Yes get yours for $500 before the price goes up.. The higher the price the more the demand will be among those who want to post their pictures here. 🐏

My keys have always had body-colored outers and caliper-colored center. Below is from the Targa GTS I just sold and the Spyder will have Yellow outers and a Black center to match it. And I have some extra Black outers and centers if someone needs them.

Why don't you just combine both and make one all orange, center and sides. I think that would look better.

yea I might. I kind of like the carbon and orange combo... just thought I would play around with it... but now I’m thinking of taking the earlier suggestion and getting silver sides with orange center to match the paint and brakes.

Like ICU above, I took advantage of the Suncoast sale: (I think I'll drive around with my gas tank lid open so everyone can see my special cap)

today= this week:
DSC V3 Suspension Module & FD Motorsports ceramic coated mufflers (fister mod aka gundo hack, I think)

DSC is fantastic! Bought my 991.1S w/ KW HAS lowering springs and previous owner dropped it about 1 inch. Was very hard and unforgiving around town & Loud- lots of road noise being transmitted from tires and suspension into cockpit. To my unprofessional sense it felt too much like a race car and not a luxury vehicle w high performance available. Installed the DSC V3 and its LIKE NEW. Really, it feels like a new car. Doesn't change any of the 911 handling characteristics- just seems to bring them up to modern standards. Improvements on all the ride settings- although I didn't get off the waitlist for autoX this weekend so that test will have to wait. Recommend- although pricey.

Visited Darren at FD Motorsports this AM and had his modded ceramic coated mufflers installed. I think some here call this a Fister hack: two of the muffler pipes are joined moving slightly more exhaust through. If you want LOUD this isn't for you. But based on my first comment you probably know that's not what I'm looking for. At start up and tooling around town it is very similar to stock. At idle it sounds more to me like a NA sports car motor, that is, the exhaust note is now present enough to distract from the tap tap of the valves. When you get on it, it really wakes up. A bit louder and definitely more aggression sounding- lower in pitch then before and just growlier. It's what I was after.
