Wired out the money for this today for wife's toy - hopefully this will kickstart her car addiction (pretty please!) But it is a tip so she can drive it.



Trying to order some CF parts. Getting the ebrake but not sure about what to do about the tiptronic shifter???

Anybody have pics of the CF tip shifter or shifter plate???

Thanks a ton.

 

I'm also going to swap out the black calipers and buy some new red ones. Unless you think the red will "clash" with the exterior?

 

looks sharp, congrats

 

looking good!!! Not too sure about the turbo look exhaust tips though.. They look kind of big back there

CONGRATS!!

 

so any pics/thoughts of the CF tiptronic shifter and/or shift gate? Really curious to see what it looks like.

 

How could red possibly 'clash' with red? Anyway, don't waste your money on new ones; get them powdercoated or swap em for brembos.

 

Congrats, yeah those tips gotta go!

 

nice ride.... funny thats a c2 and should of came with black brembos', better check if somebody didnt upgrade to a big reds or just painted.... I would leave it if it were upgraded.

 

guess you misread....but anyways you can get red or even yellow calipers with a C2 996 - it's a factory option. but 99.99% of the time they are black. my last C2 was identical to this one except it was black. i changed to the red calipers and it looked sharp

 

that looks good. your wifes gonna have some fun driving that. man, ive noticed so many women driving 911s in the past couple weeks.

 

before ordering stuff, ask her what she wants.....aka kickstart.

maybe she wants yellow calipers.

 

and it makes their "hot factor" go up tenfold

 

Definetly get the CF shifter. Gert at Carnewal has it and much more:




I love the Porsche symbol on the bottom.

Also, keep the chrome exhaust tips. That is a bad angle. They look great from the rear.

 

you can see a pic of the CF tip shifter insalled in my thread here:

I have a brand new CF tip shift plate, I am not going to install it but rather go the painted route. If you want it PM me and I'll give you a good price on it. Was $250+ new. I paid $200 for it a few weeks ago.

Beautiful car- Your wife should pledge her undying love devotion and every favor in the book to you after getting this car.

you don't have to swap them, there are kits available to paint them and then re-decal w/ the porsche logo. Maybe someone here has a link?

I've seen a few painted sets nicely done and they look fine!
