Hi all,

After being a car junkie for my entire life and working my way through a series of German cars from a VW scirocco on up I decided it was time for the ultimate car...a 993, it was love at first sight from when I saw one back in college.

Anyway, it's a bone stock black 97 C2, 51k miles, picked it up in July and after a few months of reading these posts I'm on the edge of the slope...new rims, turbo s front bumber, HID's...all things I'd like to do this winter. And I have to do something to enhance that beautiful sound...it has the hifi, but who needs a stereo, just roll down the windows! It's addictive.

Hoping to get a good wax/polish weekend soon and will post pics, for now driving it as much as possible!

-Jay

Congrats. I really like the look of the turbo s bumper. What kind of rims are you thinking about? Do you have the stock suspension? Depending on the condition of your rims, you may get more bang for your buck upgrading the original suspension with 51k miles than changing the rims.

You will definitely enjoy the car, but you just gotta mod it. Make it your own. Modding is half the fun,,,I just got my LPMM's back and on, and makes an awesome difference.
