Local black on black 2009 997TT Cab gets Shark-a-fied

This local black on black 2009 997TT Cabriolet came into us for a full suspension overhaul, HRE wheels, a Tubi Street Exhaust system as well as a couple of TechArt accents.

In stock form...


On the lift she goes with the rear bumper removed:


On goes the lighter weight (saves approx 28 pounds) Tubi Street exhaust with 200 cell cats:


A close-up:


Bumper and heat shields back on:


Over to the suspension now. A look at the stock rear end and suspension components...


We replaced the factory upper links with their neoprene (aka soft) bushings with the RSS upper link kit:


Next up are the RSS Bump/Toe-steer lower links and TechArt spring kit:



The rear adjustable RSS sway bar kit is the final piece installed in the rear end:


And now over to the front...


Replaced with the lowering kit from TechArt:


Over to the outside, the TechArt type I front lip was also installed:



The classic HRE 597R wheel with a brushed/clear center and polished outer


A shot of the factory hardware ready to go home (aka the dumpster!):


And finished...



She will be back for some power mods soon
