Default My first Porsche. Took her to see the leaves change.

2006 997 C2S - GT Silver - PASM - Sport Exhaust

She’s a little creaky, but she’s all mine.

Default Couple more !

Front plate has to go. Four screw holes... doing that should be illegal. Got bumper plugs but the idea of drilling bigger holes makes me stress out...

Manual. Short shifter.

Yup, but you're usually better off buying an Ontario car than Quebec.

Not the greatest pic. But I took off the license plate frame and used some black plugs from lowes to insert in holes. Made them a little bigger but they fit in nicely..
You can zoom in on pic!

Thank you !

Did you paint them to match your colour or the black was close enough ?

Mines GT silver... not sure what it would look like to use any silver plug.
