Nice looking cab... I am also curious about that rear lip-spoiler, not bad and I have seen them on eBay. I am looking forward to the wing in the UP position with that lip... Thanks and cheers,

heheh JDUB, don't take any offense. u know me.

those wheels are horrible man. they're like $200 a piece and are inferior to the stock wheels. i'd seriously consider putting the oem wheels back on until you can get a proper set of aftermarket wheels befitting a 911.

and those headlight stickers are just about the worst thing you can do visually to your car. it's like your 911 is the masked avenger or something. seriously consider removing them and going back to the oem look until you can splurge on a set of say... champions/HREs, etc.

thank me later.

No offense taken, I kind of think the 996 has a little to much glass on front, I guess Porsche thought the same when they went to 997 style lights. JMHO. The covers are aluminum. Lets take a poll, how many people don't like wheels or covers. No offense will be taken. That's the fun with these cars everyone pimps them out to own likes. JW

headlights should always be untouched. period. that's my vote.

i don't like wheels that are cheaper than factory wheels.

Nice, unique look....has a good flow to it. Would add the aero rear bumper extensions as previously suggested and change up to an aero wing.

I like the covers. It eliminates the rice. Anything to mask a mistake. All that glass on a german car is definately a mistake. I think Porsche knows that now. Question is, do you?

I love the way the covers look, that's why I'm sporting them too. Although, they' re a little more low key in black............

so because I bag on silly looking, superfluous headlight covers, you then go on to dog 99.999% of 996 owners who CHOOSE to not sport them?

unreal
