What did you do to your 997 today?
Pro
I did this as well a few weeks back, amazing how easy it was and how much better they look. Amazon for the win!

An oscillating tool cuts the factory baffle very straight and cleanly for a flush fit to the windage tray.
Baffle with tabs removed on windage tray
Ignore the quick drain valve. Was temporary and replaced with LN magnetic plug but only have pics of that with the skid plate installed, which obscures the view of the deep sump
LN skid plate installed
Nice access to oil filter without removing the plate
Installed it bowed/sprung intensionally to keep it away from the deep sump and make it less prone to deflecting upwards if it contacts something like a tire gator

Now, you can argue that it's not a large enough dip, and/or it doesn't occur often enough, but the UIDS is designed to stop the dip. Period. But I'm not on their marketing team nor invested. Just excited for the new tech.

Lowered our shop C2S on Eibach springs.
A little torn. One one hand, the gap is reasonable and the car is leveled properly. Stock gap was 3-3.5 fingers while Eibach is 1.75 fingers all around. On the other hand, not quite as low as we thought it would be.

I agree with Petza 914 - it looks really good. Particularly the fronts.
Hard to tell from this photo, but it looks like the rears would benefit from spacers. 10mm or so.
Another thought from an appearance perspective is that with your black wheels and polished rim, I think the tire / wheel arch separation width may be influenced by the polished rim.
In other words, I think the eye may unconsciously judge the distance more so from the polished rim to the wheel arch rather than the tire to the wheel arch - maybe even more so on a black car.
Just an thought / opinion.
The car looks good though.

Here are some more angles of the car with the Eibach's installed.
@Ironman88 probably nailed it. The polished lip is likely causing an illusion of more wheel gap.
