Not to be rude but I think it looked better in the 1st picture with the 997 rims. Did you sell those or do you still have them? Those were the 19's right/

where did you put the subs.....?

You got a 996 for Christmas? Christ.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of what you've done to that car, but I've been accused of being conservative in taste - to me the perfect car is one that has been modified so tastefully it looks like it's factory, it just looks like the factory did a helluva good job. The front bumper puts me off, I really dislike the "holes" in the side, and I like the lobster forks, go back to them!

But that being said, be good to her and she'll be good to you - don't forget to respect the power and remember the golden rule, "never let off the throttle abruptly when you're turning hard!"

front bumper looks like an entirely different colour, and like it was a rough sand with paint spray bombed on it - again though may be ****ty pic quality

unless you're doing donuts and want to learn about the car... controlled you know, blah blah - sometimes it's worth playing with a car in a parking lot for a little bit to learn it's unique attitude

lowside67

fair enough... my advice holds UNLESS you're in a parking lot doing donuts, thanks vancouverltd

Dude lowside67, my dad has a gt3, an new m5, and a cupcar...i know how to drive fast cars..

Let me clarify a bit. This post was intially posted by my 12 year old son, Connor. The car belongs to his 21 year old brother, Clint.

The photo quality is terrible. The upgrades on the car do look much better and I am Porsche purist. The angle doesn't truly reflect how the stance of the car. We installed PSS9's along with 18' Techarts. Yes, 19's look better but the narrow body 996's was not engineered to run 19's.

My friends that race on Grand Am's Cup Series run 17's. The 18's are the best comprimise for the street. The GT3 Wing (Thanks Larry Herman) and GT3R Front Spoiler are Clint's choice and again, it looks better than the pictures.

We are a Porsche fanatic family. I have been fortunate to own some great Porsche's; race some great cars and now my son's are passionate as well.
Some Rennlister's like modifications, and that's where some of Clint's ideas came from by his research along with Connor's in getting feedback from fellow Rennlisters.

We will post new photos when the weather warms up and you can appreciate the difference. Again, thanks to the responses we've gotten on previous posts as we have had a blast on our "Family Project".

Great job getting him starting on Rennlist at an early age!

Dell:

Thanks for the response. You actually responded to a posting earlier this year in which someone was debating with Clint on modifications. We appreciate your response. I am a lucky guy. I've got two great son's and we share our passion for cars with Porsche being the #1 mark.

I just hope I am fortunate enough to have sons of my own one day that love the brand as much as I (and wife) do. I would even buy them their first P-Car!

Mother

I hope you don't mean there first car would be a pcar! However I'm up for adoption.

LVDell

If they can prove at 16 (or whatever age is required for a DL) then I would definitely consider getting them a P-Car for their first car. Obviously not a new one, but one they could still love
