Carrara White 991 - Mod Diary
14 Attachment(s)
Hey Guys!
7/30/2013 Finalized my transaction. Did some research here and wanted to get springs and spacers right away. 8/5/2013 Got my Carrara White delivered :) Car looked low enough; wheel gap wasn't atrocious. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1376711953 8/10/2013 Decided to hold off on springs and spacers. Instead went cosmetic route. Ordered: Clear Reflectors - $62.71 Clear Tail Lights - $518.95 Black Tint Film - $9.95 (I originally wanted the smoked reflector pre-cut kit, but why spend more for more work. I discovered getting an entire roll is cheaper and also easier to install.) X-ACTO Knife - $4.77 - 8/13/2013 clear reflectors arrived and installed; followed this DIY on youtube: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1376711953 8/15/2013 tint film arrived; followed eBay auction instructions; installed https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1376711953 https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1376711953 8/20/2013 Got my Clear Tail Lights today! I tried following this post for the installation. It didn't help me @_@. So here is my 991 Clear Tail Light Installation DIY ...it worked for me: Unboxed the Tail Lights https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377047332 Raise the Rear Spoiler. Pop up The Cap with a Flathead. Do the same for the right side. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377047332 You Will Need a T25 to Unscrew These Two TorX Screws https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377047332 Not Enough Room for Regular ScrewDriver so I Assembled This Wrench Tool - It Did the Job https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377047332 After You Unscrew Both Bolts, Just Pull Tail Light Towards You and It Comes Right Off https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377047332 Repeat Process for Right Tail Light https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377047332 All Set! https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1377047332 8/22/2013 - Polished Quad Tips ordered from Fabspeed. Got the best price direct from David@Fabspeed. 9/06/2013 Got my Fabspeed polished tips. To take off my 991 stock tips, I used an E12 reverse torx socket. You can get a set here: Alternatively:

You could have used a 10mm 6 point wrench to remove the 991 stock tip. You didnt have to spend the $ on the torx set. The Fabspeed tips use a 13mm wrench. I'm sure you know that part now. All the best! https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1378543708 10/13/2013 Saw Brooklyn991's thread here Home Depot Plastidip - $5.95 + tax Painters Tape - $3.50 or something eBay 911 Badge - waited for my eBay bucks to kick in and got this one from the UK because the other one in the U.S.had numbers individually taped so I'd had to line it up manually. Also the UK is cheaper. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1381791929 https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ine=1381791929 |
I love your car .. color and wheels .. but I'm not entirely unbiased offcourse ;-)

My car is a duplicate of yours, plus I bought from PP. Who is your salesman?
Foscam cameras, I use the same, but my wap isn't in the garage. You need some of these |
Question for both of you as fellow Carrara White brothers: would you guys get Chrome or Black Chrome Quad Tips from Fabspeed? I am leaning towards Black Chrome but worried it'll just disappear under the black diffuser.

Are your wheels Platinum Satin as well? They look much darker and better on your car!

Do you like the clear lenses over the stock red ones on your white baby ?

Looking good ;) Are you also tinting the windows?

That would set off the contrast nicely and also complement the rear tinted reflectors. But the look is a bit too aggressive for me haha. |
Looking good. A set of black wheels with a polished lip would be the perfect complement.

Love the clears--- can you disclose the price? (sorry if you did and I missed it)
Edit: I have a 4s so the center would be red still- that would look odd wouldnt it?? |

Can you PM me with the % discount you received? I am going to order a lightly optioned (probably White!) 991 this winter if I can't find a good deal on a used one and would consider going outside Chicagoland if it made sense.
Beautiful car, needless to say....:)

Here it is again (click blue link): Clear Tail Lights - $518.95 shipping included from Florida I would tint out the center red portion as well otherwise I think it would look a bit mismatched haha
