Transporting My 997tt to SEMA

Hi guys -

I need to transport my 997tt to SEMA from San Diego. Any tips from anyone who was hauled their car before? Rent a car transporting tralier from Uhaul?

Or maybe someone has a trailer they'd let me rent/borrow?

Stuff we did for SEMA:

Satin White vinyl wrap
Techart Type II Body Kit
HRE S101
KW V3
Carbon Fiber interior

Some pics:



















The rest of the CF interior is currently in the mail arriving from Germany. The other thing we didn't finish yet is the fender well intake setup with IDP y-pipe and Synapse BOVs. Just ran out of time.

Thanks! I really like the steering wheel a lot. Night and day between the OEM leather wheel. The CF feels like a million bucks in your hands.

Absolutely awesome!

I too love the wheels, the steering wheel and rims, that is! The HRE's rock.

That satin wrap is sick as well. I have yet to see one in person.

I have a question for Mr. millionaire (lol).

It appears from the images that the drivers door has a tone change from the rest of the car. Is that just from a photographic lighting angle, or did a sheet of the wrap perhaps get aligned differently from the others?

Obviously a superb build using the finest taste. Not many accomplish that!

Congrats!!!

I know someone that would do a same day pick up and drop off, but they would want $900. Just got a quote for a buddy so I know. Pm me if you want details and info.

I would, but the wife and kids are coming too. It'll be much easier to tow it behind the truck.
