as for the turn-signals - i think you may have to change the headlight assembly - or can just change the reflector?

Front bumper test fit is good, They just need to trim the reinforcement to be able to completely mount it.

The shop decided to use a different method to get the Turbo bumper to fit.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi everyone,
Im fairly new to Rennlist and wanted to say HI
. I picked up my 996 last year and just starting to look for upgrades and modifications. Wanted to post my build and keep everyone updated.
I first started by pick up some Champion wheels from a fellow member (thanks Izzy):
The wheels were in good shape (no bends, cracks) it had some curb damage and the chrome were peeling on some parts of the outer lip.
I decided to disassemble the wheel and have the chrome stripped. I first had the lips stripped:
after the stripping was complete the wheels had a nice reverse look to it (chrome face/ Raw finish outer lip), but too bad the curb damage was visible. So i decided to change the color of the face and polish outer lip.
I had the face stripped and I painted the faces with a textured silver/grey metallic paint.
I decided to Sandwich mount the face in between the inner and outer lip/dish. After putting together the wheel I am happy with the turn out.
Now I have to order new assembly bolts as the old ones were all rusted. I am still debating if i should get gold or chrome ones.
My gold wheel bolts finally arrived.
here they are on the wheels.(will get some better detailed pics)
Also last month the Mod Bug hit me very hard. I decided to add a GMG Roll cage, Gt3 style bucket seats, and some coilovers.
After following a few of the DIY's online (thanks to all the guys that took the time to share on the forums) I was able to install pretty much all the parts in 1 weekend.
Below are some pics of the night I finished. (Please don't mind the messy garage)
Shortly after I had some goodies arrive at my office. (Thanks to Tony at Precision Porsche)
TechArt style front bumper with large front lip.
GT2 style rear wing
I also purchased a beat up Turbo bumper on eBay for really cheap (going to have the shop modify it anyway to fit my narrow body). And was able to come across some TechArt side skirts to complete the look.
Here are some pics of the car at the shop:
Test fitment of the sides skirts and Rear spoiler have good fitment
Rear bumper needs to be modified as it bows out about 1/4-1/2 and inch and exhaust needs to be relocated to fit the new outlets
Front bumper test fit is good, They just need to trim the reinforcement to be able to completely mount it.
Here are some pics of the modification on the rear bumper:
The shop decided to use a different method to get the Turbo bumper to fit. Instead of cutting down the middle or trimming the bumper at the wheel well, they decided to trim certain areas of the bumper to achieved the desired shape.
Here is the fitment after the modifications:
I stopped by the shop the other day and here are some of my parts that were painted.
(Sorry for all the cellphone pics, I will try and get some nice detailed shots when it gets out of the shop)
I will be picking up the car next week. I will post more pics as soon as put on the wheels.
Sounds and looks like some really nice visual upgrades
Keep us posted!
I was looking for some reviews on Precision Porsche with regard to their Fibreglass parts.
So they check out fine then?
Fitment on Precisions Porsche products were very good. No major modifications required. The body shop just had to do the basic prep work before painting them.
Wow seems like they butchered that bumper. With all that filler work, you're not worried about it cracking if you get tapped?
What kind of CO's are they?
Also 24k or 18k?
***UPDATES***
I picked up the car earlier today. Here are some quick shots with my camera phone
I didnt add the front lip (I was scared to crack it on the way home, going to get a urethane version instead). If some one needs a large TechArt Lip PM me.
I still need to lower the front about 2-3 inches
Here's is a pic of the rear. Need to add extension for my exhaust tips.
After looking at the rear for a while...I feel like something is missing. What do you guys think about the TechArt rear add-on for the turbo bumper:
Thats it for now.. I will post more as soon as I install my racing seats, Rims, and some other goodies that I have on my list.
definitely improves the stance of a narrow-bodied car
as for the turn-signals - i think you may have to change the headlight assembly - or can just change the reflector?
Its started pretty strong with the roll bar, seat, etc, and stock outside appearance. Maybe throw on the wheels and call it done.
Then it got totally out of hand for a car with 300hp. This over the top body kit look was somewhat cool like 15 years ago. Never been a fan. I would put the stock body parts back on it.
Go big or go home!
I like to fly under the radar personally. Power, handling and safety mods only but if it gets your heart going then good for you. Enjoy.
Any completed "regular" or raw shots without all the overdone HDR processing? Looks cool from an artistic perspective but doesn't give a true representation.
