what method for lowering and bumperette delete? Side skirts?

Ian c 09-02-2013 10:47 AM

Lowering is a nos set of eibachs I came across .
I was going to use vogtland springs ..

Bumperette holes where filled using cuts from a 997 front bumper , welded in place using a soldering iron before filling and painting .

There are no side skirts ;)
I ran a strip of 1/4" pinstripe to give a line then the side stripes look level .
The body creases on the rear quarter are angled , so there is the choice of follow them and be angled , or put the stripes on level and look angled :D
The pinstripe just helps a little ....
I tried 1/8" first , but it was too subtle as the creases really show on lighter colored car .
I got the idea after trying up one stripe on the boxster , and the other on my 997 ... The 997 has a joint there where the sill cover meets the metal .

Minus the obscene wheels that remind me of a diarrhea medication, it looks good.

woodsman 09-02-2013 11:26 AM

I can see a WHEEL difference!:D??!

I'm a cal-look guy so the subtle mods done are my usual thing , but I'm kinda getting into the "in your face" wheels :LOL:

Now you need to tie in those wheels with some floor mats. :eek:

Ian c 09-02-2013 11:36 AM

Lemme know how much you want for them ...
I take it they are in good condition and there are no holes from you driving in stilettos ??

:D

There's 90 days you'll never get back.

What the fudge, brownie!?! You'll definitely get some stares! :D

Don't let anyone try to tell you what's what...artistic personalization is never wrong ;)
At least, that's what I thought...

kjc2050 09-02-2013 12:16 PM

To each his own, I guess. I like what you've done other than the wheels, which to my eye are utterly hideous. If you're happy, that's all that counts.

Ian c 09-02-2013 12:19 PM

Iam happy .
So is The girl whose car it is ...

Well, I feel a little better. Enjoy.

Hayden 09-02-2013 01:29 PM

Well, I guess it's not completely obvious, but I assumed girls car, and a real head turner at that. Would love to see people's reactions on the road.

Looks like the center caps are ready to bail...

Ian c 09-02-2013 02:00 PM

They are bolted in from the inside ...
