I'm a pretty big guy but slim (6'2 190lbs)....and since there is not tilt steering I am debating Mod 7 or Prototipo...any experience on which will offer the best driving position? Thanks

Mod 7 will bring wheel 2" closer( which is a good thing). Prototipo is more like stock wheel. So if you like the look of Prototipo but want it closer just get a spacer. Look at the Singer cars, that's what they are doing. I went one step farther and got the eccentric adaptor, which raises it up an inch and lets me see all the way to 80mph on speedo.

Yeah, the Mod07 will give you a little more leg room, which I like, but what Steetdaddy is saying is good idea too. Never thought of running a spacer.

Do you mind saying how much they charged you for the shifter install with all the drilling, etc. I want a shop to do it as well, but am not quite sure what this goes for.

And I had a shop blast my tail lights the same way, I think it looks great.

That is a good deal, I did this job myself and it took me way longer than 2 hours.

To the OP: way to go on attacking some projects right out of the gate! Love the dark green.

Would love to see pics of your lights installed. I've struggled with the rear reflector and replacing isn't a solution to the pink. Perhaps it's just me, but the brand new part even looks a little to pinkish and faded. I wanted a perforated aluminum piece fitted, but haven't gotten to it.

You need to sub lease your father for carpet removal, because he did amazing work. It not only requires patience, but it's a horribly messy job.

Great to see another 964 being well cared for.

Started putting in the new sound deadening. Also installed a new amp and rewired the speakers and deck.

I'll snap some pics of the taillights in tomorrow.

You are using a film and VHT is a transluent paint for lights. You can smoke tails, corners etc... or go red.

I will be doing this next week...Supplies in hand.

We can purchase VHT from our Local Canadian Tire.....

Finally got to take her out for a spin this weekend. Very unique experience driving this car. Very different drive from the NSX, its hard to believe they are the same model year.
