Porsches for Philipilihp!

Got a couple epic Hot Wheels today... managed to win some bids for prices high enough that I’d rather not mention. Such is the price I pay for 917's...

Overall the actual differences are minor besides the opening engine cover. Things I noticed were the headlights, overall stance (maybe due to wheels?), and the general sharpness of the details. I guess you’d expect the 100% to be a full step above the mainline cut.

Now for more Weissach goodness.
