Does ANY of that carbon fiber make the car lighter? What's the point?

Just think - with mine, you wouldn't need to do any mods!! On second thought, knowing you, you would want to mod the thing like crazy. Stick with your 996!

Afraid the CF will go down along with 50s stream America, 70s space age, and 90s colored translucent plastic tech...

You know, I love the OEM turbo twists that came with the car. Something very classic about them. Each to his own. I do, however, really like the wheels on your car!

And you would have to get a new ignition switch. The swith on the "subject" car is frozen in the OFF position! hee hee

I'd be putting 19" turbo wheels on your car - it's screaming for it.
