Absolutely stunning car!

I may have missed it in the thread, but what LEDs are those? Really helps the look of the rear.

The Techart spoiler is money! I think it looks best in the down position personally. I know mine goes up automatically at 7$mph but I like it best down. Best mod I did along with the FVD led tails. They just totally update the look of the rear compared to the ancient looking standard bulb lights.

Thank you! I bought them from a friend who sold his car, i believe they are the Depo lights.

I agree 100% - I considered a lot of different ones, but this has always been my favorite. Adds just the right amount of aggressiveness to the rear IMO. I like it for its aggressively understated look... "OEM+" style is how i describe it.

After a few attempts - i finally made it to Texas World Speedway! Such a fun track, i had a great time and learned a ton. Looking forward to making it back 1-2 more times before it is demolished.

Figured i would share a few pics:

Packed up ready to go!


Arriving early to watch a sunrise from the track.




Some of the results of an offtrack excursion :/ - broken rear lip and tore up the front lip as well. Not worried about the front lip as i have three of them, the rear lip was a bummer, but what can you do. I'll get another soon.




few pics throughout the weekend:










Heading home after a great weekend at a great track, till next time!

Couple quick pics - replaced the front lip and swapped back to painted OEM rear lip with a Werks 1 diffuser.

Plan to clean her up this weekend and maybe get some proper pics.

Nice photos Kricci!

I have the same car combination also. I own a 997TT and a 958TT. I guess I'm spending too much time on the 958.

Regardless, both of your cars look great and I really like the aggressiveness on the 997.!

Thanks! Great minds think alike

I contemplated modifying the Cayenne but decided i'd do a few cosmetic mods and call it a day - I have way more fun tweaking and driving the 997

Been a few months since i updated this - not much has happened. Swapped in a new battery and basically just been driving and washing her.

Luckily I managed to avoid any damage during the flooding in Houston in late August, and had prepared appropriately by leaving the turbo on floor 4 of our parking garage to ensure she stayed dry.



Here is a pic of my street during the storm, so i wasn't taking any chances:







I needed to be in Ohio for a few weeks and it coincided with a PCA track weekend at Mid Ohio so I loaded her up in a trailer last week and had her shipped to Ohio.









She arrived safe and sound and i have been driving her around enjoying this cool/dense boost weather.
