I finally got around to taking some pics of my car this past weekend. They are nothing special but I wanted to comply with the request for pictures.




AS you can see the car is all stock except for the rims which I just added.

My question is, does anyone know what kind of front spoiler/bumper this is? I would like to upgrade the look of the front end of the car without having to add sideskirts as well...


Any thoughts?

 

is it just me or is that rear wheel sticking pretty far out? could be the camera angle or something too, but something doesnt look right.

 

Yep, those rear tires were 295/35's 18R which rubbed just a hair. I had them replaced with 275/35's this past weekend. The rims are the 997 Carrera III's. BTW, if anyone is looking for a pair of Yokohama ADVANs with ~100 miles on them for a good deal, I know someone that has a pair...

 

Hey!? is your license plate growing hair?

 

It just forgot to shave...

 

Looks like it is a "Turbo Look" front bumper. Is it fiberglass or Poly? If it is a Porsche OEM part it will have a parts number on the inside.

 

Those shouldnt stick out like that...are they from a 997 Carrera 4? If they are you need to get the 997 Carrera 2 rears, they fit without rubbing....295's are fine with the right size wheel...i have 295/30/19 on my 997 19x11 rims (wider than yours)....and they are noweher near close to rubbing....excuse the dirt....

 

Welcome!

Yup the front end looks like a 996 Turbo bumper from this angle...

 

Newport, the rears are 11" and they don't rub with the 275's. RE: C4 vs C2 rims, I guess I didn't do enough homework before I took the plunge.

 

yes those are c4 rears....the c2 rears are 10's.....

 

Thanks, on the phone with wheelenhancements.com right now to see if they have 10"s in stock for a trade. They really don't look bad at all but now knowing they're not the right size, I have to get them changed.

What kinda cost would I be looking at to widen the rear end of my car?

 

lol...like 5-10k in parts labor and paint....

 

Alrighty then, $500 for the trade is much easier to swallow. Sheesh, pretty expensive lesson learned here.

 

thats what this board is for!!!

 

Believe me I know. I got banned for a week for posting my wheels in the classified section (I wasn't aware of the 50 post rule) not too long ago and I was going through withdrawals during that time.
