I am located in NorCal, so will be looking forward to going on drives with fellow "air breathers".
Other mods:
I wanted a retro looking but quality radio, so had the McIntosh radio installed. Awesome quality.
Also had Escort remote radar installed above the radio, dash mount. it was accomplished without any drilling or cutting, so can be turned back to stock.
I had the front dash and rear shelf re-covered in full leather because there was sun/age damage.
The entire front end (bumper, hood, fenders) have been clear armored, so have the lower rockers and mirrors.
I was looking for a more little flair in the interior so I had the entire center console removed and dyed black (was grey).
This car has the original lux package wood burl in the doors, which I had covered in black vynal wrap to match the black leather.

Love Arena red...classic "kills bugs" car; will always be iconic 993TT color.
BUT this is interesting....hope I'm not offending anyone....BUT do you know they did Boxters, 996's, and Cayennes, (yes Cayennes) in Arena Red?
IMO Arena red looks stunningly beautiful in a 993TT. BUT all other models in Arena look kinda.....hideous
****Just for fun google image arena red in anything else especially a Cayenne and you'll see what I mean.
I had a Cayenne TT in black and loved it. Jaw dropped when I saw an image of it in Arena red.
Always thought this observation was funny/interesting. Anyone see rhyme or reason? But again just image search Cayenne arena red for a laugh.
