I hear you loud & clear - my 993 is in parts all over the garage. What started as a late Winter project to pull the rear bumper in order to replace with a newly-painted one, has turned into:

• Remove front bumper in order to refinish & fill license plate holes
• Repair & refinish both splitters
• Remove & replace all rivets, fasteners, etc.
• Sell turbo twist wheelset and purchase new MY02 wheelset
• Sell rear tires and purchase wider rear tires
• Polish complete exhaust system: catalytic convertor, mufflers, clamps.
• Send a few pounds of brackets & fasteners out for re-plating

And so on & so forth.....

Can't beat the look and fit of OE parts. Never liked the S/turbo bumper on narrowbody cars, looks like a "bodyshopped" car. Good call on going back, and those splitters add an aggressive touch.

Superb job, very nice.

loooking good, Nice work.

Sounds familiar! ;-)



Thank you.... and I couldn't agree more. I like the fact that the three body modification I made (turbo ducts, RS Splitters, and rear Split Grill) were available in the Tequipment catalog from the dealer back in 1996.

Thanks!

Everything came out great blue TTop! I really like the split grill paint job, very clean and simple, but suits the car nicely.
The sducts are sweet, I plan on adding those on my list of things to purchase in June.. Great pictures too they've been added to my external drive, I love the wheels and stance, but one question though, how did you find 996TT wheels that fit NB 993s?? Ive only found sets with 11" rear wheels and I would really like to find a set to fit my NB coupe.thanks

Blue TTop

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks. I picked up the wheels from a local mechanic who had them sitting on a shelf. I seriously doubt they are OE.

did you change the fog lights in the S-ducts? The originals are a little weak, and are very rounded. Yours look flat.

Blue TTop

The fog lights came with the ducts from Porsche. They are Hella's and come with 5W bulbs. Wire connection is a direct fit.

The before picture below shows the 5W bulb. After is with the LED's from Super Bright LED's. I can post part numbers on the ducts if you want them.

looks great with the brighter bulb. I like the look very much, Are you going to shave the bumperettes?

David in LA

Do you have a link or part number for the LEDs you used? TIA

Blue TTop

I decided to keep the bumperettes.

Blue TTop

I purchased the LED's from Super Bright LED's: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...sp=%2F1157.htm

Part#: 3710-CWHP6 = 37mm Festoon bulb with 6 High Power LEDs in Cool White.

Hope this helps.

levtron

Thanks for the part numbers. Looks like I need to do the hella upgrade to take advantage.
