I was going to get my H&R Springs installed until I saw your car again and decided to get the H&R Coilovers. I totally dig the setup you have.

Did you have the car aligned and corner balanced after your drop?

is the front 997.2 bumper direct bolt on (or) needs changes to make it fit the 997.1 body?

Car looks sick!!! I have been contemplating a 997.1 vs. 997.2 style rear bumper & going for a similar look on my C2S, would love to know where you got the rear bumper? (Unless I don't see it on FVD? One I see has center exhaust & other doesn't have the grill at top)

Props, car is epic

There is NO difference as far as bolt on for the .2 bumpers. You will need to get different lights and modules. Thats it. FVD has the set ups.

As far as the exhaust if you want you can just get the middle exhaust port and find a good exhaust shop and they can just make a custom pipe to pop out. I have the muffler bypass and i saw it would be super simple to have just made something.

Great color, great wheels. Love everything about it except the twist side skirts. They change the whole look of the car for me as the twists are very eye distracting. Also makes in look like a 996 from the side.

these pics made me pull the trigger on a set of Avante Gardes

I take it that is an OEM GT3 wing/deck?

oh yea lol... for the price and look. i think they are the best things out. i just needed the turbo fitment for mine because i have low pros and its slammed. I have some 14mm spacers but the bolts for OEM do not fit the avante wheels. You have to get thiner ones. So waiting still.

The wing is not OEM its aftermarkets. It bolts on to your deck lid. You just remove the part that pops up.
