Hi all,

I recently got back into a Porsche, long time overdue, and I have decided to make it mine and unique. I have a black 997.1 08 manual cabrio.

I am looking to upgrade the front bumper to a Vorsteiner VT-R and possibly the rear bumper and tail lights to a 997.2.

I like the stance and look right now but want a more unique look.

I have just ordered a custom steering wheel, Carbon top, perforated leather grips and napa leather bottom fatter all round and a 10mm red stripe on top.

I also purchased the double din facia and bose integration kit from Del Rey Customs but have not installed it yet. My plan is the top of the line AVIC Pioneer.

I may even customise the Double Din, AC unit, strip switch and cubby box to Leather.

My car already has the following modifications..

Cargraphic exhaust with 3 settings
Bilstein upgrade with lift kit
Lowered but not too much
More agressive suspension setup
Glossy Black original 997.1 Turbo wheels
Short shift
Wheel spacers 12mm front and back

Any experiences or advice would be appreciated.

Cheers.

 

Please post some pics!

Have you thought of upgrading wheels? I'd like to see your black Turbo wheels though. An upgraded rear wing would also really improve the aesthetic as well.

 

Shameless plug but it sounds to me like you're missing a key piece of the puzzle there, a tune

 

If you want a more unique look you shouldn't look any further than Vorsteiner to help you.

If you need any help on details or pricing shoot us a PM and we'll be more than happy to get you started.

Here's a few photos from one that we built:

Well WheelB.
some of your project look amazing.

I'm scheduled in for a tune, any recommendations on companies? Have heard of a company in Germany called Mcchip DKR. Has anybody heard of them? Any other recommendations on a tune would be much appreciated.

 

 

 

 

Thats a beauty alright. I find myself sometimes torn between buying a coupe and convertible in the 997TT (5-6 months away) The convertible is so stylish and offers the open air experience. The coupe has the classic body lines but I won't track as much as I'd like to.

 

Beautiful. Put a black ( or maybe red) "Turbo" badge on the back-keep that murdered out look going

 

I vote for the red badge.

 

needs new, not black, wheels.

 

Here ya go-guess you have to reverse the colors

 

I installed some new Dectane LED taillights last night. I can't believe how easy it was, it literally took me 15 minutes.
