When I picked it up it had horribly ugly blackout lights, plus they attracted unwanted attention (police)



So I removed the tint



Cleaned up the headlights





Opened the lungs a bit



Picked up some rotten suspension





Had it cleaned up and rebuilt



Slapped on some GT2 Goodness





And here she is today

Nice work.

How did you clean the headlights?

Where did you get the GT2 wing?

Looks good! How are those re-built Bilstein's? Notice any difference compared to the ones on your old car?

Thanks guys!

@cybersam69 - I cleaned the headlights using 800-3000 grit, staging them, using a DA polisher and 3M rubbing compound with some polishing pads. I picked up the GT2 wing from a 996 owner in California, not sure who makes it though.

@Grant - I noticed a different in body roll (or lack of it) immediately. The feel is also much more sporty and responsive. I think I'm on 6/5 damping right now. Haven't put too much on them as it needs a new clutch.

@Tim941NYC - Yes, I reused the springs. I had them cleaned and powder coated.
