Default Introduction

Hello-

Thanks to RL for all the amazing help in finding my dream 993. I picked this up in Seattle without even seeing it firsthand since I was out of the country! (thanks to good friends, an excellent previous owner, and a good PPI).

Here's the specs:
96 C4s
60k
M030
Motorsound
Aluminum trim
Hardbacks, etc

I've already begun down the slippery slope--HID's, removing aftermarket wing..wheels next?

Some early pics with the wing (I only have dirty interior pics, so those will have to wait!). Also some shots today with my soon to be gone M5 (for sale, I'll miss her terribly)....enjoy!

Alan

+1!!! I've got a 540 sport touring, too. Funny how common the E39/993 crossover is!

congratulations, and welcome to the Double Black diamond club-hey, maybe that's another "The Duck Club" kinda sticker thing we can do.

Anyway, you my slippery friend, need a C2S rear split grill on that beauty.

Have fun, and drive the wheels off of it

Nice ride, welcome!!

I would keep the M5, you will soon learn the 993 is tight on space.
