My car is getting a rest for XMAS.

Oh yeah, and it got a little brother who will be taking all the abuse from now on. It has been on a pretty aggressive diet since it came home.

I gotta tell you guys, I listened to a bunch of clips and watched several videos on YouTube of Darin's exhaust mods and none of them do the exhaust justice. I was pleasantly surprised how good they sound in person -- they sound nothing like the clips! I highly recommend them!

CUP lip spoiler fits pretty well on a regular C2 bumper. I have one on mine.

Got her one of these bags. It velcros to the inside of the trunk...better than the old ziplock back that was bouncing around in there.

Yeah, I saw those at the dealer a while back. Didn't realize it had velcro, cool.

I vote this gift as #1 stocking stuffer!

replacement of the clear bra that has yellowed on my white 996. Removal of the bra took some paint with it, so the bumper needs to be resprayed, and new decals put on. It is in the shop as we write.

It's been a tough year....the biggest thing my car gets is the chance to stay & not get sold.
