Don't be so hard on yourself. Tastefully done and to each his own. I was much more pure in my tastes when I bought mine in 2000. Now I say it's time to have fun regardless of what the peanut gallery has to say about it. Don't stop...

PorschePRH... that p-car looks like it belongs on the track!
Hey, thanks! That's definitely the look I am going for.

However i do think the car could go a little lower!
Thanks for the great compliments!

Well, the rear bumper is the stock 2003 C2 rear bumper. No changes have been made to that part. The front bumper is a C4s unit that I bought from a board member already painted in my color (that was lucky). The rear decklid is the original C2 decklid with the retractable wing removed and a fiberglass "insert" wing base screwed in. The wing itself is a replica GT3 RS wing in clear coated carbon fiber that will hook into any normal GT3 wing base as well.

In terms of ride height, I do like that the PSS9 lets me (relatively) easily change the height. I bounced up and down before settling on this ride height. It allows me to go over speed bumps and up and down driveways without too much, if any rubbing.

I got a 3-year alignment package at NTB (they have some sweet new alignment machines that are completely level on the ground now), so if I change the height, I can get a free alignment. That cost $150, and should be worth it over the next few years.

Thanks!

Yea, it's a Porsche, but it's still a car. I have a daily driver (loaded 300C), so I figure I could have some fun with this car. When it's not appropriate to bring a boy racer to the party, the 300 does the job just fine.

Everything I have done over the years to the Porsche can literally be undone in 1 day and sold, so it's not the end of the world.

how much extra bhp does the super charger give you and is it a big hassle to fit it?

Is that the Techart front spoiler lip on the yellow 996 posted by Barebones?

(I'm torn between that front spoiler lip and a GT Porsche-OEM front bumper cover.)

new turbo bumper

I have a new in the box never installed turbo rear bumper you can have for $600.00 - you pay for the shipping. Here are a couple of pics of it installed on my car.
