Looks good .....no spacers needed here I guess???

How is your ride quality? A portion of spring rate is in the tire you run...

Actually they are direct bolt on but I put additional 13mm spacer for the rear to give that aggresive look. Ride quality, I like the 19's, it ride's better now compared to, when I had my 18's on it. Yap I'm also planning to purchase some springs to take off that gap in between the tire and the fender. Thanks!

easy way to make it look better -

clear your headlights, side markers, and rear tails.
Paint your bumperettes

car will look 10x better. all the above (except the headlights) are relatively cheap. the side markers are like $25 or something. the tails are around $250. you can paint your own bumperettes by getting a paint kit for under $100, or go to bumperplugs.com and get a professionally done set for around $300.

the lights are $500 for halognes and over $1000 for litronics..those are used/ebay prices. I've done all the above except the headlights... and in my opnion, these few upgrades, done to an older 986, makes them looks a LOT newer and more modern. you get a cleaner look.

the bumperetts will look great on your car - as the black bumperettes really stand out on a lighter colored car like yours. i'd do that first!

wheels look good.

Nice ride! All I would do is drop it. I think the H&R springs that came on my car are the lowest you can go, like 1.5" or so. Those 19's would look awesome sucked under the fenders a bit. Sure you can do all the light mods etc but stance is most important and goes a long way towards making your car a head turner.
