Other angles? Looks great. What’s involved with getting it to “fit”?

Quick wash and a coat of CarPro Reload to freshen the ceramic coat.

Default I put her to sleep for the winter. ​​​​​​​

This has been a tough year for everyone. I decided to buy her a blanket (car cover) this year. I am thankful she was available to provide me with some much needed therapy. Hopefully when it is time to wake her up in Spring (2021) the world will be a better place. I wish all of you a safe and healthy holiday season.

Very nice looking car and finish!

I used the CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0 ceramic coating for my car - completed it about a year or so ago. I've used the CarPro Reload product several times subsequent to that, on both my 911 and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

For what it's worth, instead of using Reload, you may consider using Meguire's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer instead. I've used the Meguire's product as an alternative to Reload and found that it works just as well, perhaps better. Plus, the pricing of the Meguire's product is much better...

CarPro Reload - 500ml (16.9 ounces) = $39.54 on Amazon...

Amazon Amazon

Meguire's Hybrid Ceramic Detailer - 768ml - (26 ounces) = $15.29

10mm spacers all around. Thinking I might go 5mm or 7mm in the front. Love the rears 👌

Installed a cup wing on Friday—a modified .1 decklid with cup uprights and blade. Now it fully matches the GT3 treatment up front with the .2 cup lip

Amazing build!
May I ask what size wheels/offset and tires you are running, they look perfect for the 997 narrow body.

Also, are those OEM exhaust tips?

Please and thank you!

Thanks! I really like Meguire's and tend to use it for most of my everyday products. I will definitely look into it!

I run GT3 specs, which are 33f/39r so that sounds right to me. My wheels are the GT3 wheels but I was running the same pressures on the Lobster FORKS.
