Apologies for no pics at this time.
i understand, mine was just not the fading, the right side tab was broken which caused it to lift. I figured, just replace the whole thing and call it a day.
Took about an hour.

That's a whole 'nother story. Makes sense.

Did you replace your stock bumper with the one currently on the car? I picked up a 02 996 and have been looking to add that style of bumper (or maybe a C4S conversion) and skirts. If so where did you pick them up? Thanks!

Bumper: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU996G2AERO.html
Skirts:https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/00004480215.html

There's of course aftermarket options like Getty and such but OEM kit looks best. And that's a completely biased opinion.

Had the wheels refinished - they'll be redoing them since there are some imperfections, but we're going back to silver from black.

That bumper was installed by the previous owner.
He planned on doing a full aerokit, but decided it cost too much.
I added a Aerokit I (Taco) spoiler, side skirts, and now the GT3RS deck with carbon fiber wing.

Was awesome to meet you and the suspension went on easy, a sign of a car that’s been well cared for.

Your car drove great with the ohlins, at least, it very much reminded me of mine - so I hope after you put some miles on it, you love it and think it’s great too.

Was great to work on and drive a 911 again today, thanks Mike for the opportunity and kind words. You’re a cool cat and one of the good ones in my book.
