yep pics on the way!!

Wow!

Thank you for sharing. I sure hope we all make it to zone 2 in 2010....with your team in hand like in 2008. That was a special event for me.

thanks all.

again reason for posting is that you really dont see this stuff everyday (at least I dont)
amazing the stuff you can take out.
real reason dash came out was for a full proper cage build to the front shock towers. also want all the ac crap out (I live in Florida so dont really need the ac!)

we ordered the CF roof from GettyDesign. I will look at it when it gets here and post some pics. if fit and finish and weight are good I will use it if not going with a factory roof skin.

Curious... why did you choose to convert a street car rather than going for a factory built racer like a GT3cup or RSr? I've gone both routes and will never convert a street car again.

Tom, did you get the C/F GT3 cup roof from Getty? It's really the best solution to go with that or GMG's CF roof panel.

I saw this thread right before the site went down and have been clicking on the 996 TT section frequently for about 12-14 hours.........


Darn Internet Brands.
