Nice pickup Ilko. Another decision tree for you. Should I drive the Turbo or the 993 today? Maybe do both (not at the same time). These are the decisions we all want to have.

Enjoy every mile.

Welcome back Ilko. IMHO, if you do an RS tail, then you need to do RS fronts instead of the aerokit ones. I put an rs tail on a 993 (2 993's ago) and had the aerokit fronts and it always bothered me. Just my .02. Great looking car. You need to get rid of those awful seats. LMN if you want to sell them

I'm actually quite surprised at your decision Craig! When I saw the steering wheel thread I thought you were putting he back to stock, hehe!

Hmm aren't the RS touring and aero kit splitters the same? I'm not talking about the big RSCS wing back there.

The RS splitters go up on an angle on the sides. The aerokit ones are like yours.

Ah, I see! There is a subtle difference. Never noticed that before.

I thought whatever happens in Hershey, stays in Hershey. Wait, the hotel was actually in Harrisburg. But since I'd just come from Las Vegas, maybe I got confused.

And I'm not even getting into (redacted) that went on earlier over at Cactus' place............

Wow, nice car and color combo. Do you care to explain how a car like this simply falls into your lap? The only things that seem to fall into my lap are problems at the office.

cool!
Nice get...

ya know, I saw an orange 997tt in the Bend, Oregon area when I was there on vacation in July.
I would not have bet there were two PTS turbos in orange...
It looked awesome.

Thank you Mark! There are actually 5 orange 997.1TT coupes that I know of (Coochas here has one, ordered it new; quite an entertaining thread if you have the time to read). And 2 cabs. So there might be more, but my guess is not a lot more.

Enjoy your new to you 993 !

What's not to like about the Aerokit tail and front splitters ? I have both on my car and it looks terrific, just like yours, except in white. I guess if you're really going to do a color change you might as well go Gulf Blue with orange accents.
