Wait a second here, are those non-sport seats? Last mod, yeah right. I smell a pair of GT3 seats and a tequipment roll bar in the future for you! By the way, since you now have two third brake lights, you'll need that blank-out piece that Porsche sells for the OEM third brake light spot (you'll need to paint it too).

Nice Kirby, how'd you finally wire it, which harness? You don't have a pn on that oem blank do you.

I can find the part number for that blank. When I had my 2002 C2 (in Seal grey in fact), I got the Carrera rear wing for it and needed the blank. Porsche wanted $182 Canadian for it so I decided not to get it until I found one on E-Bay from some one who happened upon one, brand new and had no idea what it was for. I bought it for $5.00 USD and shipping cost me $7.00 USD. I think I got ripped off on the shipping I had to do the harness conversion as well along with the wing but that wasn't too expensive considering...

Nice pictures! Awesome color. One question though.... In your gallery of pictures, the last one on the first page....

Is that a Zyclam Effect S2-cab ??????

We actually didn't get a wiring harness. James (Akkurat Tech) just held the wing motor trigger/actuator down with a tie-strap. There is a little pin that pops up at 75mph to tell the wing to rise. He just held that pin down and so far it works great. No spoiler warning light and saved a little $.

Hard to explain...I'll take a picture of it later and post.

Yes, that's how most of the guys mod the harness so no warning lights appear. Great job!
