Talking Before & After

Houston was too hot for a black on black 02 TT Coupe, so with a few mods and a Horseless Carriage Truck, I now have a red 04 TT Cab. It is my first CAB and I love it. It is also my first 911 that does not have squeaks or rattles. My 02 TT had the sunroof rattle and a bad squeak in the dash. The Cab is really solid and I think it handles better; although, it has Michelin tires instead of the Conti's I had on the 02. Maybe the lack of squeaks and rattles and the Michelin tires make it seem to handle better. I already have the Silver Vision lights installed and Eric's red bumperettes with more stuff to follow.

Before.


After.

Awesome! Did you trade your coupe or sell it? If so what did you get for it? Not trying to be nosey just trying to see where the market is on tt's.

Congrats looks incredible and I love the color!

Traded

I did a trade and got mid-90's for the 02 car.

I moved to Houston from Pittsburgh, and the dealer there sold me the Turbo Cab. I had to ship it to Houston and send the other one back. Horseless Carriage did a great job. I had also used them to move my other cars to Houston.

Wink A couple more pics

Here are a couple of more pictures. It is almost a shame that there is a 997 coming, because I think Porsche has finally figured out how to build the 996. Everything on this car is really solid.



On the ground.

Talking Cayenne Turbo

I love the Cayenne Turbo. I drive it when the weather does not cooperate for top-down motoring in the Cab. I am often surprised by people coming up to tell me how good it looks, since most of the car magazines trashed the styling.

Modifications

Lot's of things planned. I had wanted an X-50, and I think I will put in a TechArt Stage 1. I have lots of pieces and parts from my 02 Coupe that need to go in the CAB. Gert and Suncoast both have packages on the way.
