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

yeah, I'm a previous customer. I'll reach out to them for next time. I had a 356 many years back with coco mats and they really give the 996 a classic look.

I have a grey interior and recently purchased black herringbone Coco mats. Love them and I have had these in previous Porsche's so I know they wear like iron .

Wind deflector
Researching deflectors for a while and opted for the one on Amazon. Got one nice long ride in before the weather turned. At $300 all in, very pleased with the purchase. You will notice the difference in wind and noise level. Comparable to what you would experience driving with a sun roof open.

So I finally put together a second set of Carrera IIs. I like the OE color of the wheels, but it’s been my experience most shops do very poorly matching the soft finish of the originals. I’m heavily leaning to race silver for the rehab. Thought about a gunmetal or anthracite, but, nah, bright silver shows off nicely on this color car. Now, I’ll sell my 997 19’s this spring and lose some serious unsprung weight for quicker summer pace.

In my opinion the Carrera IIs are the best looking factory wheel!
My car currently has the Carrera IIs fitted.
I'm down to just 2 sets of wheels, the Carrera IIs and my OZ Allerggeritas.
I haven't seen any other wheels worth adding to the mix, although some do come close if I found a great deal.

Wheel Size
Satin Black Wrap, Apex Wheels, GT3 seats, steering wheel, shift **** and short shifter. RUF Sport Springs and Bilstein B8's.
Went with wheels that are 1 inch wider in the front and then went with tire size 255/35/18 because it has the same diameter as the rear wheels.
