Very good value for money IMO!

I know where I'll start (BBK, suspension, exhaust, bucket seats and roll cage, etc.) but have no idea where I will finish...

Track wheel set
I'll order a first set of wheels for the track next week. I'll go for something affordable I already bought for the 991: Victor Innsbrucks with R888's. Still do not know if I'll go silver... or black

Good point of course. I came across the attached video that shows a 996 w/black wheels AND the full Fabspeed exhaust system. I took a ride in a 996 equipped with the Fabspeed 996 Performance Package with Comp Intake/ECU Upgrade and it was a big Wow! The car also had a lightweight flywheel. Like someone else said it may not be a lot faster, but it felt and sounded a lot faster and the engine revved up noticeably quicker than on my stock 996. I clearly see this upgrade in my future

BIG week end mods
I now have a BUNCH of parts on order, but it is going to be 2-3 weeks before everything gets delivered. Meanwhile, I'll take care of the 'must do' small stuff. So the big mods of the week end were:
Clear/smoked side markers with chrome bulb:

Front plate delete and the inevitable bumper plugs!

Rear wiper delete... and a bit of weight loss
Since it only takes about 15 minutes to remove the rear wiper and since I already had the plug from Bumperplugs, I did this quick mod this afternoon...

One thing leading to another... I ended up removing the carpet, then the seat belts, followed by the seats, etc...:

The car is now 92.3lbs lighter than this morning, and the engine sound is much louder (which I like a lot ).
Time for a Porsche garage sale!
