Houston 996TT with mods from Vivid Racing...pics inside

I am the new owner of a 03' 996TT. The car was bone stock when I purchased it in July of 08'. I called up Dan from Vivid Racing to get his suggestions on what mods I should do first. Dan shipped me the goods the next day. I did the installation of everything you see below myself in my 2-car garage. I also recovered the door handles, arm rests, console and console sides in Ultra-Suede. I plan on building some fiberglass door pods and subwoofer enclosure very soon. I will keep every posted on the progress.


I am thinking about painting the center of the wheels a flat dark grey or color match gloss silver. What do you guys think?

Exterior mods:
-PSS10 Bilstein Coilovers
-19" Bombacher Vork Wheels (Used)
-Smoke front corner lights
-Softronic ECU flash (I really love it)
-Milltek exhaust
-Agency Power Short shift kit
-Agency Power diverter valves
-Agency Power headers
-Agency Power dual snorkel air intake w/K&N filter

Interior Mods:
-Ultra Suede door handles, arm rests, and console.
-Color match paint on console and dash
-Alpine headunit
-Polk Signature Series 6.5" components
-Polk 4-channel amp

The wheels are a little scratched up, I need to have them repainted anyway. I may just have them paint one just to see how it looks before I jump and do all four.

Funny story: These pics were taken in downtown Houston today. I didnt notice it at first but a guy was sitting down next to the building in background shooting up! My girlfriend was like, "let's get the Eff out of here."

Welcome to 6! Love the ultra suede piece. My cargraphic look very similar to your works. I've re-done the center in semi glossy black with polish lips. It look nice and I've received alot of positive feedback with them. Just give you one more idea!
