Added some color to my otherwise black / grey interior. Also purchased the trunk liner (perfect fit and alleviates the concerns of any spills up there) and had her given a nice bath.

Picked up the center console lid with the embossed crest. Looks nice and clean and was like a 5mim install.

I also have a right angle 12 volt torque wrench that is great for right spots and still does over 250 ft lbs. no problem. Milwaukee is the Porsche of power tools. Most robust and best build for a mass produced products. Festool and some others are more exotic but not as easily accessible or have the support.
Can I ask which power ratchet you'd recommend? I already have other Milwaukee tool and thinking about a ratchet but seems like there are a lot of options.

Adding some color to the interior. Starting with the chrono since the small hands on my black one got brittle and fell off. .

i finished this project a little over a week ago, but i made my own exhaust tips. I couldn't find any single wall straight cut tips for the 991.1 S/PSE setup. I thought it'd be easy to just find 4 exhaust tips that i like and clamp them on, but nope. Majority, if not all, universal tips were all double-walled. The single wall straight cut tips were only available for 991 Turbos and 991.2 PSE's. So... decided to make my own as i couldnt justify the average $500-800 price tags for 991.1 S/PSE exhaust tips while not even being 100% what i wanted. In the process, i've also learned a ton about metal hardness, particularly "work hardening" and how it applies to stainless steel. anyway, here's a pic i took early sunday morning when i went for a long drive to see how well they hold up.

also finally got my maxton front lip and side splitters on the car, but havent taken any nice pics of those yet.

How did you make these? Any welding involved? Did you make any plans? Sketches?
