gradyex, I emailed eric directly to ask about the black logo and he helped me get them. Do the same too. He just doesn't have it in the "pull down menu."
If you didn't order the CD changer then it'd probably be much easier for them to install the Dension 500 unit for you. I'm not sure how involved the process is yet. I'm having it done tomorrow up in Vancouver.
I have no plans to paint the lower sills. Not right now but maybe sometime down the road. Even if I did, it'd only be the side sills not the front/rear.

Great, fill me in on the install and where you actually located the ipod itself. The quality of the music will sound a bit better if you record/download your music in Aiff format instead of mpeg. You fit less songs but quality is superior (I have a small home studio with a Pro Tools set up to record my drums). I then just upload everything to my iPod which is so compact. By the way those wheels are the best I have seen other than stock and it would be a no brainer for me if I decided to change the stocks down the road.

I wasn't too happy with the initial look and the car didn't feel as "tight" around the corners as I'd have liked.
I came across a set of wheels from the GT3 RS which is a widebody just like the Turbo with wheels designed accordingly. These wheels had an offset of 51mm just as the Turbo wheels do so no more spacers would be needed. The car once feels as tight around the corners as when I first took delivery not to mention how good it looks!
No more spacers
Deep concave dish look
Vantage shot with the new wheels
The view that most folks see when I'm around
Very happy with the latest mods! And no, I'm not planning to swap springs. I scrape the front end already as it is even when driving at an angle.

He’s right about that one shot “The view that most folks see when I'm around” That thing was a monster the other day in the twistys. The car looks even classier then before. I think the handling is just because your getting more miles on it. Defiantly an awe-inspiring car to drive along side, just before you pulled away.

I have a set of Porsche OEM black lug nuts as I said earlier. I got a set of black wheel studs to use up front. The dealership accidentally ordered a set of silver wheel studs which were a bit too long. That's why they used the stock bolts temporarily until the correct studs are sent to me. That's why you see the silver bolts in the close up shots. I should have the black ones on by Tuesday/Wednesday.
