Hi everyone,

Finally got around to making an introduction thread that I'm really trying hard to not make into a build thread.

Bought the car about a month ago, and since then have done a mild Window tint and added a set of oem Turbo II widebody wheels . I was apprehensive about widebody fitment but they are just perfect, no regrets. Much more contemporary than the lobster claws and the color match is a welcome bonus.

The car is a Meteor Grey Carrera S with a whopping 39,000 miles on the clock. It has the sport seats, sport chrono, sport exhaust, pasm. Interior is black and extremely clean, but I don't have any good photos at hand at the moment.

Next plans= upgrade stock stereo to a more modern navigation/bluetooth unit. Also plan on removing the Carrera S badges and changing to "911S" with red S.

Thanks in advance for all the help I'm sure to get from you all!

 

Congrats - the wheels look great, I was looking at those for my '05 997 C2S, and I'm keen on your Carrera S to 911S badge swap.

 

I'll have photos up this weekend, the badges will arrive this evening

 

Very cool !

 

Congrats and welcome! Meteor is a great color on the 997. Enjoy it and if you need anything don't hesitate to ask!

 

I actually just ordered the clear side markers from you this morning...I wish I could've not been a dummy and combined shipping on the emblems I ordered a couple days ago...oh well!

 

Thanks for the support! Share some photos when you get everything on

 

Very nice. Welcome and enjoy!

 

Nice & enjoy!!!

 

Those wheels do look great on that car. I personally wouldn't do the red "S" but to each his own.

Nice car!

 

I like the red S....

 

Thank you!

It's funny to me how opinionated many (not you) are regarding the red S. I've heard "IT LOOKS LIKE A FRIGGING HYUNDAI" and "PORSCHE SHOULD HAVE MADE IT RED FROM THE FACTORY!!!!1!!"...and I don't think it's that big of a deal either way.

I ordered an extra S (the script will actually be 991 style, as it was cheaper) to paint red, and if I hate it I will be able to easily go back to my stock emblems.

We'll see

 

Congrats - looks great! Please share more photos of wheel fitment and enjoy the ride! What did you have previous?

 

Welcome to 6speed! Enjoy your new ride! I like the red S myself!

 

I'll take more fitment photos ASAP. The front fitment is identical to stock... Rears definitely stick out much further, but still not beyond the fender. It certainly gives the illusion of a wider rear end.

Previously had lobster claws... The turbo iis bring this thing into the modern world
