Some slopes are steeper than others.

And I spoke to sun coast today to order euro lenses in amber for the bumper and added a couple more while I'm there goodies. I need to call my bank and restrict all access to my account! I'm definitely sick!

I'd bet a turbo conversion (with a 2nd mortgage to finance it) would slow your role a little.

Thank you for supporting our economy and hopefully reducing the National deficit while adding to yours.

Know exactly what you're going through. Have my car less than 2 months and already ordered new suspension and looking into the LWF and clutch upgrade. Been eyeing all the new rims that may look good on the car but already have two sets. Debating on Fister IIs or IIIs and considering getting new stereo and speakers. The more I come onto this forum the more I want to buy.

Damn, by the time I get to start writing something, I realize I either already have it or want it too so I have nothing else to add. It's all been said.
I'm afraid to add all the parts and mod bills together so I have a better understanding of the true cost of ownership sofar. Most of the stuff that I purchased can't even be seen from the outside of the car. You'll have to know where to look in order to understand the fine difference.
One thing to add though, the GF understands and let's me do it.
Great thread,
Ed

You have an understanding GF. I couldn't tell my wife how much I paid for the car. I told her its and old 1997 and she assumed it was a lot less than the 2003 996. And good thing she doesn't know how much suspension and Porsche labour costs.

Tarbender. When I debated 2 or 3 fisters I had not heard either in person. The 3 is not much louder than the 2 and if I knew then what I know now I would have gotten the 3s.
My gf was holding me back from modding my car so I dumped her!
She did not even realize I had done anything to the exhaust till we were in a parking garage.

really...she didn't notice the Stage ll's? My wife used to love to drive mine...UNTIL I put the Stage lll Fisters on, not anymore.

But, more seat time for me then.

Ben, those stickers anywhere near complimenting to your 993's color?

I'm thinking probably not, but thanks for being the guinea pig.

Now, back to your reguarlly scheduled moments of denial.

The stickers are a little on the teal side.
They might compliment my a green
Thanks again!
