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.

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

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.
