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 
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.

What the fudge, brownie!?! You'll definitely get some stares!
Don't let anyone try to tell you what's what...artistic personalization is never wrong
At least, that's what I thought...

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.

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.

I have no problem driving it .
i even drove it into tech inspection
I guess you just have to be a car guy who is secure in his sexuality ??
It gets a great reaction on the streets
We cruised pch yesterday afternoon then went to artesia for an Indian .
As well as the usual comments by other motorists at lights and pedestrians at the beaches etc we had guys on bikes and a few cars speed up just to comment and even had a car full of girls taking photos

You are missing something there.... not sure what it is. Try to find seat covers in PINK, I think the theme would look better if you can get this done.
RE Johnny's carpets, well.... forget about them Those are the ones you need.... designed for the badgirl's 986.
