OK, here it is, before and after on a 1999 911 C2 Metallic Black 53K miles. Next is the rear wing and possibly rear Turbo bumper.

Bumper came from Los Angeles (Tony 310 930 4114)

Side skirts came from somewhere in California JH Concepts - they are running an ebay auction at the moment item number 220230600615.

Thanks for all the compliments. I am in love with my car all over again. Being my daily driver I had to change her outfit in order to keep the "spark" going .

I am not sure what material it's made of but my paint guy spent about 4 days on the bumper and side skirts ($450 total paint job), he said he had to bake them in order to remove some oily substance before priming, paiting, and applying three coats of clear.

See above posts for where I bought the bumpers and the skirts. Here is the comparison the day I got her and a few days ago . Added turbo wheels, smoked corners, turbo bumper, tech-art side skirts.

Thanks,

I don't know yet about the wing but I was thinking an Aero kit Cab wing, I'm not a big fan of the taco wing, the Cab wing is more Turbo-like.

Can you post a photo of your rear wing?

Thanks
