Yes on my parts car . Not the spring plate itself but one of the bolts that holds the spring plate to the trailing arm , it was frozen solid and i broke it in half ,never managed to get it out of the hole in the trailing arm. I should have used heat ,that would have probably done it.

The only way I got mine to break free was by soaking it in pb blaster and hitting it with impact wrench every day for a week until I gave up. THEN I solved my problem by lifting the car, inserting breaker bar touching ground, and lowering the car's weight onto the breaker bar. That 1000+ ft lbs did the trick

Is it better to replace the bolt altogether or try to salvage it that way?

Looks great! Tastefully done.

Butters944

If it comes loose ok, I don't know why you'd replace. Don't even know where you could find a replacement

Nice. Different but kinda captures that clean, light, non-poser, 80's look....Bruce

I like it, I've always liked the side stripes/ scripts on most P-cars. I'm planning on doing black carrera side stripe/ script on my 996. If it don't like the way it turns out, then it's easily removed.

I agree with what others have said, the stripe continuing past the rear wheel well is a little much, I think it'd look cleaner without that, and without the silver on the nose. But all in all, tastefully done...

Generally, I am more of a purist with a slight leaning towards only 'tasetful' mods. I have to say your's is very nicely done.

As someone else mentioned, the short decal on the front wing/fender looks a little out of place visually. It doesn't really anchor to any curve, contour or piece. It appears the drip rail is painted silver, that to me breaks the overall profile line in a negative way. 16" Fuchs and a lowered stance may very well give the look that last 1% and really make it stunning.

I really like it a lot(except that silver strip at the front) and I think the phone dials look good too. Would look even better lowered.

LP944

Il looking into the paragon products cool over kit, but that frozen backplate is an issue. I would have lowered it ages ago if it wasn't frozen.

The wheels on the car I believe are from an 86 turbo, stock sizes

Butters944

Man up and break it loose!

kab996

Try butters suggestion from the first page. That ought to do it.

LP944

once I do break it loose how do I know when its too low?

Butters944

You lower it to the absolute lowest setting in the eccentric, it'll get the car no more than 1" lower.

Here's the diagram I used to help figure out what I was doing:
