I saw GTRR's 997 and it looks beautiful. Chris the mod guy in S. Orange County is a honest and great guy to work with, he's shop is in Irvine Auto Center.

Give him a call 949 705 9416. He's working on my 997 S cab right now.

Hey all. So it's finally done. Picked it up on Friday. Let me know what you guys think. Here are some before and afters. I gotta say. Tony of Precision and Chris of Sterling were fantastic throughout the process. I am happy on how it turned out. As a last minute decision, I went ahead with the rear bumper too. So glad I did. The tail and bumper compliment each other perfectly. Chris did an excellent job with the fitment and paint. I decided to remove the stock bumperettes to give it a cleaner look. One of the snorkel needs final adjustment. Minor issue IMO considering these are aftermarket parts. Called Chris regarding the snorkel and he said he'll adjust it no problem. Overall as I said, I can't be happier. I think it's important to select someone that not only can do quality but most importantly stand behind their work. Oh, had Chris dropped the car with H & R springs too. You know, it would not look right without the drop IMO.

It's stock front bumper. I just added the FVD lip. I attached about ten photos but don't know why it did show up. Can you see the pics?
The only modification needed for the rear bumper is removing the internal bumperettes which is no biggie.

Ok. Each pic is over 1mb. That might be over the limit for this app. I'll keep trying if not, it'll be mañana.

Great job Slick! I saw your car at the shop last week. I have pics of the fitment phase for you. PM me with your email and I will send it to you. Mine needed some work. Got a fix it ticket for "noise!" I had the Fabspeed sport cats and mufflers. Chris took the mufflers out. Now it sounds fine....but lost it's mean growl!

You need some wheels now! I think "Anthracite" (color like a textured charcoal grey) would be great on your car! The contrast would be stunning! Now that it's lowered, get those offsets to get your back wheels out a bit.

Let's get together at Cars and Coffee next Saturday!
