Wow that’s a really nice looking 996, Vesuvio grey, the 997 wheels and a little lower on the sports suspension really set it off. Love seeing great examples like this, photographed well. Really shows off the unadorned handsomeness of the original design. JWM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love seeing great examples like this, photographed well. Really shows off the unadorned handsomeness of the original design. I was thinking the same. Those wheels look so-so on a 997 (to me) but look fantastic on this 996. The height is just right too. I actually think mine is a bit too low now, both in the looks and how hard it can hit a bad bump sometimes, made me think finding a new set of M030 springs to replace my eibach’s might be something to explore...

I don't know if it is just me but mine seems like it is sitting lower now. It looks great, but it doesn't like the big bumps too much.

I have seen it done and actually posted it up some time ago. It was done in a reflective material and was quite subtle like on a 993.
