Pics of my 996

Hello all,

In April of this year sold my boxster and purchased a 2002 996 in speed yellow (with factory side skirts and rear spoiler). Since then have gone through the mod process. So far this is what I have done:
  • FabSpeed Headers
  • FabSpeed Max Flo mufflers with dual tips
  • Bilsten PSS9 Coilovers
  • BMC Air Filter
  • B&M Short Throw Shifter
  • K40 Calibre Bluetooth Radar Detector / Laser Difusser
  • Champion 19" RS98 Wheels w/Bridgestone Potenza Tires
  • SmarTire TPMS with full function display custom mounted in dash
  • Eclipse AVN Navigation, DVD, CD player with CD Changer
  • Parrot Blue Tooth Cell Phone Adaptor custom mounted in dash
  • Carbon Fiber Door Sils
  • Clear Side Marker Lens
  • Aluminum Pedals
  • Aluminum Floor Board
  • Painted Sport Seatbacks
  • BumperPlugs and Door Plug
  • Chrome Hood Badge
  • Lumar 20% tints
Below is some pics I took this weekend.

Next on my wish list is:
  • New front bumper (cant decide between GT 2 type bumper or a front lip spoiler)
  • GT 2 type rear spoiler
  • FabSpeed Racing Cats
  • GIAC Flash Tuning
  • Color Gage Faces
  • Dash Airbag Strips (I have them but just havnt had the time/guts to install)
Question: Any opinions on companies to purchase body kits parts from. I am thinking about MASHAW and just wondering if anyone ever had any fitment problems with them.

Thanks

Absolutely love the wheels- they fit the car perfectly. I love the way a bright silver looks against yellow. Very tasteful!

nice car.

be prepared for a ton of prep work on the mashaw/nr auto bumpers....

you know what would be a better avatar. the same one you made cognac, get rid of the flames, and add those sketches of hawaiian flowers you always see on board shorts and tshirts.

nicely done. i love avatars that have a little more to do with the person than just the car. the only thing i would probably change now is a the lettering to a soft neon green to contrast the car.

the "just the car" avatars are a dime a dozen.

i guess that's why me2stoned's stuff always works so well for him

Car looks fantastic. What type of wing is on there now? Would that style fit a 997?

Thanks. Yes the leather surround was custom made by the shop that did my stereo install. Apparantly they worked through a porsche dealer to purchase the exact leather and thread from the factory so it matches nicely.
