I finally got around to having her go in for the nose job. While she was in there, I also got her to tone up her sides a bit too.
Here are quick before and after pics. I will take better pics of her to post up soon� I am due for a proper newbie intro thread here.
Nice. It looks likeit would improve forcing air into the radiators. All I'd wonder about is the extra drag at speed not having the tubo to push at top end.
Thanks for the compliments. I really wanted the oem MKI areo bumper and side skirts but they were just too expensive.
He is new guy I found. He is currently working out of his garage. Really cool guy and does good work for a lot less than the shops.
Yes, that is on my list of to buy. I am not sure of what sizes to get yet. BTW, my car appears to be lower than other stock 996. I am pretty sure I have stock suspension too? I am scared if I get spacers it will rub?
haha... pumpkins were the first to go.
Precision Porsche. Pretty good for after market. A couple imperfections my body guy fixed. One is still there though and it is bothering me.
Those are genuine BBS LMs. 19x8.5 fronts and 19x10 rears.
...for you MKII 996 folks.
For us '99 to '01 folks, our options are either to go with an aftermarket bumper like mine... or change out the whole front (fenders, headlights, trays, wires, bumper). I went with Precision Porche's bumper since it is polyurethane. There are other aftermarket ones made out of fiberglass as well.
Actually, it is probably cheaper or the same cost to change out the front end then going with the aftermarket bumper. There are several folks on here (or other forums) that have done it. In hindsight I would've gone this route too if I had known better. I bought the aftermarket bumper before I even got the car home!
