A journey of small mods.... (updated w/pictures!)
 
When I had my 996, the day I did the last mod (carbon fiber sunroof liner) decided to sell the car to get a 997. it was a sad stage, since at that point, I had my 996 exactly how I wanted and it needed nothing... it took me 4 years to achieve that.
When I got my 997 this past november, I decided to get the majority of the mods underway, so I could enjoy the car early on... Here is the list so far...

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7016/...f35afd49_o.jpg

997S OEM Quad Tips Chromed
997S OEM Black Lobster's forks with 235 and 305 tires
Carbon shifter
Carbon handbrake
Aluminum track mats
Aluminum pedals
Painted door finishers
Painted mirror's triangles
Painted complete console
Aluminum trim for the shifter
Carbon door pulls
Carbon door lids
Carbon center side bolster for PCM
Yellow calipers
Dension iPod
P O R S C H E emblem in the back
Dectane LED's front and back
GT3 smile on the front bumper
Collapsable spare tire/jack/tools
LED interior lights + trunk

nothing fancy, I still need to get lowering springs, wheels and carbon fiber intake... but that's next! hilarious

What's missing and I will get them pretty soon:

yellow seat belts
2012 all black steering wheel
yellow gauges from FVD

It's a never ending saga but the list is finally getting shorter! ;)

Did you paint or powder coat the wheels? Are they a matt or satin finish?

JoelPirela 02-07-2012 07:56 AM

The wheels are painted in sating black.

NorthVan 02-07-2012 08:09 AM

Next it needs to be lowered.

JoelPirela 02-07-2012 08:36 AM

I want a 1.5 - 2" drop but I don't want anything over complicated, rubbing or scraping speed bumps... (HR springs maybe?)

MBENZF1 02-07-2012 12:00 PM

Am I blind? I don't see any pictures, I'm interested in seeing the front LED's.

Thanks

Edit: Just figured out that my work internet is blocking this out, shows up as blanks.. sorry.

JoelPirela 02-07-2012 12:18 PM

There are there..... IDK why you can't see them. ??!!??

NorthVan 02-07-2012 01:28 PM

I see the pictures too.

Regarding Lowering, 2"is extreme, and without CO's can't be done. Having the wheel gap reduced will improve your car's look.

JoelPirela 02-07-2012 01:37 PM

maybe 1" then... can I do that with HR springs?

Johnny DB 02-07-2012 02:33 PM

Joel,

Is the 2012 steering wheel a direct swap (997.2 to 997.1)? Can you reuse your airbag?
