I will take some as soon as I get it back from shop , getting the calipers painted Red , red seatbels , removing fog lights and installing brake ducts , removing the tint as well and also installing OEM speedlines on this baby I think that should cover everything on this car

Wow wow wow. Looking good Rudy!

How did that 997 sneak in with all the air cooled cars?


Do you have a favorite? What about a least favorite?

There is a single wire connector just to the right (drivers side) of the latch. If that is disconnected the frunk and interior lights will not turn on with the Hood open. The light in the frunk will illuminate if the interior lights come on so it really is still convenient to leave it that way.

My experience with this is with my turbo, but I suspect it would be the same on all 993's.

I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure you need to remove the front trim piece to see it, but it can be connected/disconnected by Braille with in in place. I believe the connector is cylindrical and rubberish. It just pulls apart.

Beautiful collection Rudy. You guys worrying about the charger and trunk light are making things way too difficult. If we are talking 993's which I think we are, when you open your trunk the trunk light should go on. Simply push down the latch where the trunk latches and closes. You will here it click. This is just as it would be with the hood closed. You will also see the light go out when you close the latch. Just simply rest the hood on the latch and you will have plenty of space for your battery tender wire.

I always wondered how many you owned now we know. Very nice collection great eye for color.

So which is your favorite and how do you find the time to drive them? I only have a few and I can't find enough time.

BTW your going to need to change the cayman wall art out for the new GT4

Hey Opo, just curious, how often do you open the door and think, "damn, this is so cool!"

Congratulations on a highly curated collection of great cars. Beautiful!
