After so many years of...well, let's call it what it is - "love" for the 993 - we finally have this one (1996) safely in the garage!

Has a few Ruf bits, (wheels, Steering, Tower brace, pedals, door sills, touch of suspension work), carbon fiber, aluminum gauges. Not sure about the Super Cup spoiler yet, but must admit it's growing on me. Fister Stage III's on the way. A few pics below:

The PO had a very consistent theme in mind when doing that car. Everything works together nicely...looks good!

nice, you have 50% of the mods done... now you just need to put a turbo on it and flares to have a GT2

Very nice Can tell us what year and how many miles? Looking at it I'm thinking at least a 96 because of the 3rd brake light but the PO could of added that since you have the GT2 rear wing.

Do you have a side profile shot of the car?

Big congratulations and welcome to the family! I can verify that this is an OUTSTANDING example of the 993, the wheels are sick (i.e. - I want them) and that it has gone to a worthy owner.

Great looker! Reminds me of my 993 cup. Have you considered putting some side skirts on it?

Yeah, its a '96 with 40K. I took several photos the other night but a standard profile was not one of them - no idea why I didn't do that as well.

I have been debating that but I think skirts on a C2 take "something" away from the lines. An S due to its wider hips, I feel a bit differently about. Since this is opinion, it'll probably change tomorrow.

Beautiful! I especially like the aluminum bezels, shift ****, and brake sleve. Anybody know a source?
