New Turbo Owner

A few years back, I picked up the 997.2 4GTS for my first Porsche. I loved that car, but took advantage of a special offer to upgrade to the 991. I ended up with a well optioned 4S that I really enjoyed. Ultimately, I decided to get rid of the 991 due to a growing family and wanting to free up some extra space in the garage (kids toys were winning). The 991 4S was out along with an Audi S8 replaced by the 958 Turbo S. I thought it would be the best of both worlds. I was wrong. I thoroughly enjoy the 958, but something was missing after nearly a year away from a 911. To fill the void, I purchased a 991 Turbo today.

My previous 911s were completely stock except for wheels and clear side markers. I got the mod bug with the 958 (catbypass and FabSpeed exhaust) and ordered some black Ruf wheels, all weather mats, led clear sides and a Cargraphic Race Version exhaust with x-pipes and flaps seen in recent posts from RSS. The TT is GT silver with Sport Chrono, PDCC, carbon fiber, alcantara SportDesign steering wheel, illuminated door sills, SportDesign body painted mirrors, black leather, glass roof, headlights in black, 18 way heated and ventilated seats, Bi-Xenon headlights in black and clear taillights.

I'm considering swapping out the clear tails for reds, though. Not a huge fan of them on GT Silver. Here's a quick pic...

You could probably get someone here to swap you clear for red and pay for the labor. Great looking car.

Nice. I'd also get the red tail lights. Not a fan on silver.

Thanks - I did receive some interest in the clears, so the swap may be happening soon.

Here's another pic. I'll try and post some more this weekend. Currently getting a K40 installed and swapping out the clear tail lights. Clear side markers arrive today along with all weather mats and frunk liner. Still to come....Ruf wheels and Cargraphic exhaust.

Thanks for the pic. I agree with swapping the clears for red although it really is a personal preference.

Would be curious to know what you think of the WeatherTech mats and liner. I have them in my F150 and Lexus and they're great, just never considered them in the Pcar.

BTW they look great on GT Silver!!
