This photo processing is called HDR (High Dynamic Range) and can be overdone at times to make a cartoon like image.

Default photo effects

Irfan View photo editing offers a similar affect for color and b/w. I got it free from a link on the USPTO.gov website. They have a program for converting pictures to be consistent format for submitting images for trademark applications. (sorry it's not a 997).

I installed my 997 gt3 smile grill. I haven't glued it on place yet, I only did the cutting and fitment as I didn't really know what glue to use. It needs to be really strong when it comes to fast speeds, much wind and water etc. Pleased with the rest since I'm trying to get more black details.

I'd be so nervous making that cut.

Drove the tail of the dragon and some other nice mountain roads with my wife. We had a beautiful 65 degree day today and there was almost nobody out there. My wife hardly ever drives my Porsche but she absolutely loved it.

I didn't trust my own hands completely, so I acctualy asked my friend for help. We did it together and the result were amazing. I need more black details.

Gave my 997 a wash and wax. I also took a vacuum to the front grills. I was amazed at how much stuff was stuck in there.

I would have been scared sh!tle$$ making that first cut. I would have gone back and remeasured for a month. Your guts resulted in a sweet looking job. Congrats.

Thought about doing this as well. Does it do anything more than looks? Feed the 3rd radiator?

Added the Aerokit wing today and switched covers to an OEM aerokit cover. Saved 3 lbs. Sorry for the crappy garage lighting.

Looking nice. I'm often tempted to do the same. Or else go with a Getty duck tail + Sport Classic front lip. Will you be adding the Aerokit front lip?

Yes, it's on order. There were only three left in the country when I ordered so it's taking a few weeks. Hopefully I have it on by mid March.
