Hey Dough nice car, could you post pics that show that rear window? Have not seen anybody with it, or very bad pics.

 

the leds dont look cheap at all...so ull be happy with them, i think smoked leds would complete the back of ur car, i have red/clear on mine and get compliments on them all the time

 

I already placed an order for mine. I'm hoping I won't encounter the hyperblinking issue that some had experienced. I ordered the LED flashers as well, just in case.

BTW, I like that license plate of yours.

 

Just wanted post a few pics,Ive been upgrading my 2003 C2 over the last 2 years and just finished installing a carrera wing,i went with that option,because i think it complements the aero sideskirts and the over all shape .(just a side note ive purchased a Gemballa GT lip for the front end,also very suttle and doesnt lower the front that much,its been painted but not installed,ill wait for the spring and the post some updated photos) .Plus 2003 really was the anniversary of porsche so ive added a few touches to celebrate this event,like the polished carrera 5 spoke wheels and chrome lug nuts,witch really made a difference,especially against the midnight blue paint.Also 911 script on the rear deck and a 911 anniversary logo in the interior.As far as the engine,we have a fabspeed cold air intake,revo technic chip upgrade,and tubi exhaust.As far as performance,i gained about 12 hp and better throttle response,(maybe a few more with the tubi)im happy with the results so far,but remember!some of the promises made with these upgrades are a little hyped!so consider the cost versus what youll be gaining in actual performance.Of course if i actually had a 2004 anniversary series 911 then the x51 engine upgrade does make a difference.Also waiting for my KW coilovers to be delivered,i did a lot of research on what the best route for upgrading the suspension was and decided to go with KW,theres a great article in the january issue of GTPORSCHE magazine a british magazine available at barnes and noble that really sold me.Of course the car has been 3M treated hood,bumper,headlamps and lower sections of the wheelwells.This was a must as the roads in the new york long island area are pretty lousy the stone chips are inevitable,Also as far as installation goes be careful who you choose,because its an art to install this product the right way,when its done wrong it really looks like crap.These products have come a long way and i recommend them highly!The windows have also been tinted with a 3M product and the same applies!its worth paying a little more and have it done right!there are a lot of bad tint jobs out there.As far as the interior goes,this car came from the factory with a partial alumalook parts,gearshift ,hand brake,gauge surrounds and horseshoe,Im in touch with Dallas Steering Wheel in texas,there gonna do the Alcantara upgrades for the interior,steering wheel(extra padding,darkblue center stripe;darkblue stitching)shift **** also with darkblue stitching.handbrake,doorpulls and a few other trim pieces around the center console.Thats gonna breakup the grey interior quite nicely,definetly check out the website,the prices are great,and you can call them,the owner ansewrs the phone and is quite willing to shoot the breeze about what your looking for,He also sent me fabric swatches of the different alcantara colors that i was looking for,and i was able to pick one out as close as possible to the alcantara headliner in the car,Lloyd custom mats round out the interior,they are grey with darkblue "carrera" logo and darkblue piping.Ive also installed a few rennline products as well including a fire extingusher mount,pedal set,and stainless steel cover for the warning indicator lights,Eric at BumperPlugs did the center console in matching midnightblue,As far as the brakes go all i did was add StopTech stainless steel brake lines(improved pedal feel slightly)and stuck with oem pads and porshe recomended brake fluid,i dont track the car,so need for aftermarket pads or fluids,and really its hard to beat the porsche parts that were designed for the car!Oh and i also had the rotor hats painted,a sweet touch as these have a tendency to rust,and behind those sweet polished wheels well you wouldnt want that!.Detailing Dynamics of mineola long island,handled the upgrades on the car and also all of the detailing chores,i highly recommend them and have used them going on 8 years now,you may pay a little extra,but if your a fanatic like me and only the best will do,theres really no other choice.Check out there website its very cool,Kudos to Matt and Eddie and the rest of the crew for treating me like a friend and taking care of my 911 like its their own.
