Default My 997

Used to have a 996 convertible automatic matte black carrera base and when I sold it I always wanted another one so I got a 997 4. Love this car but when I got it looked too plain for my taste. I'm currently in the market for some nice wheels cause I can't stand the stock wheels and the wheel gap so decided to plasti dip them for now to elimanate the wheel gap and also painted my DRL with tint spray cause they looked weathered and nasty till I get some LEDs. My next step is lowering with some H&R 1.2" along with a gundo hack. Here are few pics.

I agree. I like the car's design to be the star ... not the ear rings and nose rings that one may hang on her.
