Great transformation! Amazing to look at photo #1 in 1st post and then the last few photos. Looks like a totally different car.
Great photos too!

Great looking car. I love the subtle changes that have totally transformed the overall package. What's the ride quality like? I have a 2000 Boxster that I'm looking at lowering with Bilstien coilovers, but do not want the ride quality to suffer. I had a 993 that I put Bilstiens with H&R springs and the ride was quite stiff. I love the lowered look but do not want the ride quality to be uncomfortable.

Sorry about the extremely delayed response! The BC Racing coilovers ride great, ride quality feels better than stock over most road imperfections. When the road gets very rough, you do notice that the car is stiffer and lower.

Beautiful photos- how much post processing do you do? What do you use for lighting? Are some of those night shots done with light painting?

I've seen a lot of metallic silver cars over the many years - but I think the one 997 depicted in these photos has the single best silver paint job I have ever seen. The uniformity of it is absolutely exceptional. And I don't think it's an illusion based on the fancy photography. The silver finish is liquid-looking - and appears to be an actual material rather than an applied color.

Whoever did this work at the factory is a master. (And I would doubt it was done by any robot...)

Breathtaking photography. Just... wow. Makes me want to go put a coat of wax on mine (which also happens to be Plat Silver).
