CP --

Thanks for the input -- I would LOVE to get a nice 3 spoke wheel. I've been contemplating which one -- I really like the one Gert has (especially the "thicker" 3 spoke version he has). But dayyyyuumm -- it's pricey by the time you ad the air bag. Also hear lots of good things about the AJ USA wheel. Soon . . . soon.

Nice changes.... how about one more.... change the steering wheel for a GT Sport three spoke from AJ USA. A very nice touch. Just my $0.02.

Oh... one more item.... short shifter kit. This will put the sweet touch in your hand every time you drive.

Scott-

Nice transformation. I recently installed the Rennline aluminum door handles with the holes in them. I think they look cool and would match nicely with your pedals.

It might be nice to do an Alu/ leather E brake and shifter. I am in desperate need of these but as you said about the steering wheel.....They are pricey!

Good work.

Do you have any more pics...

Looks very good, and those wheels especially fit 993s very well, I've always liked them.

Great job on the mods. Unfortunately for me, my car is almost exactly the same as your BEFORE pictures. I love those MY02 wheels.

Where did you get those mats, btw?

As far as the plate goes, my interpretation was (NOSBSTT) - NOS BS TT -->> Nitrous is BS, get a Twin Turbo. Granted I was a bit confused since it was on a C2.

mr_bock -

A short shifter and a 3 spoke steering wheel sound great -- but maybe I could just go for a TPC supercharger. Wow -- your car sounds real impressive brother -- 322 rwhp -- that's LARGE!

Thanks Mike -

I bought some alu door handles -- but have not yet had time to install them. The ones I got were not the ones with holes -- but you bring up a great point about matching the pedals -- well, we'll see how the ones I bought look and take it from there. An alu/leather shifter and e-brake handle are definitely on my list -- just cannot decide for sure on whether to go with Gert's MY02 shifter, or stay with the alu **** type (which is a bit less money). Also want a 3 spoke steering wheel too.
