A journey of small mods....

[JoelPirela]

When I had my 996, the day I did the last mod (carbon fiber sunroof liner) decided to sell the car to get a 997. it was a sad stage, since at that point, I had my 996 exactly how I wanted and it needed nothing... it took me 4 years to achieve that. When I got my 997 this past november, I decided to get the majority of the mods underway, so I could enjoy the car early on... Here is the list so far... 997S OEM Quad Tips Chromed 997S OEM Black Lobster's forks with 235 and 305 tires Carbon shifter Carbon handbrake Aluminum track mats Aluminum pedals Painted door finishers Painted mirror's triangles Painted complete console Aluminum trim for the shifter Carbon door pulls Carbon door lids Carbon center side bolster for PCM Yellow calipers Dension iPod P O R S C H E emblem in the back Dectane LED's front and back GT3 smile on the front bumper Collapsable spare tire/jack/tools LED interior lights + trunk nothing fancy, I still need to get lowering springs, wheels and carbon fiber intake... but that's next! What's missing and I will get them pretty soon: yellow seat belts 2012 all black steering wheel yellow gauges from FVD It's a never ending saga but the list is finally getting shorter!

Did you paint or powder coat the wheels? Are they a matt or satin finish?

[JoelPirela]

The wheels are painted in sating black.

Next it needs to be lowered.

[JoelPirela]

I want a 1.5 - 2" drop but I don't want anything over complicated, rubbing or scraping speed bumps... (HR springs maybe?)

[MBENZF1]

Am I blind? I don't see any pictures, I'm interested in seeing the front LED's.

Thanks

Edit: Just figured out that my work internet is blocking this out, shows up as blanks.. sorry.

[JoelPirela]

There are there..... IDK why you can't see them. ??!!??

[NorthVan]

I see the pictures too.

Regarding Lowering, 2"is extreme, and without CO's can't be done. Having the wheel gap reduced will improve your car's look.

[JoelPirela]

maybe 1" then... can I do that with HR springs?

Joel,

Is the 2012 steering wheel a direct swap (997.2 to 997.1)? Can you reuse your airbag?
