Awesome!!! I just ordered wheels, springs, and GT3 front and rear bumpers for my 2005 C2. This thread along with M3racer08's, is making it hard for me to wait for all the parts to arrive! I think I am going to order the LED tail light too, really sets off the rear of the car. I am gonna try it wingless at first, try to go for a little different look there. Anyway, your car looks great, really shows that you know what your are doing when it comes to picking out the right parts to make a car look that much better.

Anyway, one question about the exhaust I have, how do you keep from getting a CEL for your secondary O2 sensors? It's the one thing I HATE about modding cars, is mods that cause the check engine light to go on. I opted for the center exit exhaust bumper, but I am still working with my local shop to figure out the exhaust details.

Thanks everyone!

It's a bit tough to see from the photos but they look like they might be a bit small, proportionally. I bought some tips - two individual ones - that seem to work really well.
More recently, I bought the RSS over-run tip pair for $25 on their special. I'm not sure it they have any left but that might be another option. The downside is that there's no plate to mount them to, but the upside is that they are the proper size and by having a one-piece design, you don't need to worry as much about the alignment of the two tips. I'm still using my original tips, but maybe I'll make a change sometime in the future.
Congrats on the build - it looks like a great project.

Thanks for the input, do you have a link on the tips?

The cups lift the car momentarily 2 inches to get over bumps or get into a driveway. The suspension rides and handles remarkably well.

Thanks! I think the wingless would look cool and maybe a ducktail wing wood even look cooler.

Well I am getting that dreaded cell, initially we extended the o2 bung and made a small hole to limit exhaust flow to the 02. That usually works on most cars but not the Porsche's. I did some research on here and it seems that a few guys are using this little fix.
I just ordered some and hopefully they work!

I LOVE the old school retro look. The green over tan really helps to pull off the gold wheels as I am sure you already know. All in all I love the car! nice work
