Seems like these have been getting popular lately so you can probably find many different versions but these are the ones I chose and I am very pleased with them. Installation is simple, however one tip I’d recommend is build the middle hexagon first and use that as a center piece to build off of, you’ll be able to square the lights up much easier that way. Total lumen between the 2 sets is 53k so they are very bright.

The Raptor is down for a few days while the ECU is getting unlocked by Cobb, so I drove the Turbo to the office for the first time in my 2 years of ownership. It was a good reminder of how versatile this car is.
Dug mine out of the corner of the shop to get it inspected. Tomorrow off to the body shop to have them look at the bumper cover that was damaged last year.
Yeah you have a wall on the other side and the pole does a good job keeping other car doors away. It is technically a "Visitor" spot but it rarely gets used since the angle makes it kind of hard to pull into unless you are very deliberate with your approach.
It is also tucked away from the front door so it does not get a lot of attention which is the main reason I haven't driven the car to the office. I have a wealth management practice that partners with a CPA firm and I will say that accountants generally think everything is too expensive and everyone is overpaid. So from a perception standpoint, I have been reluctant to bring the car to the office and deal with the comments/opinions. Anybody else deal with that?

My wife and I run a very successful CPA practice and we decided about 15 years ago that it wasn't worth trying to hide the Porsches, Mercedes and BMW's that we have previously owned and currently own. We happily park them out front for our clients to see and generally no one even pays attention. Many of our clients drive some crazy rides so it obviously wouldn't bother them. Some of them wouldn't know a Kia from a Porsche. Our motto is that we work extremely hard and life's too short to worry about what someone thinks. Besides, we like our clients to know that we're successful and can help them be successful and achieve their financial goals.

My original concern was a clients perception of the car, but ironically, like you pointed out, most would not the difference and the ones that do LOVE it. In fact, I have opened up about the ownership to a few key clients who I know share a similar passion and it has done nothing buy help build our relationship. I have invited a few out to cars and coffee which they sincerely appreciated since they did now know it was a thing. And most can also appreciate the work it takes to be able to afford a car like this which tends to inspire some confidence in them knowing their advisor is in fact working his *** off for them.
My concern was the perception of the CPAs I partner with who do not share the same belief that an expensive car is a worthwhile expense. I had to overcome some serious hurdles initially from the same CPAs to get to the position I am currently in at a relatively young age as they believed I was too young to successfully handle the client relationships. So the last thing I wanted to battle on top of this was the idea that I was just trying to be flashy or "show off" which is the furthest from the truth.
A joke I heard (please don't take offense) was that CPAs see the cost in everything and the value in nothing... But I am glad to hear there are some CPAs out there who do NOT share this sentiment.
The fact I switch it up regularly doesn't help matters either.
That was my original plan. Just keep swapping cars and spots so they never know which one is actually mine. But the 991 has been too good to let go of...yet.
I am loving the Inconel Kline on the 996... I thought you have always had a soul on the 991.
I have had the Soul for a while... Previously it has a fantastic on-throttle sound, but incredibly loud decel pops (bangs really) that were just too much for me and I replaced it with a Kllne + HJS 100 cell cats and equal length Kline headers.
I've also swapped to a Cobb/Sam tune tune, and wanted to try the catless Soul again. It definitely has aggressive decel burble and an occasional pop, but nothing like the shotgun blasts I was previously getting. Not sure if it is the tune, or perhaps the headers smoothing things out, or maybe I just previously had an exhaust air leak?
I'll run this combo for a while and report back.
I also run catless titanium x-pipes on both the 996 Turbos and just love the titanium sound. I imagine inconel is similar.

I figured the lack of cats was the main reason for the loud decel gunshots when the Soul was on. With the HJS cats on now, wouldn't that be a good explanation for burble/pop replacing bangs?
