Aside from the silver (I like any color on a 993, but for some reason I don't love silver on anything), your car is one of my favorites, if not the most. I LOVE the interior with chestnut and CF, and the exterior is just as sweet with the fikses. Wanna trade? Looks great, good luck with it.

Nice job, Anir! Looks fantastic. Can't tell where it was painted at all, and silver cars are often the most difficult to match paint-wise.
Also, I was the one who expressed some curiousity about the aesthetics of the wheel well after the muffler bypass install and it's good to see in your pictures that there's no problem. Of course, even my concerns didn't stop me from ordering the bypasses, which will be installed later this week.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy the car!

John, you'll enjoy it. It's just plain fun to listen to. Went driving with my brother and his gf yesterday down the coast. His gf remarked that she could clearly hear my car from his Miata when I got on the gas

Anir,
The car looks great. Glad it has been fixed up nicely and is back into the garage where it should be.
Enjoy and keep it on the pavement!

Looks great Anir...actually, better than before with the Euro front end! Did you have to replace/repair the passenger wheels from the accident?

Thanks again. This weekend, Rod Birch will be upgrading the sound system. With a little more tweaking, she'll be perfect.
Ken,
A new right rear quarter panel and right front fender were installed. Fortunately, the passenger door managed to somehow survive the accident unscathed. I didn't get to see the work done in person, so I can't accurately comment on the difficulty.
Freier,
Both right side passenger wheels were replaced (not rebuilt).
Three weeks ago, a gentleman in a '88 Mustang rear-ended my wife's '03 Range Rover while she was stopped at a traffic light. Totalled his car, but the RR suffered only damage to the tailgate, rear bumper, and muffler. So, now we've got another car at the body shop!

nice work they did anir. i recall in a past post that you said you weren't going to track the car again and plan to get a dedicated car. what car did you decide on? also just as an aside --------- did the insurance cover the cost. i've been a little paranoid that any damage done on track won't be covered by my statefarm insurance.
