young grasshoppa serge is wise.
talk is cheap. lots ppl cannot step up to the plate when it's time to pull the trigger.. it's either financing or wife or in my case mom.

my next is pepto bismo green aka mont green on 964 rs

Any other pro's and cons to consider?

THanks for your thoughts
suspension will not be a big issue, a low sitting front lip will be an issue.
if you need to drive into any underground garages, or go over any ramps and speed bumps higher than 2 inches then better get a 997.2 GTS or a 991 car. I spoke to a guy who got 991 after 997.1 and he told me that it is indeed much easier to drive over bumps and ramps as its nose protrudes less forward apparently than in 997 aerokit or gt3 cars.

I had a koni car front bumper on my car for a month and got rid of it as I could not drive it anymore, so it is now just stock bumper with a small front lip - sits twice as high compared to normal aerokit and yet it is lower than any side curbs, hits speedbumps, etc. PITA.
