Hell yeah, giving the big middle finger to the gender neutral demasculinized PDK!
This would be the only 991.1 I would be interested in owning. Points for originality...

I highly appreciate a fellow nutcase, although your toys are a bit higher level than mine. But while been doing a conversion from a plain 996 Carrera to 996 turbo engined -with 997 VTG turbos, GT2/Cup transmissioned GT3R looker I know the anxiety during the build and the reward of driving the finished beast. One with all electronic bells and whistles working like OEM.
Lookig forward to seeing a video of your car!

Getting pretty excited now.

You are a brave sole and you are my hero. Really proud of you and what you are trying to accomplish, and I think upon the successful completion of this project you will turn into a bigger hero, and even the skeptics will join our side. Keep up the good work. Mark

On serious note, you could have save money here as most Porsche dealership service departments have a huge collection of these buttons. My service guy at Sunset Porsche has a large selection of these buttons which he collects during warranty repairs, and offer them to me free of charge to replace my damaged or worn pieces, and whenever I need to add more buttons to my existing console for additional stuff such radar detector, mute buttons or reverse camera, etc. the dead spots on the console can be quite useful to add more functions. Again great job bud. Mark

Reality is very FEW would invest $ in a project like this. Very few shops could pull it off too without parts falling off while driving.
Hats off to the OP and BGB.
Reality also is that Porsche creates marketing and product hierarchy in its product lines that benefit them financially. They like to tell the enthusiast what they should want or need.
They limit production for their benefit and marketing too. Create more hype by having tightened supply.
They play a sales game along with making great cars. At this point, they're a great marketing company that also makes great cars. It's no longer making great sports cars that can be enjoyed by the masses without seeing them as investment portfolios (by dealers and buyers) in this current environment.

I know...i'm just being facetious. Just as in life, you can't please everyone but these forums have a lot of good people on them and without any of them we probably wouldn't be where we are. thanks folks.
I'm anxious to get this car down here. it's amazing how many people have already pinged me about this project.
The OP has a baby on the way so we are going to thrash to get this turned around ASAP!
