The pipe is 3" down and most of the way, then goes up to 4" after the bend behind the axle. It just sticks out a bit further than usual, and looks odd because the bumper pads are not there anymore. I don't really care though. LOL

Here is the only other angle I currently have... I'll take more pictures of it next time I take the car out... might be a while though.



and, here is a test fitment picture... before painting.

A few interior shots...you can see the Sport seats with custom suede insert (makes them MUCH more comfortable!), the short throw shifter, silver ring accents around the factory gauges, the LR gauge panel (w/ MBC, boost & WB02). I've upgraded the sound system as well with a Sony head unit with a USB port and some decent speakers.

I recovered the center console lid in black and added a dash mat.

The black "box" looking thing is my solution to hold a water bottle, it folds out.

And finally...couldn't resist a photo of the new shoes for Mistress #951

Very nice! Where did you source the trim rings for around the gauges?

That and a euro bumper are the only few exterior mods I'd like to do to my car. Looks nice!

Huh.. I'll have to look around then... I really like the look, but a buddy of mine bought a set for is 928 from a relatively well-known source and the fitment was pretty bad... and they were $$$$. That's the only place I've seen them though.

a local shop (PG Custom Upholstery)...cheap too. Admittedly it's faux leather (pleather, leatherette...hell, vinyl!) I wasn't going for concours.

They stuffed the centers and covered in (pseudo) suede. My back doesn't sweat. Originally I was planning on a number of TT's with this car (of which I've done a grand total of...two!).

I also had them "delete" the external piping. With the big bolsters it would have been hard to keep the leading edge intact. I went with smooth seams instead.

I brought them some fairly decrepid sport seats off EBay and they transformed them! The PO and I did the install. It was easy and Porsche was even kind enough to provide a wiring harness for the (now) power passenger seat...plug and play!

I have a euro rear bumper in my garage.... for the right price I may consider selling it! I see you are in O-town, shoot me a PM someday if you can swing by, I'm in the Longwood area, and I've got plenty of other parts I need to sell also!

I love to see stock cars. Keep it that way. Thanks for the pics.
