@3point2: Thank you!

The 996TT-bumper is not a direct bolt on. The headlights have a different shape, so you have to change the entire front end - including the fenders. There are however aftermarket 996TT-look bumpers that are made to work with the regular "fired egg"-headlights.

The car is not lowered, but the wheels has spacers. I guess the added stance might pull it down a bit (as well as age), as it does appear to ride a little lower than other Boxsters I've seen. Oh, and it has side members.. I guess they optically makes it look lower. I am glad it is not lower than it is, I'm already getting quite a rash on the front spoiler.. should not have been painted! The spacers alone, by bringing out the wheels, makes a huge difference in appearance and well worth it. Could probably hurt the handling some, though.. but oh well...

@xtremecc: Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. Yes, it's a lot of (fun) work, and I agree - the color is sweet.
