I haven't posted in a while, but I recently made some small but very meaningful changes to my 997. I wanted to make my car more timeless, so I switched out the wheels for the classic and timeless BBS E88, took the gt3 decklid off and swapped in a Getty Design Sport Classic Ducktail which I then had Chris Sterling of Sterling Auto Con meticulously prep, fit and paint the decklid. The results are more than satisfying and reminds me of a modern Singer. The car was shot by IG: @MNLphotoyo

It's gorgeous! I usually don't like the thought of butchering a Porsche unless it was tracked often, but yours is put together very well. Even the black leather Recaro seats look amazing in it. Question - which motor does it have? ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
What are the specs on the wheels including offset front and rear?
Nice car!

Nice job. Very sleek car. Gotta love BBS. They look great. I've had LMs and LM-Rs, and I'd love to have the E88s someday, for maybe a different car (with five lug hubs). The Getty SC duck tail looks great! Enjoy it in the best of health.

WOW...well done...that is as perfectly beautiful of a 997 as I've ever seen!
The wheels are exceptional.
The ducktail completes the GT3 bumper perfectly (visually and I suspect aero-wise)...and the seats...just gorgeous!!!
Is that Basalt???
