Operation Tear Down w/Pics

Okay, so after removing the climate control for servicing, one thing led to another and I have officially entered the go all out (or bankrupt, lol) mode.

Sent 25 pieces of the interior to the Custom Body Shot to get done in Lapis Blue (3A9), A/C console is getting new LCD screen, the CDR-220 LCD screen just got reconditioned, new regulator installed on the passenger side, and new oil sender unit.

What Mod suggestions would you guys recommend. It will be getting:
Porsche Aluminum Pedals
Aluminum Bezel for the Gauges
Console Delete (still considering, problem is I just sent all of the items to get painted so the middle piece that comes with the kit wouldn't match)

What do you guys think about thie bumper? and where can I find a rear spoiler that will actually work on the Cabriolet's?

Notice the laptop for all of the DIY involved, lol I swear I have never read so much 6speedonline, rennlist, and renntech

Here's a pic of all of the parts that went to the Paint Shop, I will say this was interested getting all of the parts off.

The door panel took me a while because I apparently forgot one screw right in the middle. This screw is hidden by the door pocket cover, but if you fold it just right you can see the phillips head I believe. The only other problem I had was breaking the stupid clips off of the leather door handle (not the handle itself but the piece that you hold to shut the door), both sides same thing, but I was able to fix it.

If you have any problems or questions PM me and I'll give you my number. The second one I took off in less than 5 minutes.

Okay, it's been a journey but my baby is finally complete. I will be taking new pics of everything this week. The car turned out beautiful in the end, however it did take two body shops to get the interior right (the first place was a joke). The last custom body shop Superior Auto Buna, TX did an amazing job on everything. 25 pieces smooth as glass.

To top it off, the car is about to go on a 7 day road trip across 5 states (just TX is 900 miles across, lol) will be posting pics along the way.
