Default Just purchased a 993

I've owned multiple 928s a 951, Boxster, 2 Caymans, a 996 and 2 997 but this will be my first air cooled Porsche. I've always loved the look of the 993, and I am sure the drive provides something different but still familiar to my previous Pcars. Think I am getting a real gem too. It has been owned by two different close friends over the past 16 years and is in incredible condition, so I am really pleased to have scored it! Now if I could just get Express Shipping.....

Very nice. Now you'll be harassed into lowering it and removing the aero. Let me start!

I dunno, I kinda think the 'RS' look he's got going there is pretty nice looking. Correct the ride height and you'll have an even better looking car! Congrats on your purchase!

Yes, lower it and get rid of that thing hanging off the back. Looks nice!

Congrats! Those tasty wheels deserve a lowered stance asap! Agree, the wing has to go.

Thank you!
I truly would like to do that. And who knows, I may. I've done that before and it's great bonding time with your new ride

It's a factory aero car, which I really like, so it stays. My 997 is aero as well, I've always liked the aero look. I do like the ride height adjustment that's been suggested here.

Already thinking of the first mod and haven't even touched the car yet.
