Heh. One of my life goals was to buy a 911 before I turned 30.

I made it with two weeks to spare.

Anyhow, welcome! I'm new as well. Your car appears to be Erika's doppelganger. I like the GT3 bumpers.

Not so much the colorweigh on your car, but my fiancee tells me I have the mindset of a 90 year old.

For those who asked about updates, here are a couple of pics.

The car now has an OEM GT3 rear bumper, Dectane LED tailights, and a 997.2 GT3 RS Style Wing.

I know, I know, 997.2 wing on a 997.1.
I got a deal on the trunk lid that i just couldn't refuse. They were practucally giving it away. But, I am open to trading the trunklid and wing for a 997.1 style if anyone happens to have one that they don't want.




I had to remove the mufflers in order to fit this rear bumper. So the car is currently sitting muffler-less until i brainstorm what route i want to choose regarding exhaust.


I was also getting tired of looking at all the scrapes and scratches on the bottom portion of the front lip. So i put small rubber seal around the bottom for "added protection" and i kinda like the look.

**For those that appreciate creativity** Enjoy:





Thanks for viewing!

Juan,

What product (rubber seal) did you use on the front lip? Can you post a link specifying what seal you used and where you bought it?

Thanks.

It's just a garage door seal from home depot held on by 20lb double sided mounting tape. About a $13 mod in total. For that price, you can't go wrong. You can peel it right off if you don't like it.
