A few new mods to my 911
I recently had a few mods done - with the car getting there in age and as I use her as a daily driver through the entire year,
she needed a sprucing up....
I replaced the front bumper with a C4S/Turbo bumper (couldn't find one on ebay in good shape so
I bought new from the dealer - and am glad I did because that's the only way I could get the correct
center and side ducts etc), and thanks to this forum my body shop cut the bottom off my old bumper
to make a bracket. I then had them install the clear shield across the bumper, hood, and fenders, and
also had them respray my rear bumper that had seen some parking scuffs.
Then I bought a set of Carrera III wheels off eBay that were in new shape from a 997 owner.
Finally, I installed Race Deck garage flooring, bought a Makita 2HP compressor, a race jack, and the impact
wrench that Doug recommended to complete my garage setup....

Great job and the car looks terrific
Can you post another photo of the front bumper?? Maybe you can also post the price or PM me with the price of the bumper. I am also interested in upgrading my front bumper. TIA
