You have great taste in cars AND mods

Above is my 996 with Aero nose and side skirts (looking for the right wing).

LED tails and third brake light were one of my first mods. On this side of the pond Depo is the preferred vendor. I have got a lot of compliments that they upgrade the back end of the car.


You also have the exact intake I want. Thanks for the sound clip. I am planning on a fab speed cat back exhaust as well.

and the afters





the scuff was a little deeper than i thought so you can if you inspect closely make out a little depression in the leather
but i'll build that up with another coat next week :wink: (and thats a rain drop you can see on the seats not a blob of leather dye lol)
but im happy with the results

has anyone ever seen one in my color? It is called Orient Metallic Red. I have NEVER seen one in this color. I also love the Aero Kit. I makes the car sooooo much better looking. I am neutral on the wheels but my buddy has offered to powder coat them to match the paint. Thoughts?

Welcome. It would be the perfect purchase if the steering wheel weren't on the wrong side.

Great job on your seats!
Is this the same product you use?

Thanks for getting back to me, I have a similar issue with my front seat, but is very minor. unfortunately this product only sales in the UK
BTW Nice aero kit. Here is my set up Evolution Motorsports.


Cheers
