You hit the nail on the head for me too. I walked in the garage one day and thought "what don't I like about the car"? and then it hit me. But once the GT3 went on I'm back in love. And yeah, it's all but a direct swap. Looks great!!!!

Looks great as is. Maybe some darker tint and a smoked LED 3rd brake light? Oh, and a door plug from bumperplugs.com

Car looks absolutely stunning and is a huge improvement compared to a stock 996. I think that the aero kit MKII wing would look great on your car.

Ceramic coating should hold up better. I had mine powder coated twice and both times they started to turn white due to the heat...

I would say so myself...I spotted my car on the dealership lot from 2 stoplights away...walked into the showroom and said "I wanna test drive the Guards Red one, don't show me black, silver, forest green, midnight blue or gray...just grab the keys for the red one, and if that one does not do it for me, then prepare the keys for the Speed Yellow!!!" LOL. I saw my red 996 and she jumped out at me from 100 yards away and i knew she was the one. I see your 996 is Guards red too...looks nice man!

Gorgeous! I have a bright red mercedes, love that color!

I like slightly tinted tails. A gt3 wing could help it look more aggressive too.
