Top hats - first three pics. They also show my calipers after I painted them red.

Spoiler switch and Garage Door Opener switch - 4th pic. They are the top two switches on the left side of the Upper Center Console (a.k.a. horseshoe). Do a search on "garage" and on "spoiler" to find some DIY's and all the specifics of the mods.

PSE Mod - 5th pic. The muffler on the left has been modded to simulate PSE sound.

Jerry,

here is the link to the best MK II muffler mod :https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=54027
You need to use 3.6L mufflers with SS pipe and SS welds to keep it right. Contact FisterD for any questions. BTW there are no power gains from this mod, just sound improvement.

You can get the caliper paint at most automotive stores, it's made by Dupli-color (link here: http://duplicolor.com/products/caliper.html). There are a couple of write-ups on this forum on how to do it yourself with this kit. You can also get the decals on eBay. I had mine powder coated which required R&R the calipers, more involved than the DC kit where you can paint the calipers while they are still on the rotors.

Top hat painting is straight forward.

Although it seems you have read some threads and maybe mine already, here is some info:

I got mine from a ebay seller through a Group Buy on another forum, PM me if interested in looking into this, his work is great but of course more expensive than the DIY. Here's a link to my thread of that mod and a couple of others I did at the same time: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=54027

Here's the link to my x74 install: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=54027

I want to say yes you have a 3.6L in your 2002, but I am new to the Porsche world myself so I am not 100% sure when they went from 3.4L to 3.6L to 3.8L. Others will chime in to answer that question.

Sorry I know nothing about the switches as I do not intend to do any more interior mods except seats, harnesses and a roll bar for tracking purposes (and a fire extinguisher for anytime).

Contact your P-car dealer for the switches.

The spoiler switch is actually a 996 Turbo Spoiler switch. I don't have the part number for that, so just tell the parts guy it is a 996 996 Turbo Spoiler switch. The switch used for the garage door opener is a Targa Shade switch part # 996 613 119 10 A05.
