From Pelican:
OEM 3M Rear StoneGuards
From Gert:
GT2 replica strut brace
Front Protection Bar
New Headlight Lenses
From TomF:
New-in-box Catz HID

Jonathon,
How bad were your lens covers? When you install the new ones you should cover them with 3M material. I just had mine done (although it would be easy to do yourself) and it is unnoticeable and the heat of the bulbs doesn't affect it at all. Easy insurance.
I'm getting the Transformer mounting bracket from Chris and am researching the HID kit stuff. I just want to do it as stock as possible so that should the need arise I can switch back. I know that you posted a question about this....do you mind passing along any words of wisdom about this when time permits? You can e-mail me at: bakeman@earthlink.net
Thanks,
Dave

I will send you an email later, but have to say I dont have much information on this. To be honest, the mod makes me a little nervous, so I might get some help for installing it. I dont really want to make any holes and dont want to cut up wires... Despite reading several DIY HID posts on here, havent really seen one specific to the Catz HID kit that I just bought from TomF.

Jonathan, would be great if you could do a DIY of the rear stonegaurd install w/pics if possible. It would be nice if at some point the RL would have some DIY section like Pcar. When my Sparco seats get in this Tues I'm gonna start a thread like the intercooler removal I did in the TT forum. The P-car site is great, but other DIY's could be added. TIA and nice choice of mods.

Hi Jonathan,
Just wanted to give you a tip. When you install the stoneguards do it with a lot of water with detergent in it. That way you can easily correct it when you install them on the car.

There are two solutions to use....the one with the detergent to allow movement of the material and another with alcohol in it to activate the adhesive properties and set it into place.

The stoneguards go on very easily - there's a good video on how to do it on the invincashield website. Careful with the alcohol - once you activate the adhesive with it, you have very little time to move it around.

I guess Ben in Plano, TX and others were right in recommending the adjustable Cup brace instead. Although my car has never been in an accident, I put the brace up against another local 993 to see if it was just my car...didnt line up right on that one either. I am hopeful that Gert will allow me to exchange this one for a Cup brace since it doesnt fit. Bummer, I really liked the idea of the single piece...
I have a GT2 strut brace, and if fit fine.
