Probably keeping the seats for now, but I can never keep anything for too long. I'll definately let you know when if/when I swap them!

Alright guys. Interior is finally coming together. But first a few additional changes to the exterior.

I had a full refresh of the front end completed. New clear bra and got rid of the head light washers

Also added new PS2's - 235/35/19 up front and 315/25/19 out back. I rolled the rear fenders and the fit is perfect. Not even a hint of rubbing and actually have a bit more room (if only i had wider rear wheels). Tires look pretty huge and the ride is much better.

Also had a corner balance and alignment.

As far as the interior goes, here is a list of the changes...

- RUF steering wheel with alcantara
- RUF shift ****
- Aluminum e-brake handle
- New Rennline pedals (old ones were getting worn)
- Rennline race mats (drivers side and passenger side)
- Rennline aluminum floorboard
- guage rings
- alcantara seat inserts
- full carbon fibre trim - guages, doors, dash, center console, something like 12 pieces in all.

She's getting there...

Cheers,
Kevin

Sorry for all of the pics guys, but I snapped some of the RUF along with some 997's. Interesting contrast between the newer cars and our 993's. Thos 997tt's are wide!!!

NEVER apologize for posting pics, much less pics like these!
Your car is gorgeous. I'm not sure I would ever get tired of seeing more of it.
Thanks for posting!
The clean shaved front end looks perfect.
Cool pics with the other generations too.

Your car redefines the term "ultimate".

Keep the pics coming as your car represents the best of the best 993TT IMHO.

Does Ruf offer a current seat for the 993? I know their custom Recaros were the ticket in the day, but rare to see these days.

I put a set of the 997 GT3 factory shell seats in the 993 just to see how they looked and I liked the slimmer head shape.

Have you considered nixing the sunroof?

ps. Excellent job taking off the headlight squirters -- that's something I've contemplated for years but never gotten around to it. When I get the skirts redone, I'm sure they suckers are for the bone yard.

Just when you think a car can't get any better... I for one do request you stop posting pictures... You're giving me ideas that are going to cost me too much money!!!

Thanks guys.

Never thought about the sunroof, but that would be pretty cool. Have thought about shaving the rain gutters and adding the RUF mirrors though. I'll probably hold off for now.

Todd - would love to get our cars together again. I'll be heading out to the Auto Affair event in Danville next weekend.

Javier - I've been meaning to email you. HOw are you enjoying Kevin's ex RUF? Always been a huge fan of that car. One of the first and best examples and Kevin did everything right on that car. Love the center exhaust!!!!

Kevin
