Some more close ups of the lights and emblems. I took these while dropping my ride off to Tym to get: rear wiper delete, body matched interior pieces (most of the plastic and seat backs), SPI Texture Black rear exhaust tips, big brake kit, and PSS10's to get rid of the monster truck look. I will post picks when Tym is done.

Thanks, I really think this is how Porsche should have done the 996's from the factory. With that said...

In terms of how and what:

-Decide on two options 1)body matched like mine or 2)flat black (should have pics of this soon)
-lights must be shipped out to:

Switzer Performance Innovation, Ltd.

45300 U.S. Hwy 20
Suite B.
Oberlin, OH 44074
Phone: 440-724-8495
Contact: Tym Switzer
Email: tym@switzerperformanceinnovation.com


-If local (Ohio) car dropped off to SPI and Tym will do the R&R at no additional charge
-Light housing is disassembled and components carefully stored
-Head lights innards are prepped, painted, and reassembled
-Turn around time is 15 days upon receiving and price is $1599.00 USD
-Dates must be scheduled on appointment basis to keep turn around within the 15 days

*some older models or sunlight abused housings may require additional work which takes time and patience*

I hope this helps.

Thank you! I have been doing this since I was a kid and it seemed that the best looking cars always were clean and had every detail taken care of! I guess its just continuing (and getting more expensive LOL)

Awesome...what wheels and specs are you going with? Also I love your TT (link: I couldn't wait to share...)That was the color I was looking for, but couldn't find one so I had to settle with seal grey. I agree on Tym doing awesome work! He has built 3 cars for me (03 Evo, E55 AMG, and 996TT), and every time he works his magic it brings a smile to my face!!

I'm going with 19" HRE P40's in the brushed finish for the wheels. As for the suspension, just an H&R Spring Kit. I'm trying to take out some of the body roll, but not take away from the nice ride that it has stock.

Thats going to be hot on your ride! dk996tt went with those wheels as well and they are stunning! With the springs and wheels, your car is going to look as good as she runs! Congrats!!
