The current car is really good. It will be at Amelia Island on March 8. 2019 as part of the Werks cars. I will be around it.

Front cargo organizer. I like it. Keeps things from rattling around.

I got PPF and stripes on my brand new C2. I know not everyone is a fan of stripes on the non-GT cars, but I'm very happy with how this turned out - I went for more of a classic/elegant look over aggressive racing stripes. I figured if I don't like it, it would be easy to remove. But am very happy with how it came out.


BEfore:



After:



The black is satin, while the gold is a sort of speckled pattern:



I like how the black matches the black sunroof, and the gold ties in to the badge. And of course, black, red, gold = Germany

I like the red painted trim on your wheels - how did they (or you?) apply it? I have used this place on bikes in the past: http://www.tapeworks.com/Rimstripes/

The guys who did it does many of the local porsche shops cars in th area. He basically repainted black and then did the pin stripe. He has this crazy machine that he jacks up the car and another attachment that spins the wheel. The paint strip was painted on free hand with his professional air paint gun/air paint pin. Free hand as the wheel was spinning... crazy...! Never seen anyone do it like that before but this guy is good...

eek, not feeling the hood, mirrors, and gas cap. Matte black vinyl panels are cringeworthy enough on cheap POS cars

Just had these fitted, it does open up the sound nicely, as reported by many.

Thanks to John Gaydos of Soul Performance for his help, Joey Seely of E-Motion Engineering in Newport Beach for fitting them (specializes in 911 and a fascinating person to talk with), and Bob Z for answering a couple of questions I had.
Joey was very complimentary about Soul products for their quality and fit.

Did you swap your existing CATs with those ? Or weld those to new or existing headers ? Curious how your set up worked. Thx. Tim
