Tim, I looked up the definition of modification - "Any alteration or improvement that increases the value of percieved value of an item."

So, on a Honda, the air freshener counts. Congrats!

this is just a little bit different question, but i was thinking about putting a bra (black) on the front of my car, but i haven't really seen any 996's with them, is that a no-no or do most people just think they don't look good, could someone give me their opinion?

Yep that's an easy one...

It's sort of like having sex with a fully dressed really hot girl.
You can... but everyone's gonna thinks you're crazy (including her).

Get the 3M clear bra, you can barely see it but it works!!
I've got the front bumper, half hood + fenders, mirrors, front + rear wheel-wells and side skirt done.

I'd post some pics of it but uhm.. well...ya can't see it.
It will cost a bit of $ but it will last a long time.

hope that helps.

Cheers,

Sid.

Whoooow, uhhhhm...yeeeez... OK Johnny well I think this shows why most don't drive around with that on their Porsche's...

That said, in a situation like this it's probably best to use it but for any other... go clear!

Hey, if you guys are looking for that CF-style cloth, check out the e46 M3 forums... Those guys were going to town with that stuff a few months ago... Guys were going completely nuts covering damned near everything with it... Had a few guys do complete write-ups with step-by-step instructions on how to apply it, etc. I'll see if I can track some of those threads down...

My led's are stock 997 turbo/GT2 lights, they are part of the 997 GT2 (modified for 996) front bumper I've got on my ride.
But there's quite a few led strips out there you can install on any car, not the same look but it does do the trick.
Precision Porsche is working on led light that have clear lenses, I'm not sure if they've finished them yet but you should check it out.

Cheers,

Sid.
