Default After 2.5 Yrs of Ownership - A Couple Before & After Pics

Here's 6 pictures that show the cosmetic changes I've made since owning my 911. The pics on the left show what the car looked like when it was delivered to me.

Nice ... Did you paint the wheels black or is it the anodized black finish ?

are there any spacers in the rear wheels? I like that stance.... what are the specs on the height?

I need a mo betta exhaust sound.... thinking of the pre-muffler with stock mufflers and SW chip setup.

Looks good. I like the black centers on white cars.

Yep, the black wheel centres on white cars look great. The black carpet makes a big difference. Now, you just have to spend the ten bucks for a new ignition lock surround.

And the front rubber spoiler. You know, as long as we're picking out all the changes...

Nice looking ride.

Yeah i dont really like either steering wheel tho
The one on the left makes it look like a 944 and the one on the right just looks wrong, Just my 2c though. Hope you are enjoying the car.

I bet the wheel feels great, however.

very nicely changed to your taste. One suggestion: replace the black plastic ring surrounding the ignition key.

I have my "feelers" out for a front spoiler....I get a little floaty above 100, not bad, but think it would help...anyone have a descent used one keep me in mind

as for the steering wheel.... I tried two other ones before I got the one I currently dont like

I have a soft spot for white 911's. I will own one someday. Pretty car!

Thanks for all of the comments.

I'm not sold on the look of the steering wheel either. It feels great, but it's not exactly the look I want. If it were solid black, I'd be a lot happier.

Yes, the wheels were replaced with 7s on the front and 8s on the back. They came off a 930. No spacers. The centers are not adonized. I just painted them myself using a rattle can. They are super easy to keep clean and I love the look. It's Rustoleum Pro black semi-gloss.
Ferd - I'd be glad to measure the fender wells for you if you like.

Sounds like I need to replace the ignition ring. LOL! How hard is that to do? Something I can do myself?

Yes, that's a WEVO shifter. I love it. It has a great feel.

I actually replaced the entire front valence. It came off a 500-mile car that was turned into a racer. The shop was liquidating a bunch of factory parts from the car. I picked up with valance with chin rubber already mounted for $400 shipped - and it was already white! The paint matched my car perfectly. Total PIA to install though.
