Default Installed duck tail and recaro seats

Thought I would post a few pics of my car with the new lightweight wheels, duck tail, recaro pole position seats, 6 pointrace harness , carbon/aluminum shifter and 3 spoke steering wheel.
I will be installing my Euro Turbo S front bumper, Aero B1 side skirts in a few days and will probably replace the lightweights wheels with a set of turbo twists.
By the way, I will be selling the front aero font bumper with the B1 splitters and fresh polar silver paint, if any one is interested....

More rear shots please (I sense a trend here)?

Car looks great as is just as it will with the Turbo S front. As to the wheels, to me wheels are like a pair of shoes, change is good. MY02s look great and the "twists" are absolutely timeless (Can you tell I like them?) on a 993. Keep both sets!

Oh yeah, more rear shots please.

Al-- Been busy; nice!

Looks like you went from amber to clear side Euro turn signal indicators at some point, too.

Me like - very rare in America & increases safety, too. Did you install, or previous owner (assuming US VIN)?

I love pole position seats in a 993! So appropriate!!

I've always wanted to do this but haven't come around to actually going further than thinking about it.

I would love to hear your inputs on drivability on the streets and whether this could work for a daily driver.

These were standard on 993RS models -they had it right back then!

Actually, I had considered putting a duck tail on my car too, but here in Switzerland, the traffic control division is extremely restrictive in respect to changes you can make to your car. My mechanic said he can't get it accepted, you can only add Porsche approved parts...

Porsche has a long history of factory cars with ducktails...they must be really strict!
