Here's some photos. As you can see they still have the red needles. I never even noticed the GT cars had yellow needles until someone pointed it out to me when I posted these photos.









Cluster for parts

Hey guys, sorry been away for a while, mostly traveling for work and tuning the car with Dzenno from proTUNING Freeks. Left little time for much posting

The PSM and TSC do in fact switch off, but only when sport mode is engaged. I have grown to like it. Also the added advantage is that one can stack multiple displays, such as boost and fuel efficiency at once (pretty cool), oh and it comes with a shift light --- another really cool feature the turbo gauge does not come with

One thing I never use is cruise control, which is also disabled with this gauge cluster. Who needs cruise control on a manual turbo anyway

I like your plan, but get the OEM GT2 side skirts. Those techart style ones look too bulky and aftermarket.

All the added CF parts (exhaust outlets, front vents, etc.) I'll source aftermarket parts, to keep the costs down.

The next purchase: Wing
I'm gravitating to the NR auto wing with CF blade.
Just waiting to hear back from Vivid on time it took them to get that wing to fit on their white 997.2 TTS.

I'm scouring the web for the steering wheel, shifter, ebrake and door sills. Internally then it's just GT2 seats that I'll have left to replace - I fear that's going to be the hardest to secure and I might just go with fully adjustable sport seats.

When the rear bumper goes in I'll do the exhaust and update to clear LED tails.
I'm gravitating to the Kline GT2 exhaust with 100 Cell cats and CF tips.

This may be a long project.
I'm aiming to have it complete end on next year.

As a side note, I'm thinking of keeping my side skirts as opposed to the GT2 ones.
I fell in love with this look... just sooo much better than the OEM. But I may reconsider once it's all in.

Can it not be reactive tee in PIWIS? I had cruise control retrofitted in my car. In the UK we have speed cameras on motorways. When they have roadworks they have sections with cameras spaced along the roadworks and then they use 'average speed cameras'. Meaning they are connected and they work out your average speed since you hit the roadworks. Sometimes they go on for miles. So I just switch on my CC and I never get a ticket.

I had my tech spend some time on it and they were unable to, however I did mention that they shouldn't spend too much time on it anyway - essentially if its not quick.

So frankyly I didn't have a lot of effort put into it, to make it work.
One would think there should be a way.
