Ok, here's a pic from my cellphone of the "new" car. Here's what's been done so far and forgive me if I'm saying things wrong. My son has done most of the work and I'm not exactly sure everything done to it or what they're called. We repaired the wing failure with a couple hrs of medium work. Then, we placed a Precision Porsche Strosek wing, Softronic ECU flash, Agency Power DVs, F pipe, exhaust, headers, and dual snorkel carbon intake w/ K&N; Denso Iridium plugs, Bilstein PSS10s lowered 1", H&R Rear Sway, HRE P43's (19's) with Michelin PS2's
We're waiting on the Bayson front lip (impending delivery) and Boothe Design center caps along with a Kenwood DNX9140 which will go n next Monday. THEN, I'll be finished for awhile.
The mechanic who owns the shop who worked on it has a 355 and he says my car is actually faster than his!!! That's coming from a Ferrari fanatic...But I am still thinking it needs K24s

PS Car very dirty due to snow/ice and 10 degree temps!

Awesome. Although a 355 will get killed by a reflashed 996TT; not even close.

I didnt mention that because it is always my first mod 
V1 from my M6 has been hardwired into the Turbo via splice off of the Sunroof. K24s are about a year down the road when we go for 500+whp.

Finally got a clean picture of my car in sunlight. We don't have anything like San Francisco's art museum in the night, just a cold and windy dust bowl!
It's in the shop now getting a Kenwood 9140 installed. Also, when we changed the alignment with the new suspension, we now have a front bearing that is squealing. Those are on order as well.
Oh well, and the saga continues...

Next thing on the list (that never ends!) is a new front bumper. After carefully looking around at the options, we ordered a Precision Porsche GT2 bumper with an OEM carbon fiber front radiator grill. Should be in about a week or two from now. Hope it fits as well as everyone says it does. Will post picks after the paint shop. DOES IT EVER END? (I could of picked up a used 997tt by now!)

Turbo's could be later, but I just need to slow it down for awhile!!! I'm sure that if I go with any HP stuff, the reliability/DD has to start going downhill. I could be wrong, but I'm happy now with the HP. BTW, have bought everything through Dan at Vivid and he's outstanding. Also, a great shout out for Edwin who swayed us over to the Precision Porsche stuff.

Even if though you are in Texas, you're closer to Phoenix than Houston.
