I 'cut' the template in 2 parts that could each fit on a letter size page.
Here's a PDF. Just print at 100% size and assemble the template.
I hope it helps!

Awesome, thanks so much. This will be a huge help. I love this forum.

I have seen the light!!!
Meaning, I have decided to keep my PSE (throwing away a good piece of engineering was too difficult for me) and I'll get Fabspeed Headers with 200cell cats installed. They'll provide a bit more sound and hopefully a little bit more oomph. I have a good -subjective- recollection of how they performed on my first 991. That will be it for now. The Scorpion Tuning exhaust is still very tempting, but I am not ready yet!
While I was at it, I ordered BMC air filters. I expect to pick up 0.3hp but I love a little DYI. In addition I had found out on my previous 991 that the air filter got dirty quite rapidly...

Carbon Fiber trim by oCarbon
I still had a set of silver dashboard and centre console trim from my previous 991 and rather than throwing a second set away to upgrade to CF, I got in touch with Matt @ oCarbon (http://ocarbon.com) to do a CF conversion.
Here are the parts that will be oCarbon-ised:
I have used some of Matt's products before in my Audi S4 and was extremely satisfied with the quality, so I am really looking forward to get the parts back
I should get work in progress pictures of the parts and will share them.

Yes, I have the mod bug in the worst way and I have not found a rehab program for this type of addiction yet
I have nothing else in mind for the time being though

The 'spoiled kid' already drives an APR Stage 2+ GTI (with Coilovers, BBK and a couple of suspension upgrades).
I built that car for myself 2 years ago when I thought I would not daily drive my P-car and wanted something a bit less conspicuous for visiting customers etc.
I ended up driving the Porsche(s) everyday -there is no substitute- and there was no sense to buy a car for my son when he started driving (plus I wanted him to start with a manual transmission). The GTI is a fun car and with close to 300hp, it is stupid quick. I still enjoy driving it.

Hey Serge- back in your pre-911 days, I was showing my son your GTI upgrades, then the Cayman R (you're always an inspiration) and he got a VW Golf R and did all the APR upgrades that you did on your GTI. Great car for the money and very fun to drive. Even with the 991S, it brings a big grin to my face every time I drive it.

Thanks! A GTI -and even more an R- is a great car and the best value for money you can get in its price range. Throw a few APR upgrades on top and it becomes a ton of fun. During a wet track day at AMP last Friday, a tuned GTI was almost able to stay ahead of the 991 and passed a couple of 997's
