Completely agree, love the wheels, tires and stance, great job! Can you please give us details on the wheels? Size, offset, spacers, brand?

The dash trim I removed myself. It was a bit more involved than I was expecting. I bought some gaurds red spray paint from the brand Testors. Sanded down the Air bag emblem on the trim and painted it.

The wheels I got from a member here for 1800. I sold my 5 spoke Carrera classics for 800. They are Champion RG5 19 inch I have 12mm spacers in the front and 15mm in the back.
I have tried all brands of spacers. There is a brand on Amazon called Customadeonly in California that sells spacers for these cars for about 30 bucks. They are just as good as the 150 dollar spacers I
have bought online from other venders. The suspension is Ohlins coilovers with Eibach sway bars.

Its called a T96 Flat Bottom Steering Wheel. The guy sells them out of Northern California on ebay.It took about a month to get. He has a guy in Eastern Europe make them to order and ship them over. The steering wheel and the alcantara Gt3 shifter were great mods that you can put your hands on and make a big difference every time you drive. It is a weekend car and a ton of fun to drive.

The mods I did were
997 3.6 airbox
Fister mod
Ohlins Coilovers
Eibach sway bars
Numeric Shifter and cables
OEM sport seats
red painted console out of a boxter
Rennline pedals
Gt3 console delete
FVD red cluster
OEM red seatbelts

Thanks for all of the positive comments!
