Decided to spend the $$$ and get the Becker radio with BT and Aux cable. Install was a breeze and BT audio was desperately needed. Becker has great customer service as well.

Looks great. Did you send in your radio to Becker and have them add the BT functionality? Or did you buy a new radio from them?

Easiest project yet. Installed my non-smoker tray tonight. Piece of cake, now I have a useful cubby for keys.

At the urging of my son, did a muffler delete. At first I was shocked by the sound, but the car sure sounds good. Everyone seems to like it so far, but it is quite a bit louder than what I'm used to. I haven't decided yet if I can get used to it as it's my DD, but will give it a try for a little bit.

Bought a new one via e-bay. Very good customer service. Need to put my old one up for sale...

Keep debating on this myself. Can always add mufflers in if you get sick of it or don't like it.

I fitted muffler delete tailpipes last year, although it sounds awesome when you wind it up I wouldn't dare drive into town with them, get arrested pretty damn quick. I now have a pair of sporpion back boxes, quarter of the weight of porsche, acceptable round town but sounds like an F1 car when you give it some.

Bought from a fellow Rennlister. Awesome dealing with and real fast shipper! Thanks, SOLOW!
Nice wheel and Turbo. What kind of phone mount is that and where does it attach?

Tried a new track today, big fun and great new friends. 996 was strong as usual! Putnam Park, Indiana.



Some nice hardware at this event!)

Yes - no kidding! The thing is awful looking. No idea what the previous owner did to the leather on it for that to happen but that is on my short list of projects. Oddly there was no other place in the car that the leather was destroyed like that so I guess that is good. Kind of doing the cosmetic things one step at time. Also need to replace the roll bar cover - the plastic under the black material is broken up and one of the little pieces over the roll bar is broken. Once those two items are done the interior stuff will be good. Tomorrow time permitting will be doing the double-din stereo mod.

Is there are part number for the entire piece? Mine is kinda stained for some reason and I wouldn't mind replacing it, I only see the inserts.
