I had the bodyshop paint them. I was just going to have the shop paint the bumpers and bodykit, but then some portions seemed a little oxidated, so I had them repaint the entire car and add a little more red to the yellow.

Thanks! We were going to do yellow, but then I wasn't sure about the brake dust making them look dirty all the time, and I saw a yellow car with red calipers and liked it, so we changed over to red. I am possibly interested in the yellow seatbelts. Any idea how much they run?

Not sure, you may want to ask Eurospeed, the people that make the kit on ebay. It would seem like they only have it in black, but maybe they could do something? It's one of my favorite upgrades, because now I have a speakerphone, bluetooth, and Ipod streaming. It's not quite as nice as my Sync system in my Ford Raptor, but it's the next best thing.

Thanks!

The front bumper I got from ebay, the seller is xtrememotorcars. The quality is VERY good, except she's pretty heavy. Other than that, she's great, tough, yet flexible. When installing, you will have to remove the outer radiator ducts, or cut them like I did in order for the stock 997 turn signals to fit. It takes some adjustments, but overall it's a great bumper and I would recommend it. The bottom lip just bolts right on.

Thanks! There's a seller on Ebay (euromotorspeed) that sells the kit for about $160.00. Good quality and really easy to install a double din unit.

I know she would look better lowered, but as of right now, she literally touches the driveway every time I back out. I've got a steep driveway, and if she were any lower, the front would scape leaving the house. I'm going to try spacers first and see if that improves the look.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't know. I bought it off ebay, and my bodyshop installed it. I didn't see any markings to identify it. It was really cheap, and it's worked out great so far.
