Yea, I am debating whether to get stud conversion or just longer lug bolt.
I also still waiting for my street wheels to arrive.
Lowering wise, I will decide after the track event in May whether to go with lowering spring or coilover.

It is acceptable. It is not that loud. It still have the original muffler sound on light throttle, but goes louder when you step on it.
I was about to drive home with muffler bypass, but then I chickened out. Maybe I'll throw in the muffler bypass on track day.
It took me 45 min to 1 hour to do the swap.

Welcome back to the fold and the car is looking sweet.

Check into the TPC Dynamic Suspension Control module. It will make your PASM a fully dynamic and active suspension and the stiffness parameters can be customized based on g-forces.

I have the smoked Dectanes leds (no longer being made) on the rear of my silver car and my wife has the normal red and clear Dectanes on her pink one.

...where do you think most of those mods came from - LOL.

But thanks. There are a lot of posts in other places, and many more on Rennlist too (same username), but you're right in that I never started a thread on either car,.mainly because I didn't initially plan to make all these changes. When I bought the silver car, it already had the RUF supercharger and front bumper. Mods were going to consist of adaptive sport seats and tinted taillights, and that was going to be it - oh my, that was a long time and a lot of dollars ago. I have all the pics and everything chronologically tracked on a spreadsheet. I probably could create one and it might be fun to relive the changes and how they came about. Good idea.

The pink car was more a one and done as we bought it knowing we were going to paint it pink pearl, and install the TT decklid, the bumpers happened to come up for sale at the right time, and not much has been done since those changes and the respray to pink back in 2013. I don't have as many work in process pics of it though.
