Thanks Doc! I can't agree more on the wheels. The value on the wheels are awesome...some wheels cost more EACH than these did for the SET! The Avant Garde Classics are great too for the retro look.

 

Cool stuff. Car looks good, but that intake... it seems it would suck all the hot air inside the engine bay.

In all honesty I do not think that very basic intake, exhaust and tune on a base 997 will give you better performance than a 997S. But it sure would be nice!

 

Dirty...drove my C2 a lot today. I have driven a few 997S. I think that you are partly right. My feel is that with the mods, this C2 is as quick to maybe 60. I honestly think that the S is quicker to 100. Again, no timers other than a stop watch held by a passenger. I drove my C2 with the tune for a few days BEFORE the exhaust and intake were put in. I think the tune made the biggest difference in throttle shift and acceleration. The bolt ons make the acceleration seem stronger with smoother shifts, but not quicker (does that make sense?!). No difference in acceleration time but I love the sound of the exhaust. All in all, I am pretty happy with the changes since I ruled out the TPC Turbo option.

At the end of the day, I can't use the speed and power that I have now! The toll roads at 11pm are getting boring! Maybe once I get on the track, I will rekindle the desire for a Turbo!

 

"Bob" looks great, good choices.

 

Did you just blackout the stock rear diffuser? Looks like ceramic coated tips and painted valence to match? Sharp, subtle mod.

 

Socalbd.... The tips were chrome but didn't look right with the color combo so we painted them black. The bottom of the bumper between the tips was vinyled black. Same vinyl was used to cover the original stone guards. It was a really cheap upgrade! Chris Sterling, Sterlingautoconcepts@gmail.com did all the work.

 

I have the brushed stainless tips and don't love them, so definitely going to ceramic coat them black. I have to find out about the black material you used in between, as I have the rock guards on order. (took 2 mos to deliver from Germany to BH Porsche. Just arrived there). That ties the rock guards together well. Nice effect.

 

Looks great

 

Here are the pics of the vinyl application on the car. There are a few places that can do that for you. Chris Sterling in Lake Forest is the most reasonable for this kind of stuff.

 

After this latest round of mods, my car "BOB" got invited to an Avant Garde photo shoot. Here are the pics from the shoot. You may have seen them on some wheel sponsor postings. These pics are on the agwheels.com website and are being downloaded by vendors. Know this.....NONE of those vendors worked on my car! If you have specific questions, you can PM me. Chris Sterling (the Black Turbo is his) in South OC has done every mod currently on BOB.....

 

Very nice. I have an Arctic Silver 07 C2, and your mods have given me some ideas.

 

Just added the black stone guards and love the look. Are those pics from irvine Great Park?

So BOB is now a celebrity, congratulations!
