Yet another new 997.1 TT owner!
Looks like there are quite a few people buying the 997.1 cars on here lately. I'll add mine to the list.

I picked this up in August and have been in love ever since. 2007, CPO car, six speed, slate gray on natural leather interior with PCCB.

I've been researching these forums and have done a few things lately.

So far the mod list includes:
NHP catless exhaust (sounds amazing, no drone)
LED taillights
LED update kit (Suncoast)
Ruger Mesh (thanks Need4Speed!)
Zunsport grilles
Makassar center console and dash trim (Suncoast)
GT3 Smile (Rennsport)

I'll be adding tint next week to complete the blacked out look.

After the CPO warranty is up I'll consider chip, intercooler, clutch upgrades.

The car is amazing to drive and with the few simple mods, I think it looks and sounds much more like the beast that it is. I've put 7k miles on the car in almost five months!

Here she is stock and a couple more menacing photos below:

Very nice congrats. I just picked mine up and since it's CPO I'll have to hold off on performance mods

I love this color combination, particularly the natural interior, with your mods a menacing looking TT, Congrats
I have a recently acquired CPO car as well and am facing the same dilemma on performance mods.

Very nicely done! One or two interior shots would have been nice, for us to appreciate the makassar on the inside (i.e., contrast with the natural brown leather)...

Here ya go. I love the contrast versus the all natural brown.

Thanks!

Would love to but that is a rabbit hole I'm not going down right now. Tune plus exhaust = new clutch soon.

Also I paid a chunk more for a CPO car and don't feel like gambling on a warranty claim on a car that is already supercar fast.

That's why you just get the tune/exhaust and other go-fast goodies from me and keep your warranty.

As long as your CPO is in effect...we've got you fully covered.
