great start ....... what i would do:
1. detail the car inside and out professionally and pay what it takes.
2. take the tint off
3. get new 18 inch wheels with more aggressive offsets
4. change out the exhaust to fister d, robin sun's rsr or fabspeed maxflow
5. join rennlist and read the last 250 pages of the 993 section over there

welcome and congrats

That's a great looking 993!
I think the only part that doesn't fit are the stock wheels. Other then that it looks great!

Is that the car from the Fresno CL? I saw that and it looked like a good price. Others said it has questionable history. How is it?

I agree with Stealth, I would lose those wheels for something a bit better looking, and I would also lose that tint. Great looking car otherwise.

I'd replace that TTS Wing with a Ducktail to go with those splitters and side skirts.

Congrats on the purchase!

You should jump on the BBS sale and get a new set of 18" wheels for your beautiful 993!

PM me for more details!

Rennlist is a very good resource for air-cooled Porsches. I would encourage you to join the 993 guys there and enjoy your Porsche that much more.
