    I just got a 997 in this exact color! Two questions, what’s your thoughts on silver wheels for this paint? Like silver HREs. Second, is it ok to bring this car to a soft auto car wash?

      Nothing for now. With car mods, they say you're only one mod away from ruining your car. Any mod I do needs to be easily reversible in case it doesn't turn out well.

    I suggest you do a matte vinyl wrap computer cut for the rear bumper section instead of the plastidip. It will have a cleaner edge.

    • @CarFanatic
      @CarFanatic  Год назад

      That's a good idea. I have some black vinyl sitting around. I'll give it a shot if I ever remove the plasti dip.

    Sweet mod! Moshammer side skirts look great, I like the fact your just doing what you like and not pandering! I'm actually considering the Jacquemond rear wing much like the old 993 gt2 style, I love a nice wing, what do you think of it?

    I would add rear fixed mud flaps to extend the side skirt a little. they cost maybe $50- $100 on Amazon. different styles to choose from.

    Looks great as I personally prefer more "subtle" type of mods....the spray painting can be a pain as I am going through painting the center console as we speak for my 987 Boxster...

    This gen is so timeless i would refrain from modding the exterior. But i am not going to lie and i give you credit that you did a great job in not overdoing it. It looks great!
    How many miles are you at? Any scored bore anxiety? Any sooty tail pipes? 34k miles on mine, 3rd owner Northeast car. I'm getting paranoid about mine. Heh

    • @CarFanatic
      @CarFanatic  11 месяцев назад

      Thank you! No issues so far at 76k miles! Just warm your car up by driving it and keep the revs under 4k until it's at operation temp and you should be fine.

    Brother, what's important is how YOU feel about your mods... but since you ask, the skirts and the painted part behind the rear wheels don't work for me. All the rest is fantastic, but the shape of the skirts and the fit line would really drive me nuts. 😑 On a happier note, I love that you are still posting these videos year after year, you're a real asset to the community. Thank you!

      Are you referring to the plasti dip? If so, it has held up nicely. The plasti dip on the rear bumper valence has been on there since 2015 with no peeling. It actually holds up well on areas that aren't touched much.

    Yeah you made it ugly!! Sorry but just my honest opinion.. is nothing like an original Porsche 911. Original that’s where the value is. But.. everyone has preferences.. me, I’m all about original cars. I won’t mess with anything on any car.. 👍🏻🙋🏻‍♂️
