Hmmm.. It just struck me about the tinted windows in the Cab. Mine is AS with a blue top. From your vantage point what color tint would you recommend?

Edward do not put those fake blue Xenon lights in the 996, I recall another guy putting those in and it fried both headlights... Save your money and buy some real litronics... it may be cheaper in the long run... Also the RUF short shifter is nice, atttached underneath the car at the transmission, its the same as the Techart except $300, and installs in 30 mins. B&M takes 2 hours and you have to replace parts if you go back to stock... Just my opinions of course...

Don 35% to 45% looks best

Don, I am not sure other than I am going to do a non reflective subtle greyish tint. I did not know you could get them colored. Basically, I want it to reduce glare and protect the car from UV. I do not like real dark tint.

Kevin, are you sure he put in the Jimmy BMW Xenon headlights from ebay? I have had them in my BMW 528i for 1.5 years with no problem. Maybe I should have him give me a list of Porsche references. They really look good, but I realize there is a lot of crap out there.

The RUF or Gemballa short shifters are good alternatives to B&M. If I am correct, they just give you a better shifting feel than stock? It seems to be a very popular upgrade out on the forums. Do they matter that much like an exhaust?
