Thanks Jay, I try to keep it look clean & plain while modding the car. But with the GT3 bumper the car doesn't look so stealth anymore...

By the way your car seems really familiar, was it another members car before by any chance?

Wow Sin --I am very impressed by the work you did . I also agree that it sure does get hot in Miami and it appears taht you are taking steps to keep that car cool . On my Turbo one of my first set of upgrades were intercoolers but on my 997S nothing yet . I'd like to read more as you go through more time with your car and thse upgrades .

One more thing -somewhat off topic --I hear there's an auto show tomorrow at the Mandarin Hotel in Brickell Key . It's supposed to be a real nice event and I just heard about it . I;m not sure if I am going but I am going to try . It's from 12-3PM.

Thanks Larry, I spent too much time on the forum trying to come up with the right combination of parts

The thing is on the track I push the car as much as I can, and the car really is pushed So it gets really hot in return.

Rich called me today and notified me about it I probably will go, just for the fun of it... I want to see what other people have. It's like 5 minutes from my house

Yeah Sin, I picked my car up from a Northern California 6Speeder. Charles had done some fantastic mods before I purchased it. I'm continuing to add plenty of my own mods as well. Once I wrap up a few more projects during the holidays, I will take some new photos and share them with you guys.

Nice mods, you've given me some good insight on what to do next to mine!

Any chance you can post some pics w/a side view? I just pulled the trigger for the same HRE's for my artic silver C4S and would love to see what they'll look like (seeing i can't put them on till the spring)

Thank you sir! The P40s in Charcoal simply look amazing on Arctic Silver! I love them...

Here's a pic, but it was taken before I got the GT3 Bumper.

Hey Sin, I've added mostly cosmetic mods since I picked it up. "Carrera S" rear logo from Bumperplugs in Guards Red, Silver Hood Crest, Full Carbon Fiber side mirrors, Rennline Pedals, Hardwired V1, Premier Clear Bra for RUF front end, Premier Diamond Cut IR tint, BMC Air Filter. I have the Red Tail Lights and the Red Seat Belts coming from Suncoast, those will be installed in the coming weeks.

My big decision lies with the exhaust/cat/header set-up. I have the Fabspeed exhaust currently, the headers/cats are stock at this point. The Fabspeed sounds good, but I'm contemplating whether to go in a different direction. I have spent hours researching the various combinations and listening to Youtube clips. I'm sort of stuck in the old "analysis paralysis" position! I just can't decide what I want to do?

If you have the Fabspeeds, you may want to consider their x-pipe 200-cell cats. I've been very happy with it. Louder, but not painfully so. And seems to enable free breathing and easier rev'ing. I also have headers and the EVOMSit kit but the cats are the biggest single difference.

That GT3 front bumper really makes a difference. Was is OE or aftermarket? Any issues with fit?

That is very nice. I vote for a rear wing if I can be so free as to spend your money.

Beautiful job...the car looks killer...love the P40's...Because of the dark wheels for asthetic (and also aerodynamic) reasons you might consider a Gt3 rs wing rather than the taco. It looks meaner, is less common but still oem, and the black bits on the blade would work well with the wheels & front spoiler...which appears to be an RS part also. Just an observation.....
