Default Slope so far - Fister III's / pedals

I picked up my 95 Cab in Sept and finally got moving on the slope.

Got Rennline pedals to finish off the set. The dead pedal was already installed.

This weekend I installed the Fister III's (had stage I's). I was a little nervous about how loud they'd be with a cab (didn't stop me from getting them though) so I was very curious about how I'd feel about it on that first start-up. So, what I can tell you is that after listening to all of the youtubes of III's, my initial impression was that they aren't as loud as I expected, but sound even better than a youtube portrays. (that's why I'm not posting another youtube)

We had beautiful weather here this weekend so I put the top down and did a bit of driving. Can't say enough how great they sound. They have the "gurgle" all the way through the rpm's and it's just music to the ears. I've barely had the radio on since I got the car so I could listen to the engine. Doubt I'll ever turn it on again.

For those wondering about III's in a cab, I highly recommend it!

Here's a pic of the pedals. Really rounds it out nicely. Next on the list is a shifter, ebrake handle... and maybe the steering wheel. Not set on that yet though. Going to have to see the 996 wheel live in a 993. I kind of like the stock wheel?

Does the footrest come down on the side or is it flat. Looks nice.

Not flat. More V shaped with the top as you see it, and the side that follows the contour of the car.

So Patrick, are you actively looking for a new ride?

Not actively at the moment. I bought an '02 Lexus IS300 to play around with and use as my DD though. I'll probably get serious about another 993 (Riv blue coupe) next year depending on my job situation.

What color did you get? I can't seem to tell the difference between silver and brushed.
