Sent the BBS wheels off to be rebuilt to fit the 997TT perfect. Should have them back in a month or so.

Until then, here is a new pic

I hope you're going seal grey on the centres to contrast against the GT Silver?!

Keep us updated on the how the new suspension is. Been thinking about this suspension kit myself.

Are those the actual paintable gt2 skirts, or did you paint the regular black pair?

If you don't mind me asking, what did those seats run you?

Nope, staying with classy silver. Will keep you updated on the suspension. Looks like we are going to break into the 50's next week. It's like 10 degrees today I will be gone on vacation next week so hoping it is still warm when we get back. You never know with Minnesota!

They were the paintable version - but all it would take with the regular ones would be a light sanding to remove the texture before paint. Any paint shop can handle that.

Seats run about $1900 each plus shipping, brackets and sliders are about $600 and I also ordered new seat belt receptacles from Suncoast which were $85 each.

Stunning. Great job finding the right balance of modifications across the board.
