as well and paint to match? might as well go all-out! i have done snubbed nose and not, kind of torn... for now my car sits stock, if i want to see a shorter nose, i go in the garage and look at the 951. :-D

no no no you need to show the fat rear tires in the pic!

So far I think XSboost90 has the tittle of largest rear tires. What size are they XSboost?

Yup euro rear bumper. Fiberglass and sits a bit more flush with the rear of the car. About 20lbs less also.
