Some before and after pics. She's now sporting 19" avant-garde's, newly painted calipers, smoked LED's , replaced rear emblem, amberectomy, wet sand, wax, polish, painted rear wing/bumperettes and some fresh paint. Just got a Fabspeed performance package installed with black chrome tips and custom center caps not pictured.

Would have spent $160 on new motor mounts. Your car really needs them from the pictures. Looks nice otherwise.

Obligatory comment on any rear pics posted on the forum - but in this case he's probably correct

It's about time for nearly all 996s with original engine mounts to get a parts refresh. I did it as well & it lifted the engine a good inch or so.

If you do it yourself there is no additional cost and it took just under an hour for the whole process. My car is pretty clean underneath, so if your car has higher miles or corrosion, it may take a little longer. On Pelican Parts it states the time to do the project is 3 hours, so I would be cautious about using a dealer/indy.

Thanks, I think I’ll give it a shot...what’s the worst that could happen, besides my engine falling out!

Actually this was a promotion color that the factory messed up and didn't use the correct color code, so it's just "orange"... Unknown... they were fun but they are long gone...
