I’m pretty much stock except for clear side markers. The tinted windows was previous owner. Even the interior is basic stock although I want a 991.2 steering wheel so bad after seeing others. Also keeping the phone in case 2G cell service ever comes back in style.

I've never actually seen a 997 with the phone option. Thanks for sharing.

Not sure if it's considered OEM+, but happy with the mods that I did - Apex wheels, Eibach springs, Topgear x-pipe, Kistudios headlight trim, model designation decals on lower door edge. Not that you can see any from this angle though, haha.

a beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!whatever the color...

Default OEM ++


Eibach Springs, carrera Sport wheel upgrade, slight tints and Full FVD long tube exhaust s system. OEM plus is the way to go. With tons of Carbon and Leather interior bits Can’t wait for PCCM to come out.

Lol, it's Carrara White but taken in the shade so I guess the colour balance is all wonky.

I have kept it standard, although it already had the GT3 front. I'm always tempted by a ducktail or other spoiler option, but end up leaving as is. I had planned on changing wheels but due to the costs of complete new set of tyres, a range of suspension parts replaced, plus other planned work, I opted for a refurb of my standard Carrera S wheels. I didn't want the original silver and after considering darker colours like gunmetal, I opted for GT Silver which has the richer tone I was looking for.

A ducktail would look great on your car.

I prefer a more oem look to my 911.
