Great to hear you're able to enjoy the 6 speed once again! Sorry, not interested in trades though but thanks for the offer. Let me know if you are able to sell it though as this car will definitely check all the boxes for you.

Thanks! Lip is from gt3tek. looks very subtle but completes the front bumper in my opinion. The fact that it's polyurethane ensures it doesn't get trashed like other lips.
Such a beautiful car, but out of my price range. If you don't mind though, can you share more details about the BBS wheel setup? How would they fare with a summer tire? I'm in California and looking to buy a 997 in the next month and I really want those exact wheels.
Thanks, I am flexible on price at this point as I could use the money so feel free to let me know what your number is. I dont get offended by offers.
Regarding the BBS wheels, they are the SR model (18x8, 18x10), part of BBS's cast line. I have 5mm spacers in front and 12mm spacers in back. I love them and actually looked forward to getting them on every year. The 997 just seems more balanced and compliant on 18s to me. They would be ok with summer tires but I wouldnt go wider than 285 section width in the back as they are narrower than the 12 inch wide OEM wheels. That said, I did run OEM 18 inch wheels for the summer for basically the entire time I owned this car (HREs are 4 months old) with 285 section tires. I enjoyed that setup way more but I knew it would be hard to sell with those wheels.

I am really looking to keep it around $36,000, so for me a 997.1 C2S with mid-high mileage is what to look out for.
Thank you for the insight on the wheels though! I also found "STARKE DESIGN BC" wheels the other day which I absolutely love. They have a similar look to the BBS, but more in line with the OZ Superleggera. All that's left now is to find a car to put the wheels on
That's definitely lower than I am willing to let it go for but thank you for the offer. 997 market seems to be picking up though so get one while you can!
