First thing I took care of was removing a small dent on the LR quarter using paintless dent removal, next was replacing the WeatherTech mats that came with the car with new OEM carpeted mats. The interior just got a little cozier

 

Today I installed the Porsche SPASM Front Lip for the 991 (P/N: 991505525011E0). Thanks to EMC2 for the idea and tutorial on this awesome OE+ mod.

 

Some more small parts arrived today! These were a super quick install, some LED Canbus license plate lights. Sorry for iPhone photos

 

 

This car needs to be lowered ASAP.

But, great pics!

 

100%, coilovers are already on the way!

Thanks!

 

I installed the Fabspeed Carbon Exhaust Tips and over the weekend I had the rear valance wrapped in satin black. Unfortunately it is raining here in Ottawa so I only have garage photos...

 

 

Great shots! Looking forward to following the build progression.

 

Thank you

 

I finally made it out with the 911, it sat all week! I have not fine tuned tip position and angles yet, but here is a snap from Sunday evening:

 

My factory titanium emblem was peeling at the C, so I decided to take advantage of this situation and replace it with one that ties into the GTS style rear diffuser and carbon tips a little better. Today I installed a new satin black "Carrera" emblem from a 996, aside from the color it is identical to the 997 factory emblem. I will get some nicer exterior shots tomorrow, for now some quick garage pics:

 

Some more photos of the satin black emblem:

 

Coilovers are on and preliminary ride height is set! I did the install at home with a second set of hands, it went relatively smooth and took about 6 hours to complete. I will wait for everything to settle, fine tune the ride height and then get the alignment done. The car drives amazing now, stays very flat in corners and the ride is great. Here is a photo before I get a chance to do a full photoshoot later this week:
