Default few pics after the mods (finally)

So, it's been what seems like forever, and I am done with the mods (for now).

The list:
- 18" OEM hollow spoke sport technos
- OEM GT3 (aero kit II style) side skirts
- Misha GT2 wing
- Kenwood DDX7015 DVD/Sirius/Music Keg system with focal's and audison amp (thx Rod )
- Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth handsfree phone kit
- tons of wood and beige trim to replace the gray stuff, and alum dash rings
- B&M short shift kit with EVO linkage
- BIRD automotive center console armrest
- Carrera GT key

and in case your wondering, the color is Iris Blue Metallic

hmmm. no lowering of the front or lower bumper splitter? Be careful at high speeds due to aero imbalance. That's why porsche sells the kit as a whole.

Nice balance. The Technos are much nicer than the turbo twists.

Looks very nice to me. Next time you're in Austin give me a call and we'll grab some grub and drinks.

I was going down for CB, but looks like it got cancelled. Next time, though, I'll definitely give you a ring.....E

KY,
Looks great!
A couple cheapo mod suggestions to add to your list:
1. Clear side markers.
2. Dark color floor mats.

I put black mats in my Ocean/Savannah Cab (black top). They don't show wear as badly as the Savannah mats.

Where did you buy your side skirts? I think my car needs them.

I do like the dark mats. I got a steam cleaner to try to clean the ones I have. Get the side skirts from Justin @ Brandywine Porsche in PA. He advertises in Excellence magazine, and always has great stuff cheap. I got my short shift kit and GT key from him, among other things.

I just installed my B&M SSK which I bought from Justin yesterday!
I also bought my PSE from them.
I'm gonna check out the skirt pricing for sure.

this was the "last" thing I was thinking of doing (yeah right) - painting the inside of the sport technos to match? what do you think of these (I pilfered the turbo from Moogle, and the other looks like a photoshop job, base on the fact that the rear isn't painted and doesn't fit).

I think they would look great in darker colors, such as your Iris Blue.
The Turbo's wheels are awesome.

Hey KY,

Nice!

Just need some lowering, painter rear bumprettes, clear side markers and the Aero front nose cone.

Ciao,

The car is gorgeous.

I have a question. The map holder mounted under the dash at the steering wheel. How is that mounted to the car? I've got the opportunity to get one of those, but don't know how it mounts. I've looked at my car under the dash there and don't see anything that it could attach to.

Any mounting insight is very welcome.

Thanks.

Special request: can you post pics of the trunk? I want to see how you mounted the Audison amp! Thanks.
