Default Finally, Some Decent Pics of My Car

Today was sunny, and I have a new digital camera, so thought that I'd share some photos of my ride. The previous ones posted were fuzzy or night in the best lighting conditions. Yeah, it's bone stock, and maybe not too exciting, but it's fun thinking of the mods to come.

Wow what a real beauty. It looks brand new. What are you planning in the way of mods??

djames, I plan to do the suspension first, with HDs and RoW (sp?) coil over springs. Next would be some wheels, something akin to 3.6Ts or maybe some cool five spokes.

I'll probably start the mods next year. This is my first season, and I thought I'd find out what the limits/lap times are for the stock setup first. I can only imagine how much better the suspension will be - it does seem pretty rough even with only 33K miles on it.

Nice! Our cars are twins!

I'm in a minority here, but I love it bone stock! Its like a time machine back to the 90's and my youth!

The mod thing gets addictive. The raw material is SO INCREDIBLE!

Nice ride. It's amazing how much better the 993 seems to look at the RoW sport ride height
than US cloud altitude. I think you should go for it when you get a chance.

Thanks for sharing Dean. Your car is sweet.

I've only had my car a year . . . and I've been sick the whole time.

Nothing wrong with "bone stock" ... that's the way mine is. Nothing wrong with "mods" either. Just a matter of personal preference. One of the nicest things about the Porsche is that straight off of the lot, these cars will out perform 95+% of anything in their class and there is room to spend bucks to take them to the level the owner desires. Nice looking car!

Nice car Dean! It looks perfect, just lower it a bit and put some 18's and a short shifter, and some Super Cups and Clear front lenses and a different steering wheel and HID lights and a Cone Air Filter and a LWF, and take the rubber pads off the front bumper and sell your fog lights and replace them with holes and get some Sport seats and change the radio and get four big amps and sub enclosures, get some more speakers and nice DAS Rollbar and a some adjustable sway bars, and cup motor mounts and splitters on the bottom of the front and a different fixed TechArt Wing on the back and don't forget to buy Adrians 993 Book form Amazon and change your oil to Mobil One, and change your brake fluid and delete the headlight washers.........
Welcome to the world of the perpetual slippery slope epidemic! Chris

Thanks, guys. Chris, I think was actually hoping that someone would give me a more comprehensive list of mods to consider.

Don't worry, I plan to drive it every chance I get. I wonder how the paint will look after a few DE days...it does have some rock chips and such, but I guess they're hard to see unless you're in person.
