Default weekend project (RS Splitters and exhaust done)

I finally received the splitters and had them installed...IMO, I think they really completes the front end of the 993 without over doing it....also installed a custom made exhaust which sounds veyy good (deep and not too loud). I promised myself no more mods for the next six months!

Enjoy the pics and sorry for the IPhone quality...I am getting a real camera soon

Have a great weeknd!

I sourced ther spoiloers from Better Bodies Motors, Though I rather not comment on their customer service level, I am happy with the outcome.

Same goes for the exhaust, got them done at Wilson way out in Fotan...Honestly I really didnot like the guys attitude there. But they were way cheaper then then the next alternative and I have to say, the sound was exactly what I was looking for....nice deep tone, very similar to what you have got on yours.

Cheers

Hi Noah,

Mine is Turquoise Blue...I think Mexico Blue is a shade lighter...have never seen one in person yet. It might be just a different name for Riviera Blue...can anyone enlighten me on this?

Its just a local shop that makes their own mufflers, it was recommended from a friend who told me that they work on may 993's that goes on the track.

Matt - what did you do w/your LPMM modified mufflers? Despite my reservations re: fiberglass splitters, those came out looking very good...sweet looking car!

Matt - Just wanted to bump your thread up...was at 7-11 tonight and saw this month's issue of Hong Kong Car&Driver with your car on the cover. You need to post scans of the article...even though it's in Chinese!

Congrats...car is looking sweet!
