Wanna switch things up a bit.

I think tint would look good and I also like your idea of the stone guards, but I am on old school dude that likes that stone guard look from back in the day. I like red with black wheels, so I certainly wouldn't change the wheels. Everyone has silver.

Full paint correction and a high quality nano coating.

hmm... New rotors, brake pads, engine mounts, starter, oil change, transmission service, radiator cleaning, spark plugs replacement, air filter, cabin air filter, paint correction, wheel alignment, hood gas struts, TPMS, brake flush, coolant flush, the list goes on. I can think of many things that a 997 could possibly need.

ARE YOU PEOPLE BLIND?

I can see the friggin' outer treads from here.

It needs to be driven. It needs some rubber on the back half of the wheel arches.

Personally I prefer silver (non black) wheels, but if you want to keep your black wheels, I think tinted windows and black stone guards would look nice.

Only has 20k miles on it. It's an 08. New tires and maintained beyond well by my friend who owned it before me.
Just trying to deal with some aesthetics.

White Ruger Mesh wheels, white Porsche banner, tint, turbo wing rear deck. That should do it.

Amber corner lights to look more USA.

5mm spacers.

Drop the ride height about 1/2 inch.

Agree it needs some sort of banner, but I'd make it black

Meh. You can't see any of that stuff from the cockpit. 20 K miles on an '08? The thing has been neglected. Drive it like you stole it. You put 20 K miles on that beautiful car, and believe me, you won't give a rat's patootie what color the side markers are. Your biggest worry will be finding a good cosmetic surgeon to remove the wrinkles from the perma-grin on your face...T

Just picked up the mesh guards for the front grills at Zunsport. That area does collect some stuff.........
I've given up on looking in Canada - where's the best place to pick up some stone guards?
