Pictures!

So, since I purchased the 996Turbo this last August 2011, I decided to do a few exterior mods and have the overall paint detailed, polished, and waxed. In addition, I added a Techart style rear spoiler which I had clear-coated in matte finish, painted the face of my Champion RG5 wheels in Seal Gray with matte finish, and finally added splitters in the air ducts. My friend helped me to take a few vanity shots of the car. Hope you enjoy them!

Side View:


A couple of Rear View shots - my favorite angles by the way:



Closeup of the Rear Spoiler and finish:


Closeup of the Splitter:


Finally, a few closeups of the front and rear wheels painted seal gray matte finish:

Thanks Guys for all the kind words! I guess the pics help as well!

Next step is to replace the oil sender unit, put in 710N Diverter Valves, and retune the ECU.

It's a tune from a local guy here in Southern California that has since been linked to a couple of high-priced scams. The only saving thing is that it was installed at the local dealer here under warranty. It was a $2400 tune 3 years ago! It's supposedly the X50 tune but I would not be surprised if it actually does nothing. LOL!

I have not decided on a tune yet...
