Default Nasty little nipples (pic)...

The nasty little nipples are gone.

To complement the clean lines of the Euro bumper, the useless headlight washers had to go.

My body shop filled the holes with metal, a bit of resin filler, and primer. They will blend & fade the color coat next week.

After the paint cures for a month, the clear bra goes on.

(I know, too much sexual innuendo...)

Some posts just never turn out how you expect.

Looks great. I am planning some body work soon, including a full front bumper respray, and plan this mod. Will post pics in a month or so when done.

WAIT! Those NLNs put there to break up the airflow over the headlights, giving a cleaner aero frontal area and bring the 993 from 170 to 171 mph top speed. Anyone checked with any aftermarket tuners on this?

and I heard that when you're pegged at 171mph, all you have to do is hit the washer switch and the nipple jets will boost you to 172!

SHHHH! Must you give up ALL of the secrets????? Next you will letting out the secret of parking the wipers on the right side.......gives a little downforce, which offsets the weight of the driver...THE answer to perfect balance!

I actually turned the nipples upside down so it sprays water onto the Oil radiator and the A/C radiator with the push of a button. This lowers my oil temperature by 10 degrees with the engine tray on for high speed stability and allows me to run the A/C at the track without any raise in temperature.

Everyone has such good ideas for what to with the NLNs maybe I should cut holes and reinstall them.

Heck, I could even go with bigger ones.

No, woulda' left more crevices for wax.

But while I was in there I removed the headlight washer system (bladder & tubing). The cute little RS bottle is going in.

RS carpet kit for the back will be the next project in the quest to improve power to weight.
