I thought they handled my purchase with the utmost sincerity and fairness...very pleased.W/R to mods...i am starting to believe a car like this would head downhill with any mods...what would i do exhaust? No way, the exhaust in the 997 TT is much improved with better sound..Rear spoiler? Nah, the spoiler has resurfaced with the old agrresiveness and boldness. Ever see a car all modded out win at a Concours event? No way because it takes away from the originality of the car...

I would have to agree, the 997tt is flat out perfect and gorgeous, I never felt this way about it until the past few months of driving one and just staring at them, they are worlds above the 996 sad to say.

And about the concours well yea originality is liked, but my previous turbo won best Porsche at the last Concours de Elegance in Manhasset, I was socked as hell LOL .

Jim its not standard, you re-use the oem tips. The twins do look much better, I think they might offerthem, but they aren't cheap same with fabspeed. Btw my friend Sam (cooperlee) has the cargraphic exhaust with headers, absolutely fantastic sound, no drone!

Btw Jim, Bill, are you guys coming on the exotic run this Sunday?
