Default Pictures!

So, since I purchased the 996Turbo this last August 2011, I decided to do a few exterior mods and have the overall paint detailed, polished, and waxed. In addition, I added a Techart style rear spoiler which I had clear-coated in matte finish, painted the face of my Champion RG5 wheels in Seal Gray with matte finish, and finally added splitters in the air ducts. My friend helped me to take a few vanity shots of the car. Hope you enjoy them!

Side View:


A couple of Rear View shots - my favorite angles by the way:



Closeup of the Rear Spoiler and finish:


Closeup of the Splitter:


Finally, a few closeups of the front and rear wheels painted seal gray matte finish:

Very sharp! nice photos. the painted wheels look very nice. the only thing I noticed was the exhaust tips stick out a bit too much; but that's coming from a 996TT owner with these..

bux, nice detailing job. you may want to look into slightly meatier tires to fill in the wheel wells. What size are you currently running? also, the engine bay looks spectacular; the coolant tank will need some preventative attention sooner or later.

I run 315/25/19 rear and 235/35/19 front. I may lower it at some point, just haven't felt the need to do so yet.

Tell me more about the coolant tank...what will it need and why do you say that?
