Pics Posted-Some Mods put on-997 S

Hey!
Well got the car back from the body shop on Friday. Had them install the Gt3 cup bumper on with vent. Also had the body shop repaint my hood because of some rock chips on it. Re-did the rear bumper also that had some cosmetic problems from the previous owner.
Today I got the wheels thrown on with Porsche wheel caps. The wheels are Rennworx wheels that at first I did not like when they were in the box, but on the car I simply love them! They hardly needed any weight on them to balance and they ride incredible! The tires are Michelin Ps2 which are very quiet compared to my last tires.
I also put on the Fabspeed tips but have not had the chance to take it to the speed shop to install the exhaust and the H&R springs. I think i might not install the springs because of the front lip...
Here are the photos!!..

good job, everything looks great, will probably look better with the springs but it might be better to get used to the new bumper height first, then drop it.
if you go in/out driveways with the firmer suspension you scrape less...
also, you might want to consider spacers, since they will help fill the wheel well until you lower the car.

Yeah--I was going to do spacers but I wanted to see what the tires would look like first. I put 305's on the rear and thought that it might be a little much. I still might not put the spacers on since i like the look right now though, and will be lowering it more than likely this week.
Man I love these wheels so much now and glad I did not sell them.
Got that smart key mod also but have not put it on yet.

I love this car more and more everyday...I am so blessed to have one and thank God everyday!

To be honest, I really like the rear end of the 997. Thats one of the reasons why i bought the car.
If i ever did get a spoiler, the only one that I have seen that i really like is the Gt3rs spoiler. --Probably wont get one though

Looks nice, but be very, very wary of high-speed oversteer, which, in my opinion, is the scariest type of aero-impact to experience. I would view a matching rear wing as a necessary safety modification rather than an aesthetic option. If you like the GT3RS rear wing, maybe you should just spring for it sooner, rather than later. It would be a real bummer to spin the car at triple digits (or even far less since aero impacts you at much lesser speeds), and PSM may well not be able to save you under those circumstances.

Looks very nice.

Try the Techart springs. The H&R lower about 1 cm more than the Techarts, or jump to the Bilstein PSS or similiar straight away.

To save money and time, you might as well go for the dull black unpainted lower GT3 lip when you must change.
