Hello everyone. My name is Matt. I've been posting on here for several weeks now, but have been putting off showing "good" pictures of my car until I got her in a little better shape. The rock guards were driving me crazy, the head lights were yellowed, and the wheels were scuffed. Since I bought the car about 6 weeks ago, I have removed the rock guards, swapped the lenses, refinished the wheels, and added quiet a few upgrades. I also addressed any deferred maintenance issues that existed. Here is a list of what I've done so far:

Nice intro!

Are you planning à suspension upgrade too?

D1 Guy

Yes definitely in the near future. Probably going to wait until the summer to do that since I just had an alignment done because of the front diff. install. After seeing that houndstooth interior in the blue car, it makes me want to do the red/black houndstooth in my car, so it would match my coco mats.

Very nice car!

Quadcammer

welcome.

seems like you might be missing rubber caps on your door jam plungers.

Very nice, get a couple of bumper plugs ordered

D1 Guy

Yes, I keep forgetting to order those. It would help my front bumper a lot.

What are these door jamb covers you're talking about? My drivers door handle is a little loose and kinda hard to get it to shut flush sometimes. That may be why. Thanks.

Quadcammer

where this has black rubber, you have silver metal.

Congratz,
Here is a list you may find useful:

Welcome! You mention that you've removed the stone guards, have you replaced them with new ones? If not I would strongly suggest that you do. They get beaten up by road debris quite easily especially with the wide hips on an S car. FD is a good source of those.

Congratulations!! Nice Car Matt!! Driver side exhaust tip looks like it could use being pushed back inboard just a little bit. Check on Ebay for the genuine Porsche 993 Mobil1 with part number 993.006.544.01 label as they will come available from time to time.

Congrats and welcome! Love the Burst!!

Cowhorn

Very nice car and intro. Congrats, and enjoy!

NYC993

Welcome again.
Why new front dif?

This may have been mentioned, but I would get headlight covers to protect those new lenses and consider cover for windshield since it's new.

How about split grill? Btw, if you raise the spoiler you may have some scrapes and rust under right lower corner due to spoiler rubbing against the deck.

Matt,

She looks great!! The turbo scoops look awesome, and LED and HID lights from Tore are brighter and safer. Can't wait to see you lower her. Keep up the great work!!
