We bought the car like this, so I can't take the credit for how it looks, but I sorta like it. Not the way I'd do it if I did it myself but it looks good imo.

Nope, I thought it was some where else in the LA area. The car looks great though. You have me considering LMs.

Hehe, RT12 front and RUF cf mirrors, maybe another set of wheels like HRE C20's or BBS Racing? In the rear I'd get the GT3 rear bumper and then also convert it to the 08+ taillights. I'd keep it wingless unless I got bored..

Hey Highcard, thanks for all the pics, much appreciated. I really like the black mesh wheels on that silver GT3 with the washington plates. By any chance do you know scott with the e46 M3 Cabrio? your car looks really familiar. I was thinking of picking up some used wheels off a member on 6 speed. Anybody know anybody selling used wheels and tires for a 996 NB??? thanks everyone.

Porsche Fanatic, that car looks amazing, clean lines, and nice wheels. If you are not bored yet, keep it the way it is. If you are itching for a project, then go ahead and go crazy with mods and changes. My advice.

Hey HighCard...should i just pick up a used set of Victor 19" black mesh wheels with almost new Toyo proxy tires for $1000 as a temporary set of wheels till i decide what i really want? I figure for $1000 it is worth picking them up just as a spare set of wheels and tires to keep in the garage and use whenever i get bored. I would actually want BBS or Champion RG5...but it costs some $$$$$ mula, I would feel guilty buying it right now, maybe in 5 or 6 months though. In the meantime i can beat up the victor wheels and go through the toyos. Any thoughts?

being from LA the land of "Rice Rockets" my only suggestion was a set of aftermarket wheels and it looks like you have already purchased a set
congrats

sorry - dont know the dude!

as for wheels...save that $1000 and put it towards the OFFICIAL set you decide on! you will definitely come across a sweet deal you cant pass up if youre patient! speaking of sweet deals you might want to look into these OZ's on ebay thats ending in a few hours > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OZ-Su...mZ260281338314

those OZ's would look ridiculous on your 911 bro
