Thanks!

get a wheel with a new airbag - full leather so you have the stiching - It will look awesome!

Thank you EVERYONE for all of the kind words. I find that Porsche owners are pretty much the same everywhere you go. Always welcoming and friendly. I sat in front of the grocery store for an hour one day talking to a 993 owner.

A fellow Rennlister helped me out with this. I'm in North Carolina and the GT3 was in Houston. Dayle Pugh was kind and generous enough to take part of his Saturday to go over and check the car out for me. He came back with a very detailed report. I don't think I'd have gone through with it without his help.

I'll post some more photos when my map pocket covers, door pulls and Lloyd's mats come in.

looks great Charles. don't over pay for the front lip..you can get an RS lip for less than what the dealer wants for the stock one...many of the sponsors could help you with the stock lip or the RS lip...enjoy...

congrats on the new car. Call Fabryce at GMG and he will get you a cup lip for much cheaper than the dealer is asking. I got one from him for mine. drive safe and enjoy

Charles, very nice machine, she looks marvelous!! Welcome to the 6speed family.. Do you live in N.C.? O.B.T.W. in photo number 5 you should never let the hired help be photographed standing next to your machine... Damn painters anyway...
