Complete.....For Now.

Ok, just got the car back. As some of you know, I bought the car with the following aftermarket mod's already done:
GT3 Front Bumper
Rinspeed "Indy" Rear Bumper
RSS Plenum
SmartTop
Premier Clear Bra Wrap

I went ahead and added the following:
HRE P40's, 19", brushed finish
TechArt Side Skirts
TechArt springs
Red Front Seat Belts

Thinking exhaust next

Here's a couple of pretty bad pic's I just snapped in the garage. Hope to get her cleaned up soon and will try to post up some better pic's.

Thanks again to Dan at Vivid for hooking me up with the wheels, Tony at Plus One here in Portland for the actual work on mounting the wheels, and Jeremy at Matrix Intergrated in Portland for the skirts, drop, and seatbelt swap.

Joe that looks awesome!

I remember MickFluff said he was doen moding, I told him he wasn't, and he continued.

Clearly you aren't done either, already talking exhaust. I bet you will be moding again by the end of summer! I thought that I would only do one or two mods...now I have a few

Hey Lockie, nice to see you yesterday.

I have the smart key (version for the coupe) works very well, easy to install, and simple to use.

Joe,

very cool mods! I love those wheels! I might consider them for my new car in a few years. I like the classics right now, but I might get the colored crests. Anyway, enjoy your 'new' car!

Jen

NONE...

Very nice Joe! My P40's are en route from Wheel Boutique (matte black 20's).

I love the sideskirts, definitely "just added" to my future mods list.

Thanks everybody. Man, I really need to give her a wash looking at the pictures now. Dirty.

SmartTop is nice. I haven't really played with the ability to drop the top with my key but I do like the fact that a double click is all that is needed to drop or raise the top.

One thing I just noticed is my wheel crest. I think the wheels came with HRE caps but I couldn't remember if I told the installers which one's to put on. Should I stay with the Porsche colored crest or have the HRE's put on? Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks. I know your wheels should be on in the next week or so. Can't wait to see your pic's.

Maybe I need to take a drive to Florida to say hi to Larry and pay you to detail my car like how you detailed yours (stunning work).

I kept my Hre logo . I think it's more prestigious than the Porsche crest.
Your car looks amazing Joe!!!!!

You should add a rear wing, that is what I am going to do to my 997 cabriolet. Your car looks really nice.
