like that?
Congrats again!

DJ,

You would still get the Techart front lip even if you already had a factory painted front lip? Also, do you know if the Techart rear wingblade goes up and down at speed?

I'll take a photo of the sticker when I get the car back from Premier so you can see the deviated stitching options. What I recall is, seats, dash trim, steering wheel column, doors, rear seats, etc. I think everything I could get deviated, I did.

No mine is just the standard one (thin compared my 02 M3). I am going to stick with the stock unit on my incoming turbo if it looks like yours pictured (ordered the thicker one XPA because I want to stick with the sport wheel). When you get a few miles on the turbo a quick comparison to your 997S would be greatly appreciated! In a month or so mine should hit the dealer. Again, nice job on the options!

Thanks Gradyex, Just the 60 mile drive this morning felt amazing. It's not to thick to grab, but it doesn't feel too thin like my 997S.

Yes Hussain I would do the techart lip b/c it looks the absolute best in white, but just the lip and the wing blade not the side skirts or rear under parts for the rear bumper (yes it goes up and down very easy bolt on application!)

You have the painted rockers already which are great and the painted rear under areas as well, trust me this will look sick!
You can always add the black Techarts or Black GT3RS wheels too ------Dude so sorry i just spent like 10k+ of your money !!!

Hmm Interesting. My rear under bumper piece was unable to be painted as a factory option, so I guess I would get the techart piece or just get the valence painted. I was thinking some Full polish HRE891R's, I just remember jcraimar's 996TT and it was phenomenal.

It's tempting Peter. You did Jcraimar's turbo remember? HRE 841R Full polish? I think I'm sold on the 891R Full polish...

Hussain, Congradulations on your 997 Turbo.
I love the colour combination, nicely ordered. What I like the best of your Turbo is the Padded Sports Steering Wheel, and the Turbo written on the armrest.

enjoy it in good health.

Those are sweet, but you might want to look at Atomics Cobalt Blue TT with Stock GT3RS rims? Either one would look nice. Boy you don't waste any time! After you get a few more miles on the TT I would love to hear a comparison between it and your 997S. I hear the clutch is lighter on the TT and it feels a bit more solid at speed. I know the TT has more HP but is the TT as nimble and direct as the 997S? I'm curious because I have never test driven one before I placed an order (could not find one).
