Hair dryer for 5 minutes and some dental floss and they are off. Some light buffing with wax and you're set.

Console lid with Porsche crest
No, this does not make the car go faster, but it still looks cool IMO

Looks great!

I dig this thread. The creativity is seemingly endless.
For the first time tho, mod is not up my alley (but hey, this isn't my alley). The crest is too large somehow, but that is of course entirely subjective.
The track pics are absolutely great. The Tequila Patron one looks straight out of ALMS.

I hope you will like red seat belts (but it is also a bit show off with no real purpose...). I had them -and like them- on my Cayman R. No ETA yet though...

Beautiful car.
#248
I would have gotten the same...but mine is CF. Great mod!

SM,
just saw the link to your GTI build thread....lots of info there.
The GTI is a blast to drive as a DD... so much fun...I will do the APR Stage 1 or 2 once i rack up a few more miles.
great info here and there.
thanks for posting.

The BMW D group is in fact the 'novice' group. From there, you work your way up to the A group. I do not have a lot of track experience and my goal is to get to a point where I can use the car to its full potential. Still way to go As much as I like to do performance upgrades to my cars, I recognize that the driver is the #1 part to improve
#251
Stage 2 is already plenty of power and torque and I am not sure Stage 3 would make a lot of sense. With an improved suspension -and brakes- I already feel that the car is a bit overwhelmed by the tuned engine.
Maybe I will eventually strip down the GTI of all the trim and comfort equipment and continue to upgrade the underpinnings to turn it into a purely track car, but the 991 is so much fun that I am not sure that a souped up GTI would be better.

Some 4-5 years ago, I asked myself about who was crazy enough to buy a white car and I was typically going for Black, Dark grey's or Silver. Here I am, having bought 3 white cars this year (not counting the Cayman R I traded in). Black wheels on one of them only... for now.

Was hoping to hear something today but nothing yet. Grrrrr
