Just got the car back today and thought I'd share some pics!








The car will be going to Premier soon for Clearbra installation, now that all the parts are put on the car finally!

I have to say thanks to all the great vendors here on the site: Ben at Wheelsboutique, Dan at Vivid, Mike at AWE-tuning, Alex at Sharkwerks! Its all your guys' fault!!!

I'll eventually get more pictures taken after a thorough detail.

 

Looks great man! Thanks for the business!

 

Car looks great! Nicely done.

 

thanks buddy ....need anything give me a call thanks again !!! car looks great

 

Beautifully done.

 

That looks awesome! If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to have them painted and installed?

 

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Whirlinturbin: Paint and install for both side skirts is very similar in price to paint and install for the bumper alone (going by shop hours here). You can find many places that will give you a deal on it, but I decided to get all paint and installation done at a really good body shop (Anthony's Auto Craft in Marin).

When I originally posed the question of where and how much it should cost, many people here said to choose a really experienced body shop with a good reputation. The body shop I went to deals mainly with Ferrari, BMW, Benz, and Porsche. I'm very pleased with their work.

 

gorgeous...congrats

 

looks awesome man, get a full photoshoot when its all done!

 

Very very nice work!!! more pics please

 

Looking great...

more details please... Ruf front from where, how much? What model are those HRE's, size, offset?

what other mods, engine wise... let us know and bigger pics please...

 

best skirts out there for the 997 imo

 

Looks great! What size wheels are you running?

Here's the details,

Body work:
Ruf RT12 front bumper from someone who had on sale here. Originally planned to put on his car, but sold the car, so I got it for a great deal (~3K). Its my favorite piece of the car

Carbon fiber rear diffuser from another 6speedmember, v35.

Techart sideskirts, just added

Last piece of body work I want to add is the RUF decklid, but man that thing is expensive (~7K)!

Suspension:
Lowered on PSS Damptronics, and I must say that this mod was worth every penny Improved handling from stock. The car was dropped to GT3 height, then I had it raised a few mm for better driveway/speedbump clearance.

Wheels:
HRE 590R's, 20x9 and 20x11, with Michelin PS2's (not sure of the offset, but Ben at Wheelsboutique would know). Flat black centers with Chrome 3" lips in the rear.
Feels lighter, a little noisier, not as bad of a ride as I thought it would be versus stock. The car is still a pleasure to drive hard as well as cruise slowly in.

Interior:
Dension GW500 with Bluetooth and iPod, from Eric at Bumperplugs and installed by Sharkwerks.
Rear center console and key ring painted black, from another fellow 6speeder.

Engine work:
bone stock still but considering EVO/Ruf Supercharger in the future.


Once I get my clear bra, I'll feel a lot better about driving fast on California roads and highways.

I'll take more pics with higher resolution then. Thanks again for all the comments.

 

I like what you have done to it and the flat black finish on the wheels is great, I actually preffer it over the regular "gloss" black finish.

What's next,headlight finishers in black or a supercharger perhaps?
