Annoying, right? But I figured "screw it" just give me my car. I'll deal with it later. So happy with the overall work and look - over-the-moon!

Car looks fantastic! Ever considered a ducktail or something to add a bit more balance visually to the rear without a big wing?

Thank you. I actually love the look of the 991R and that's what i'm shooting for. I'm looking to accent the "look" with appropriate wheels. Honestly, I'm not a fan of any wing (other than full race) on the 911.

Looks nice... good luck if you contact Gert and order that tequipment rollbar. Mine should be installed in the spring as sitting in my garage now. Remember best time for that rennline FE is at time of roll bar install...

also if ordering from rennline they make a nice looking pedal kit and boards...mods never end! (pic below of mine... had black (pic 1) then went silver (pic 2).

keep modding!!!

Thanks - I want to get a pair of GT seats to go with the roll bar. I've purchased a few items from Rennline including the 4-pedal set and of course the GT3 vent. Great products and service.

Your car is exceptional!

Thanks. I'm going to keep it wingless. I'm amazed at how many are out there with either the GT3 or Aero bumper who've opted for the same. I've encountered quite a few on Facebook's 997 Enthusiast page.

I haven't yet purchased the setup but it's next in my list. Having just had the paint completed tomorrow she's going for the 60k service which set me back ~ $1500, and after that my next mod will be performance items.

Which intake?

I found it on their website. I like FabSpeed's dual and it's great eye-candy.

Thanks just the same for the tip and comment - much appreciated.
