Best subtle improvements to look of C2S?

[Nico61]

Having been steered on the right path for my chassis mods I'm looking for opinions on making my 997 look a little different. I love the pure 911 look of the 997 so I want the most subtle improvements. So far for practicality more than looks (but I think they do look good) I have added mesh grilles to prevent the worst stone damage to the A/C condensers. My thoughts are to change the wheels for Fuchs or Fuchs style and add the Eibach spacers to improve the attitude then round it off with a Duck tail replacing the rear spoiler. Thoughts please?? And be frank, because if I'm in danger of spoiling my car I want to know!

IMO - Forget the "Duck Tail"

Actually, it might be heresay, but I like changing the appearance of my 911 with something as simple as stickers - it started from a LeMans trip, but I quite like them staying on the car. It's different, its completely what I want and has to be the best value change for any car. It's not a couple of small stickers BTW, think of the car as a canvas... Then you'll get the idea.. Trust me, everyone has an opinion.

It only takes a bit of imagination, time and persistence.

You should be able to pm me for details, good luck!

A good intention to change the wheels and along with spacers []
The elephant in the room issue to me is the duck on the tail.
Just have this vision of it looking pug ugly if I'm honest.

What I want is a Sport Classic kind of look without going too far?

Well !

Have you got the look you wish for

I have lowered the suspension, now I need to get the wheels, still conflicted about the Duck Tail!

Ducktail is a thumbs up from me []

Its a car I think rpm have designed, Fuchs, lowered etc
may not be the same model as yours but it will give you a good idea on how things will look, well worth a read
hope this helps
cheers steve

Hi , yes thanks for that, I have the issue!!

I think the look is great when you combine it with the Fuchs wheels.

My only concern is the Duck Tail might be too big, and the flipping expense, they cost a fortune!!

I love the sport classic look with the retro ducktail and Fuchs wheels, but every man for himself and if you like it that's all that matters, just keep the old bits or it might effect your resale options.
