Some nice pics here, I really need to get some descent photos done, but I'm not quite happy with how I want her to look. I can't lower due to garage ramp clearance issues & the turbo front end scrapping, it was a beautiful day so went for a blast & took a few pics.

As for the rear I'm thinking about this upgrade:


Still not sure how the GT3 RS rear bumper will look with a turbo wing!

Yeah that's what I was thinking that it would look "OK", maybe too much like a Franken-Porsche!

+1 w/Platinum. Lovely color. Curious: Did you order the car with the rear branding as "PORSCHE 911 S" or did you get that done post purchase? I like the red "S"...

you can always get a 997.2 narrow body stock bumper, and get a nice rear black CF diffuser. would look great without too much mish-mash.

thank you.

i did the badging work myself, after seeing a few of my 997 friends take their cars to the dealer to to the re-badging as well as a few 991's that took their 991 to the dealer to have a have a custom PORSCHE 911S badge done. from those examples i took the measurements and worked from there.

full instructions + measurements below, you can buy the oem badging on eBay.

sup EC! thank you

oem pasm suspension (wish it was 1cm lower via s-pasm), and spacers yes.

wide body wheels for the rears (basically a builtin+16mm spacer), and a 15mm spacer on the front (8inch front wheel, your fronts are 8.5 - you would need a 5-7mm spacer for your fronts if you wanted the same look).

getting a subtle set of silver/grey Carrera S decals for the doors and a nice classy front lip.

I finally have decided to lower my 997C2. Thinking eibach + 7mm front + 15mm rear. It should happen soon.

Are you adding the 991 front lip?
