The kit is: 000.044.900.42. I can get the part #s for the individual components though.

I used JBweld on a couple parts of the underbody trays, it worked really well. If you do it on the backside, keep it thin, and even paint it black (after cleaning the rest really well, then it's almost unnoticeable.

One of my wheel liners was pretty bad though, so I just replaced it. $120 or so I think?

can you please post the part number for the GT3 adjusters. My search has turned up nada!

The last time I used JB weld for plastic it was black. I repaired an auxiliary light mount on my motorcycle and two years later it is still solid. Good stuff.

The general rule of thumb is that, any time you are able to buy an OEM Porsche part for under $4, you just drive straight out and buy yourself a lottery ticket .

Of course, if that part happens to be a GT3 part, and the lottery amount is like $2 billion, you can go ahead and buy two tickets .

I paid $4.75 each at Pelican about 5 nanoseconds after hearing about these GT3 clips on RL -- I've never been so happy to overpay for something

Recently got the P0410 check engine light in my 1999 C2, so i followed this DIY -> 996 secondary air injection valve replacement DIY (p-car.com), replacing the two SAI valves and the change over valves and poof no more light! I didnt need to remove the throttle body or the intake plenum.

Installed rear Cocomats that match the fronts and deck mat.

When I did fronts I skipped on the rear mats because they're kind of expensive and you can barely see them anyway. Cocomats recently had one of their infrequent sales so I went for it.

I don't see a sale price shown on their web site. Where did you see that? I need a back set like yours.

Last couple years (at least) they've done an early bird 15% off sale. Meant to share the code but forgot. They followed up with the same discount around Black Friday last year. I'll share that one when/if they send out an email.

@SoCal911t Those mats look great! They really help break up the sea of grey and tie everything together.
