Embarrassed to say it. Bought that over priced painted key blank. Thinking about the raised alcantara arm rest and maybe houndstooth seat inserts. “Stop me before I kill again,”

Looks great! Just an unsolicited opinion.... a SPASM lip would really look sharp on your C4 given the side skirts. https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKU991SSL.html

Thanks for the advice, I had not considered this but looks like a nice subtle upgrade for not much $. I'll look into this.

Default This is what I bought my 991 today

Installed Fabspeed Sport Headers with 200 cell cats to go with my previously installed AWE SwitchPath.

The sound is entirely different, hard to describe, lower RPM's very civilized but once you get on the gas, SWEET JESUS!
higher pitch, a lot louder kinda Italian 10 cylinder sounding. My wife instantly noticed the difference even without knowing what
was changed, she actually liked it.
As for increased performance, ?? My butt dyno is not that good.

I'll have to drive it for a couple months before deciding if the PSE is going back on with the Fabspeed Headers.

Maybe it was the speed on track but I couldn't keep magnetic numbers on the GT4 without taping them. After about 4 months one of them blew off driving home from the track after I untaped them. I've been told the "magnet" loses it's holding power after 6 months. I didn't buy them from Dan so he probably uses better material. Just my experience FWIW.

I bought the CF Magnagraphik rock guards last year. The ones I received didn't fit properly. They were larger than the factory clear rock guards. The look wasn't bad. To be honest, I thought it looked better without them on. So I returned them. I think they look great on red cars. Mine is GT Silver Metallic.

Had the PSE exhaust tips ceramic coated

Wow, this looks great. Was it hard to get the lettering centered? Also, where did you purchase the lettering from? This is on my list of to-dos.
