The car looks absolutely fantastic. It has all the right touches and color combo.

Enjoy it.

Ed that is an amazing looking interior, usually 964's just don't look "right" when you add padded leather or alcantera, but this one is PERFECT , just the right amount of contrast..so well done, how long did the interior take to do?

Long over due catch up on this thread. Well done! The matching trim, door handles, and wheels are some of my favorite details. The matching speaker cone is a next level detail I assume was intentional.

I delivered the car to Classic 9 in November and they started the job in earnest around April and I picked it up in early June.
Rod was awesome and he helped guide me to the final mix of Alcantara and leather. I'm like you in that I don't like too much Alcantara and actually opted for the leather dash and Alcantara door tops so as to minimize the Alcantara, even as the transition from dash to door top would seem to dictate keeping it the same. We made it flow with the stitching.

Speaker cones were lucky as I specced the highest end speakers that I could. Stereo sounds awesome. Rear footwell JL subs make it happen.

Did you happen to share how those footwell subs were built/installed? I didn't see any in the thread and would love to see your solution.

I ordered these JL subs pre-built with carpet already installed out of California.

Best sound that I've heard in an older 911.

I had nutserts installed so that I can quickly secure speakers or remove them when desired.

Thanks eddieb. That's a much better solution that what I have which sits on the folded down seats. Same 8" JL subs.

Tim Olsen (Olsen Motorsports) is having a series of professional pictures taken for publication purposes. Tim has this build driving beautifully ... 1k miles with no issues except time to drive it.

As if we all were not drooling over this build enough, the pro shots are even more fantastic! Keep enjoying that 964.
