One of my favorite cars on here and you're doing all the right things. Everything is tastefully done and all upgrades have purpose. Curious about the new wheels you have in mind! Also, I feel like I've read folks love the Numeric shifter but complain about the cables which cause some added noise - not sure how or why.

thanks a bunch.. you will just have to wait for the new wheels i guess

I've heard a similar thing about numeric cables also.. mostly it's been an install issue or need some tweaking.. here is a good thread for that. HERE

That rubber plug for the shifter cables. No fun for me and hence will keep stock cables until justin offers to swap them out for me.

Your car is nicer than I care to admit bro. But you gotta get your lights all working at same time… weird.

That's a nice combo. I recently learned that the oem 3 spoke wheel was available in a smaller diameter from factory. It was a pretty rare option. I've only seen it once on a 996 GT3.

Ok, I need to know more about this. I love doing lighting upgrades to my cars. I assume you are swapping to Morimoto projectors and then putting 55w ballasts in there? Would love to know your exact parts lists and how you plan to execute. My current HID's are in excellent shape, but I want to do something like this with new Osram CBI 5K bulbs. My Lasfit LED's are slightly more white/blue than my stock HID bulbs. That could also just be the age of the HID bulbs in the car, but new HID bulbs always put out more usable light.
