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...

Hey, thanks! That's definitely the look I am going for.

PorschePRH: Your car looks good. I like the look of the C4S bumper in the rear! Haven't seen that one done before. Personally, I don't mind mixing and matching different sections from different aero kits. In the end it's your ride and if you like it, that's all that matters!
However i do think the car could go a little lower!

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.

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.

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.
