I've bought the wheel stud conversion kit. You can get them in 50mm, 60mm or for $15 more, a "full d-bag" 75mm.

I went “full d-bag.” How often in life can one go “full d-bag” for only an extra $15?

​​​​Cool. Which manufacturer did you go with? Spacers?

I updated/upgraded my Litronic headlights with Retrofit Labs projectors (I used my existing Phillips extreme vision bulbs). Wow! What a difference... Amazing difference

Got some pictures? Would love to see the difference in design, and how the mod works. Thanks

Check out the video on YouTube of the retrofit. The bottom photo is the projector itself. Top photo shows the brackets you install to mount them to the light module. It’s very straight forward...

I now have a Numeric Racing short shift kit with new cables. OMG, what a difference, I love the reduced throw and mechanically precise feel. I added a Black Forest Industries shift boot and **** as well.

Was always wondering how the BFI shift **** would look, I like them and now I might have to add one since my shifter has seen better days.

Had a reschedule on detail today so among other things I took some time to clean my carpets. This is from the passenger side and after I ran the clean water through the hose, the driver side was much darker.

Looks great. What are your thoughts on the quality of the BFI shift boot? I am looking for a black Alcantara boot for my C4S and I’m not sure where to order from. Thanks

Awesome. I recently put a similar kit on my C4S from Flat 6 Motorsports. Sounds pretty good. 👍🏼

RennLine, the steel ones, veteran discount through CarID.
In the kit they sent me 20 lug nuts but only 19 lug studs. I thought the 5% discount was only on the price, but I suppose you’ve got to read the fine print.
Lug number 20 should arrive on Saturday.

The BFI shift boot quality is superior to OEM Porsche in my opinion. Thicker and more supple and available in several colors of stitching as well. When I initially had **** installed on stock shifter it sat noticeably higher than stock. If you have the trim ring for your boot it has to be detached from stock boot because the ring is not available separately. That being said, I love the shifter. With new cables there is a noticeable increase in cabin sound because boot around cables must be cut to fit bigger cables. YMMV.
