Thumbs up Want to see what I've done to my 996?

Hello all,

I've had my car for a few months now and Porsche ownership has been fun. I'd like to share my update. Enjoy...

Bumper removed to shave license plate holes





Aftermarket Aero painted






I was able to install the Aero last weekend but since It rained I wasn't able to take any pictures. I'll take pics and post updates of the after Aero once I have time.

Thanks for looking :thumbup:

:corn:

After seeing pic 2 i thought you were painting the car in camoflage colors

Looking good, cant wait to see it all back in one piece. Going off topic a little but what tint do you have on the windshield?

They drive great. It does rub a little on the rear when I go up or down steep driveways but normal driving I don't have any issues.

I have Solargard Ceramic 70% on the windshield. It's almost invisible but it does a good job at keeping the heat out.

I finally had time to take some pics of the car with the aero on. The sideskirts were a pain in the *** to install but it's worth it.

No scrape issues. I guess my car isn't low enough to scrape. I still angle down driveways though.
