Default Washed + BBS LM's (Photos of my 993)

I just washed the car and it looked so good in the setting sun that I had to pull out the camera and take a few shots. I hope you like them.
I will take the car to a bodyshop next week to install the MaShaw 3.8RSR tail and GT2 front. I will also re-spray the whole front of the car, including the hood and the fenders because there's so many stone chips.

thanks!
I know it's a double bladed sword with the re-spray but to be honest, I will be much more happier looking at my pristine new front end and worrying about the effect on the re-sale value than looking at those horrible rock chips...

Plus I will have it done in a very reputable shop that does vintage cars etc. So not only the work will be top notch but I will also have receipts to prove that it was just a re-spray due to rock chips.

Awesome looking car and very worthy of some DACH-X sound. Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! Those LM's look classy against the silver exterior. Looking forward to seeing the updated pics with the new aero kit. I need to remove my bumperettes! Any thought of removing the headlight washers and filling in holes since you are respraying fenders?

Juha,
Stunning photos! Any Photoshop work?

Did you install the Better Bodies ducts, or did they come with the car?

Thanks! I will surely post pics when I get the car back.
I think I will keep the headlight washers. You never know when they may come handy...

thanks! I shoot in RAW so a little tweaking is always done in PS but nothing major. These shots are 95% as they came from the camera.

The ducts were on the car when I purchased it from Chuck. The only things I have added/changed are the LM's and, the new headlight lenses and HID's.

Looks great. I think it would look better with some new mats. Good luck with the respray.

I think it will look better with no mats (or carpets) at all, black dashboard, RS door panels, silver gauge rings, Sparco steering wheel etc. that are going in (and coming out) very soon...

Your car looks great. I've seen plenty of pictures of 993's with the clubsport aero kit but for some reason yours looks especially good. Beautiful car.

Great looking car and fantastic shots. Personally I think your car looks perfect with the RS splitters and "regular" RS tail. Classic. Is it me or have there been lots of great pics posted in the last few days?
