Hey back in the day I would buy from mbofmelbourne on eBay. They had the cheapest prices and free shipping. I even took some photos for the seller which they still use on their eBay Clear Tail Lights listing haha. But now their shipping costs are really high. I would recommend you get it from SuncoastParts.com. Free shipping! Suncoast really stepped it up since I last shopped with them!

Let us know, thanks! -Dom

Hey! Yes fitment is different for PSE tips. For my Base 991 in 2013 I got Fabspeed Tips. IIRC 997 tips would also fit non-PSE 991.1s but I may be remembering wrong. If just considering the tips, it's just a cosmetic difference, no sound difference!

PSE







Non-PSE

Thank you very much!! Yes it does have PSE, I will definitely look into the AWE! I already love the pops and burbles--so addicting. PSE is an absolute must-have option for me now!

I happened to check out your car at Phillips 2 month back. It was in excellent condition. May I ask how much you finalized the deal for? They offered at 77k I think

Nice! What a small world hahaha. Since I am such a shrewd and seasoned negotiator I got them all the way down to 76k for my final purchase price

Thanks.. No that is matte CF pieces not a wrap. Made by TechArt for Sport Design Mirror set and had them installed by my dealership. Had original OEM mirrors and decided to upgrade to the Sport Design mirrors since they look much more like the GT3 ones. Got them ordered and painted and then found these CF ones here on RL by a member for sale who had upgraded and I think no longer had the car these came from. So I jumped on them for about 50% retail cost from Techart. Kept some of the mirror in Agate Gray and think they really show of a nice contrast! Here are some close up pics and ones from when they arrived including the donor's car that I also saved. Enjoy!

Car looks amazing. If it wasnt for your post I wouldnt even consider tackling some of these. So far I switched out the orange side markers and exhaust tips. Thanks for posting all the progress!!

Vorsteiner is worth it. My old C4S was also agate. It had Vorsteiner Carbon, Brixton Forged, Techart Springs.

turned heads everywhere.

Is your rear black "911" emblem the original one? It looks larger.
