Pictures of my slate grey 996tt...just because
I've had the car for a bit over two months, and to be honest, I've worked on it a lot more than driven it so far. Car was solid, but just needed some TLC from an actual enthusiast. Now I can actually enjoy the car. Not going to be able to do much else with it for a while, as I am currently in escrow on a worthy home for the turbo (and me). So far here's what I've done:
  • Much needed detailing inside and out
  • New tires (still had the original 10 year old front tires on it when I bought it, talking about sketchy...)
  • Engine oil and filter change with 5W-40
  • Transaxle oil change with Delvac 75W-90
  • 997 short shift kit
  • Gbox detent
  • 710N diverter valves
  • Authentic Porsche GT2 rear lid and wing in factory original slate grey
  • GT2 rear carpet
  • Removed rear wiper
  • Painted bumperettes
  • New front spoiler
  • Full coverage clear bra, entire front end, headlights, mirrors, A-pillars, sills and lower rear-quarter panels, intercooler inlet ducts, behind rear wheels, wing leading edges, and door handles
  • Silver hood crest
  • Matte silver rear emblem
  • Tint on rear lights
  • iPod connection

Thanks. Exactly right, it needs both badly. But some PSS10's and BBS FI's are going to have to wait

That thing looks awesome! I've often thought about removing my rear wiper and rear seats. My car is lowered and everyday I scrape, sometimes I wish it had the factory springs in it.

You car looks really great!

Very nice. Did you do the Gbox detent yourself? If so how hard was it?

In my opinion it is very easy. Done on jackstands in my garage in very little time.
