Default what do you guys want for christmas?

no, i'm not planning on buying everybody on rennlist a christmas gift, i was wondering what porsche-related gift ideas did you give your significant other? i circled a zip up black fleece jacket that has a small porsche logo on it from the performance products catalog. i think i'd also like a 993 turbo or old porsche racing poster for my office...

what did you guys ask for?

I am easy to shop for. I would settle for a nice SY 993TT to match my 993 coupe.

Hoping to find under the tree: Red seat belts and Rennsport Shifter from Carnewal.

Early combo present (birthday in Dec. + Christmas) arriving this week: Nakamichi CD-500 HU, Audison LRx 4.5 amplifier, Hertz HSK 165 seperates, and 2 x 8" JL Audio 8W3 subwoofers for rear footweels. Head unit and Audison already installed, running factory speakers (non-hi-fi) sounds ok. Speakers from ebay and CAI (Rod) arriving any day now... Audison installed on custom rack up front. Looks great. Nakamichi looks great. Aux in 1/8" stereo plug (female) installed in center carpet area just below ash tray. MP3 feature takes away need for CD-Changer, so saved that room up front (selling Alpine unit on ebay as soon as I get around to it).

Let me know if you want pictures. This is a primo 993 stereo upgrade! $2500ish

For my black on black 95 C2 Coupe.

sounds awesome ce. I'm not a big fan of adding weight to a 993, but will admit the stereo is nice on a long trip. Definitely post some pics of that setup!

Wifey is combining my birthday pressie (this Thursday - yeah, I'm Sagittarian) and Christmas pressie -- and getting me two new rear Mich. Pilot tires.

Definitely don't get them from the stealer, order them from Lloyd Mats or other supplier (Pelican Parts, Sunset Porsche, etc.).

The Lloyd Mats are more durable and, IMO, look better than the OE mats.

Here are some before/after shots when I got my mats last Christmas:

I currently have Lloyd mats (really worn out) reading "Carrera" but wanted new mats reading "Porsche" just for a change. Not sure if Lloyd is allowed to put "Porsche". Plus I got a really good deal from the stealer (CA$ 159.00 for the set of 4).

Lloyd is licensed to carry all of the Porsche monikers in the correct stylized fonts (they may actually be one of the only ones). Just do a search on their site for all of the permutations.

By the way, I got four mats with double emblems for about $135 shipped. The mats you want are probably around $110 +/- a bit.
