A few more pics

Withing 30 seconds of ownership I knocked the RS front splinter off and had to duct tape it back on! lol

After a few hours in the car, I've come to realize the 996 GT3 is the perfect balance between the old world air-cooled cars and the new water-cooled, electric assisted, etc. Yes it has a water-cooled engine but my senses tell me I'm driving an air-cooled

Very cool.
Congratulations!
Go with silver colored wheels. Will do wonders IMO.

Very nice!
Front splitter lip things have a very short lifespan. I no longer have it on the car for around-town drives.
I painted my stock wheels black and am very happy with the look.
I agree with you on the OEM wing too, but it's all personal taste - do what makes You happy.

Now go drive it like it's a rental.

It looks great. Little bit overdone inside imho but looks like a real track tool. Anyway, you'll never sell it again ;-)

(Took mine to Spa-Franchorchamps in Belgium on Tuesday)

Congrats! Guards Red is the best colour

Keep the RS rear wing (if you do decide to sell it then note that here in UK is it much more expensive than the OEM wing), and change the wheels
