Well-My 997 is getting some paint work done-update on project and before I unveil it
Got car last week from Boca. Was a little dissapointed because the photos i saw did not really represent the "actual" condition of the car. There were more rock chips on that hood then any one of my cars combined*10. It looked like snow on the hood. The front bumper was ugly and there was a small crease on the rear.
Dropped car off Tuesday at a friends Body shop. Got the hood repainted and also installed a new GT3 cup bumper with vents along with redoing the rear to rid the creasing.
I pick the car up Friday but have to leave it in the garage over the weekend at the COndo to let it fully cure.
Hopefully Tuesday next week I will get an appointment with Dave@ETA. Plan on installing the exhaust, springs and putting on the wheels also.
Then tint install was a very ****ty job, so that will be redone next week and hopefully the car will be ready for its victory lap to Porsche for some warranty work.
Lesson learned: Never buy something(car)without seeing it first. No matter the photos or amount of bs out of someones mouth, you need to personally see it to believe it.
The good news is that by next week I should have what I thought I was getting in the beg. and also have a few clean mods on the car.
Hopefully I can swing her by a meeting...(I know I dont have a AUdi anymore..)

Not suprised, I knew they were there. None were that deep, and I buffed them out pretty well...
Fact was the car was already 5 years old, not worth splitting hairs over a few scratches...

I expected a few things-but not as much as I found. Its a used car, I got a good deal so I had to
suck it up and fix it. Just a shame in my opinion that someone would abuse such a beautiful car. I just sold a motorcycle to someone and the person was over the moon how pristing it was when he got it. I traded my car and the person who took it in trade was amazed how clean my S4 was. He said it looked in as new condition--I had it completely detailed before I gave it in. That is the way I do business and wish that others would follow that way of thinking. Either describe the car correctly or get put it in the "pristine" description they say it is.
