Thanks N2it... James can't be cloned. We've tried believe me I think they don't make them like that anymore. Maybe in Canada?

As always, great work! Let's trade jobs for a couple of months.
Hehe I did say that.... If we trade jobs I get the Cayenne TT, right?

If there's enough demand for it we'll certainly make some kits like we did for the 996GT3 seats. There won't be any customization if we do. It just goes right in....

Hi,

fantastic job, congratulations.

Those wheels in one particular picture really seem to fill out on the arches. Are they the same size of rims as the standard car. It also seems to sit pretty low, have you done any extra work there ?.

I also really like the idea of the wire to prevent any potential damage to the radiators.

Rgds.

That is a really beautiful job with the mods, but I have definitely learned to expect nothing less when i see your handle is the thread starter.

Cheers very much and the wheels are same size with very minimal differences in offset (talking 3mm). The car was delivered like that and no alignment changes were made....

The condensers on the side aren't all that vulnerable but it was the center radiator that was of most concern so hopefully they're protected now:P

Customer service

It's impressive just how far you guys will go to pay attention to all the details for each customer keeping in mind the driver's car and driving styles. Fantastic - wish there were photos of the customer's grin when he/she picks it up and drives it away.

Hehe... the first I think Cargraphic makes, the second we already have (although you need either 997 Sport/GT2 seats or 996GT3 seats to make it work).

I have a speed yellow GT2 so I'm guessing I have the seats. I can buy the screens at Cargraphic? I get tired of junk in there, etc.

Oh sorry I didn't realize you had an 08 GT2... We made this kit first and as far as making a run of them drop an Email to us and I'll add you to the list.

The screens were a one off though as we'd need the car?

nice work...

just wondering how you secured the mesh grill to the bumper (glue, screws, straps)? I am thinking of doing this project for my 997 turbo. Thanks

Peter
