Wow, congrats! That's quite a list of mods you've got there. That's going to be an incredible car when you're done.

I just got my first Porsche, so I'm still thrilled with it bone stock. Maybe next year I'll start looking around for little improvements.

Nice skirts on the car and bumper. Very cool car.

Very Nice!! Congrats on your new purchase.. Modaholics class starts every Friday at 8AM :) I'm still in denial that I have a problem :eek: May I also make some MOD suggestions for you....
Painted Bumperettes would complete the rear end nicely... Don't forget to buy 2 Door Plugs from Eric.. one for the Drivers door, and one for the lock in the center console. Of course a Silver Hood Crest is needed to match your silver 996.. I can go on.. but I will stop.. hilarious.

PS Also get rid of the cassette storage and get the empty bin.. unless of course your a Cassette kinda guy :)

Oops forgot the hood crest which is on my list not sure about the rear decklid... Bumperettes are on the above list....Door plugs...Great suggestion will do...I think the car has bumper plugs on it...

Mods are theraputic damit! At least that is my excuse!

Actually it looks like the prior owner had the holes filled.. Very cool! Missed your bumperette MOD .. hey if you have a video camera.. hide it so you can get your other halfs expression when shes it!!! What a cool surprise!

welcome sandoval.. :) hehe nice 996 .. looks great :)

enjoy it.. i know you will lol..

let the modding begin....

Congrats on the new car.

Congrats on the purchase......... Very Nice...
What's Up?........ No Chip/Headers and Air Box Modification?:D

Guys, here I was thinking it would be at least a year before I spent any money on this car and now you're putting all these ideas in my head. And I'm still in my first week of ownership.

Hmmm.....

guys...guys...put the brakes on... These are STAGE I mods...HA HA!

Nice!! I bet you won't sleep a wink waiting on your new Porsche. ;)
