Default mmm.... shaved. No more bumperettes (in the front at least)

Finally got around to mounting the new to me Euro bumper and aerokit b splitters and all new rubber gaskets. Now i just need to redo the foglights and the the whole front end will be refreshed. I am on the fence if I want to keep these splitters or sell them for some RS ones.... thoughts?

I had some business in north georgia today... so I took the 993 and made sure I took a few spirited detours

Looks great. I really like your shot, it looks like you used a tilt-sift lens.

Really??? No photoshopping? Weird. Pretty big depth of field (looks in focus from a few feet in front of you until about 35-40 feet away). I would imagine that you'd be at ∞ at that distance from your car, obviously making the background sharp. What lens?

I don't know how or what you used for the picture, but it sure looks great. + 993 on shaved.

Very nice! Great pic. Would make a very nice avatar, too.


*side note, why do our sunroofs have that flap in the middle? Always wondered about that. Your photo reminded me. Thanks.

No photoshop beyond RAW adjustment, contrast adjustment and sharpening. Canon 1Ds Mark II, Canon 24-70L @ 55mm, f2.8, 1/640s, ISO100. All ambient light of course. Since the image is so small its hard to tell but the sharpness stops around the windshield and falls off greatly around the tail.

I installed the GT2 ducts on my TTS bumper.
I will probably keep the Euro tail lights for a few more hours.... LOL
