Green Machine - almost done
#16
Love it. Always wished 993's were available like this from the factory. The splitter will indeed balance that wing. I'll echo Denalobe:
Delete rear bumperettes (actually, it looks ok w/ them)
Add a set of speedlines (Yes! 100%)
Paint lower RS panels black (Absolutely)
Add recaro pole positions with green painted back (I'd go with GT3 seats)
Also, I'm sure it's on your list, but if not, get some front bumper plugs.
All in though, you have one of my top two favorite colors.

Looks great. At first I wasn't feeling it, then I realized the front splitters were missing and it looked off balance with the big rear wing (which I like). I also like the black wheels

as foreshadowed by wolfgang1, here are some more pics..
let's start with the guy who has 15 years experience making / repairing carbon fiber for Ferrari's race team..
who btw, took one look at the front splitter and said it's the "biggest POS garbage he's ever seen" and it might be easier for him to make a new one out of carbon fiber rather than trying to make the existing one fit..
he said it would be worth while if he made 10 of them.., group buy..? LOL
here he is repairing a F40 decklid..

btw, it is very difficult to catch what this color really looks like,, and even if that happens, you have to view it on a super high end display..
it really is breathtaking in person.. i'm sure when the car is complete, well, even now, it is KICK ***

It's interesting that you decided to finish the center reflector to match the body as your car at a quick glance looks like a 997. The continous red tail lights and reflector across the back sets us apart from the rest. I'd keep the wheels some contrasting color, maybe orange like Bill Verburg's unless you really want to keep the monochromatic look.

delanobe has a great eye for detail. Follow his lead. With this colour you have only one option between it looking wrong or right. You need to go with factory RS optic look to make it right. You can use RH3.6 or similar wheels if you worry on cost. Great work and enjoy your creation which ever way you go :-). Pics below genuine factory 993RS in Viper Green...

That car will stand out for sure. I'd put some carrera details on the side, lose the spoiler, and paint the wheels green.
I like this AP green 964. But I take my hat off to those who take the road less travelled. Nice work Jaa1.

the only thing I did was take the pictures, and continuously pester him to do get a color change.. he finally gave in, and I must say, viper / kelly green color choice was a home run!!
