Big plunge - Stage II and Magnesium wheels

Guys,
After seeing all the guys with mods....atomic80, Fredtx etc, I finally got the nerve to start modding the car (750miles).
Getting the Fabspeed exhaust and tips. Magnesium 19" wheels from Champion. GIAC software upgrade. Carbon GT3 vent.
Cant wait to get them all in by next week.
Will post pics after getting them all in!

07 TT
GT Silver, Nat Grey, Painted rockers, front and rear apron. Painted grill.

Very nice! We want pics

I think you will be shocked at how much the exhaust + ECU mods wake up the car. I was a little underwhelmed by the stock 997TT's performance, but after having Protomotive redo the ECU.. good lord. It's a real hooligan machine

Enjoy!

Which wheels did you get?? What id#? And too on the Fab exhaust...did you get the headers, cats or just the muffler? Not sure they are sold separately

Good choice and as Treynor says, it's amazing what the ECU/Exhaust combo does

PS LOL, Treynor you knew all along how good these lil TTs could be from the time you saw that black TT (with moi driving) at Sacramento one cold morning in 2003!

Body shop in Atlanta

I only got the courage after reading the various mods other have done.
BTW..does anyone know a good body shop in Atlanta that can install the GT3 vent?

Thanks

Shashi, don't worry too much... I know it sounds wierd but a flash, exhaust and headers is _very_ docile on these cars. Same motor on the 996tt and we've been abusing those for years! The car will feel fantastic
