Cool Simple Visual Mods... Complete! Pix, pix, pix :-)

Hi Guys,

Well, my external mods insofar as basic look are complete and I thought I'd share some pix with everyone.

I added the SpeedArt Carbon Fiber Intercooler Covers.

The only remaining mod to the exterior will be to replace the CF wrapped rear wing with a proper CF rear wing. But the basic look, unless I decide later to change the shape of the wing itself, will remain as is shown in the pictures.

Hope you enjoy them and please feel free to critique.

List of Mods:

1- Glossy CF Mirror Housings - RotTec (Thank go out to Ray @ Rottec)
2- Glossy CF Roof Spoiler - RotTec (Thank go out to Ray @ Rottec)
3- Glossy CF Intercooler Duct Covers - SpeedArt (Thanks go out to Dan @ Vivid Racing)
4- Glossy CF Wrap Front Spoiler Lip - Wrapped locally in Kuwait (Thanks to Auto Design Center Kuwait) (German made wrap)
5- Glossy CF Wrap Rear Wing - Wrapped locally in Kuwait (Thanks to Auto Design Center Kuwait) (German made wrap)

Photography Venue: Kuwait's main landmark, the Kuwait Towers:

Looks good man! Now you need to do a set of these HRE Clearance Wheels like Arone997TT did. I got a set with tires for you super cheap

Thank you sir! One of my biggest concerns starting out on the exterior look was not to loose the subtlety. Thank you for confirming that I succeeded.

Thanks! I loved the process of adding the parts in stages. Each part added just a little bit of difference to the look and helped me decide to get the next one.

You know, it was initially my second choice after black. I went with meteor because in Kuwait weather, you need to wash a black car several times a day and it would still manage to show dust and dirt in between the washes.
Now, after having had for while and having finished my exterior look, I like the color as much as black.

Thanks Dan!

Regarding the HRE wheels, I'm loving the stock wheels too much. They are two tone, polished and grey. The grey part looks as if it is paint-to-match my exterior.

If I decide to change the wheels, I'll ask you to hook me up with some super light weight ones. BBS or Tech1 maybe?

Thanks Ray. You know it!

Right now, the little birdie tells me that Europipe's 997.2 exhaust release may be imminent.
I'm saving up for that.

My very next available mod budget after the EP exhaust is going to make your pocket fatter and my ShadowFax's tail sexier!
