Default Pics of new to me 993

As some of you know I have had three other 993's in the past.
Pics of new to me 993.
A few of when I picked up the car, the trip back home, at SUV height, Carrera III wheels, and finally with the JIC suspension (thanks BIll V) installed (aligned and corner balanced) and the addition of 19" inch OZ wheels.
Hope you guys like it. As always, I will be installing a few other "stuff" soon.

Great color combo. If you're paying two cents for opinions, mine is that it looks best on the Carrerra III's. Just the right balance. It's like Porsche styled the CII and III wheels for the 993.

The OZ's are too contemporary, prob best on a 991/981

Firstly, congrats!

I love GR and I agree that the carrera III wheels do work well on our 993s, however, those
satin black OZ wheels are aggresive perhaps best used for racing at the track. Either way
I dig the color combo all around and wow the "sporty bra' is cool too.

How do you like the Jic coilovers so far? I ran a JIC Magic 3"stainless steel turboback exhaust on my mazdaspeed protege and the quality, fitment, style, and sound was sweet.
Have fun

Thanks,
This is my second guards red 993. The first one was the cactus wagon. I also installed the black Ruf wheels on that one.
I think the black wheels go well on GR with the black trim on the 993. I will also be installing black powder coated tips from Darin, a TT front bumper, Aluminum trim around gauges, 997 shifter, three spoke leather airbag steering wheel, GT3 seats in leather and maybe red seat belts and duck tail.
The bra, came in handy on my 2100 (two day) mile trip back home.
I do have a set of OEM hollow spoke wheels as an option.

Fabian G,
I did have some one ask me yesterday at a barnes and nobles, how I liked my 991.
The couple could not beleive the car was a 95. Put a smile on my face....
