Introduction

Hello all,

Just wanted to say hello, and thanks for all the valuable information that I've gotten from this forum. I finally bought my first 911 a couple months ago, and it's a yellow/black 2000 Carrera C2, tiptronic. I've already begun the process of stripping her down and customizing her. So far, I've added the double-din nav system, new wheels, replaced a couple speakers, and various other maintenance things. She's currently at the bodyshop getting a rather extensive makeover that includes: GT3 sideskirts, rear aero fins(?), all rock chips taken out, headlights polished and clear-coated, interior pieces getting painted body color, brakes painted, a little spoiler, and I'm having a turbo style bumper put on, although I've just ordered the 997 GT3 style bumper also, so I'm not sure which look I'm going to go with.

Well, just wanted to hello, and look forward to contributing to this forum in the future.

Thanks,

Peter

Hmm, is that a modified Silvia (Nissan 240SX) I spot in the driveway with a nice front mount intercooler? SR20DET maybe?

I have to admit that I'm been stalking your profile! Your car is the primary reason why I just bought that 997 GT3 bumper. Hopefully I can turn to you when I run into the inevitable "difficulties" with the installation. Glad to see you're in North Texas.
