I absolutely loathe the Fabspeed fake carbon look trinket. It's something I would've put on my Ford Ranger when I was in high school. They'd sell way more of them if they were just plain black.I'm not sure why Rennline hasn't started developing a product to compete.

Car came with body-colored fan, not my favorite, but it's so clean and shinny I'll leave it alone.

I love the cobalt fan - is that a product of being Rudyfied?

Yep it's a Rudy touch. Like the carbon bypass comment, a natural, more mechanical finished fan would probably suit the engine bay better. But these engines never look that great to other people, so the fan is a nice bit of eye candy to distract them from all the wires and hoses.
Rudy put a couple nice touches on the car after he bought it from Nathan. Aero mirrors, Porsche colored crest wheel caps, Sport seats, changed the shift **** and parking break lever to blue, 5mm rear spacers. He was looking for a blue Ruf sport steering wheel, but I bought the car before he could find one.... dang!
BTW: Ivy, VA? Awesome driving and cycling area! Will shout out next time I do Skyline Drive.

Me too. Love the detail of this engine bay. My C2 is silver, so to do that probably wouldn't be the best use of my time 
A quick question for the ignorant. Why are people removing heater fan etc. They've decided that heating isn't necessary and want to save a modicum of weight whilst clearing up the engine bay and providing better access? If that's the case, I guess the heat exchangers go to?
BTW, I'm a newby to aircooled Porsches, in case you hadn't guessed

But it is also there to transport heated air from the engine bay into the Wheel Archs if the engine bay gets top warm and the engine is switched off.

However, I'll probably keep mine as is, considering your comment about helping to remove hot air once the engine is turned off.
Salud!

It’s a vanity mod, and I can see where it wouldn’t make sense to most, but the engine bay is a little cleaner, and my heater still works great so why not.
Just to make sure we’re talking about the same thing, are your referencing the Function First trans mount insert? I couldn’t wait to install it in this car (second time) But, I want a car that feels a little bit tighter and more focused, but not harsh. I have the soft insert. There’s very little on/off throttle drivetrain slop in my car, but it’s not harsh. From my experience, it’s the last piece in the puzzle for a locked-down drivetrain. (Stiffer motor mounts, FD golden rod, rs short shift, with forward rod). All of that really improve the handling and feeling of stability coming into corners, something I appreciate in a rear engines car.
And it acts as a support to the OEM mount.
