Not yet, but I'll take some and post them up soon. It was a busy weekend for me, I put the car away as soon as the install was finished and moved on to the next project, so I didn't have time to take pics (such is my life, LOL).

Buttoned up the last few bits and pieces of the brake upgrade, wheels on and the car on the ground... The brakes looked big without the wheels on now .. Oh my!




Front: 380mm x 32mm Stoptech Trophy rotors and 6 Piston Calipers. Custom caliper adapters. Forgline made some custom centers to clear the brakes for me, did a perfect job!.



Rear: 355mm x 32mm Stoptech Trophy rotors and 4 Piston Caliper

Installed a nice 3-spoke 996 wheel in the high mileage Carrera S last week.



Sent the car out for full Ceramic Pro - Gold Package with paint correction. Should be completed tomorrow morning. Also acquired a nice set of wheels which should show up next week.


Currently sitting on Darin Fister's Golden Rod and SSK, ready for install.
Strongly considering RS Flywheel and possible engine reseal.

They performed super well as I backed the car out of the garage, and drove it back in again. Missing a couple of things before I can take it for a proper drive, will let you know after the weekend.

Got it aligned after the engine R&R this winter. Trailered it to Omaha- didn't think 100+ miles before that would be good...
All set now for some fun this summer!


(noticed someone above did the Ceramic Pro- I did that on the Spyder and my son did it on his GT3 and California- stuff is amazing!!)

You're gonna wear those things out in no time, doing crazy stuff like that.


Car is back from Refine Auto Salon with new Xpel PPF. They did a great job. My wife hates the new decal. And I don't care.

Hmm, I guess the decal was a tad subtle in that last pic, here's another:

Nice! I'm not a big fan of decals, but I do like the ghosted look. Great job! And the new paint looks fantastic

Can we presume you'll be hosting the Cars and Coffee in, or just outside, your garage?
