RSC 911. My Interpretation. Mint!
Thanks for the advice, info and help here on Pelican. Thanks TRE for all the fancy bits and sage advice. Thanks to anyone who I bought parts off. Thanks to Areta Autobody for the amazing bodywork/paint.
Mint. Seafoam. Pistachio. Grassroots green? Whatever you call it, its mine. The Sundried Tomato SC (found here on Pelican) is now my "RSC". Not finshed yet, but I couldn't keep her underwraps any longer. Driving it everyday, one of you would have snapped a pic of it sooner or later

Interior color will be black and charcoal grey. Haven't gotten to that yet.
Also riding high. Suspension will get dialed/lowered when I have some more time, and get the interior sorted, and at a final weight. Please excuse the muffler tip

You're going to have to get a new tag. The "666" pairs better with a red car . . . unless you're putting in a really wicked engine.

I like it. Any details on the engine grille? I'm probably going to make or buy something similar for a car I'm building.

Cory M- Aluminum Perf metal, I traced the stock grille and cut out the aluminum. After that trial and error fitting/shaping. The Rubber gasket was the hardest part to find, so as of now its vacuum hose that I hand slotted. It was supposed to be black the whole time, but at the last minute I went with Bronze to match the wheels. Worst case, if I don't like it, paint it black. I like it so far, not as crazy looking as it may sound. When I found the bronze bolts, I knew it was meant to be.

Thanks. It looks really clean, I like it better that just attaching the mesh from underneath.

Certainly different - which is always a good thing... Wattanabe's in the rear I presume, or mini-lites? Were they offered new in that color as an option? Although you mentioned lowering the car, wouldn't the tires rub somewhat given their tall diameter?

Wow...Love it! The bronze wheels really work with the mint! Probably garish to some but as I say...you are driving a Porsche....you are all ready 'thumbing your nose at the world'
