Kind words...thanks. Keith she's riding on pss9's installed by a PO. The rear is a little low for me so I bought the extra set of lock rings and I'm going to have it raised .25in when they get put on. Are you running spacers on the rear of the car in your avatar?

Did you buy it from another RLer from CA? It looks strangely familiar...

I think the 1/4 inch raise in the rear is a good idea. Will give you a nice forward rake and balance the look.

Wasn't running spacers with those rims. They are 996TT rims. 18x11 in the rear with an ET45. Perfect offset for the 11s and flush out to fender line. They're on Chris's car now....(owner of DACH --cat by pass guru here)

Beautiful car. I really do love the 993 in all white, and the white wheels just set that car off! Congrats, and enjoy her...especially at 3am when you wake up and have the urge to go to the garage just to look at her! :-)

Not to be negative, but is the rear fender guard really that far off in color or is it just the photo? You can have those replaced if it yellowed and it will make a HUGE difference in the looks of the car. Just an FYI as the car looks spotless.

Enjoy!

Looks great. Gotta love a white 993.

We definitely need a local 993 meet.

Thanks again! Yes the left rear gard has yellowed....the right one is solid white not clear like the left.

Yes you have seen the car before....until last April she used to live in CA at John Velasco's house...thanks again John!

I have a few things to work on, like install a new (used from ebay) hid ballast, raise the rear end and add some spacers to fill out thwheel well, and some control arm bushings. The CEL has been coming on rather frequently as of late so that will have to be dialed in one way or the other....uses very little oil so I'm not worried about the top end...it's that annoying little light that bothers me.

Very nice, very clean red and white
We definitely need to schedule a gathering of Northwest 993 Rennlisters especially with the improving weather.
