Thanks. Yep in Richmond. Easy to recognize them.

Though I don't post often, I cannot resist with this one: your interior is absolutely the perfect spec. I cannot fathom a better looking 997 interior.

I didn't. That is a plate put on via the tow hook. Ugly!! That is gone and the front is clean and never will have a plate on the front even though suppose to. Refuse to muddy up the front with a plate. Thanks for the comment!

Beautiful color combination. How is the driving experience after a couple of months? Did you change the orange side markers to the clear ones yet - best, simplest and cheap mod.
Cheers

Fantastic car that is fun to drive. Clears are on and front plate is gone. Not to sure about mods but have looked into getting a better growl like EP I. Surprised Porsche hasn't put on a better sounding system at least like sports exhaust system.

I have heard that the EP-1 is heavier than the stock systems, even though it sounds great. Check into that. I also love the interior and am sooooo glad you got rid of the front plate. Get a non-hydraulic clutch and the car will feel much more connected to you as supposed to guessing the clutch pedal feel.
Congrats.

Europipe only has an EP (not EP1 or EP2) for the 997.2. Email Stef for weights - I don't think it's heavier than stock. BTW - great looking car - congrats.

Thanks for the great comments. Enjoying the car. Fun to drive. Have not done much of anything with it so far. No front plate and clear lens placed. Still thinking about EP. Also considering a sport shifter. Long shifts at this point which could be shortened up. Any thoughts? Most annoying thing-squeeky brakes!

Does anyone know if the Center Lock Removal Nut (tool) come with the car? I picked up a TTS and the dealer says its a tool I need to purchase and that it doesn't come with the car. I found that odd but definitely believable...

Probably everything you wanted to know (and more) here -
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ips-tools.html

If I read the pdf instructions, it looks like you should have a wrench socket/tool in the luggage compartment - at least the picture shows where it should be stored. And Suncoast refers to it as a "replacement/spare". I think you're on the hook for the gigantic torque wrench needed. I'm surprised your dealer doesn't know.
