I kinda liked the GT2 wing. But maybe that's just me.




I really like the rear center console cover - have been thinking about doing that for my car as it has deviated stitching. How hard was it?
For the gauge cluster cover, mine already has the factory leather w/deviated stitching, but I would like to know where you got it and how hard it was to install. I haven't seen that as an aftermarket item.

We have the same problem. I'm with you on Matt Smith but the rest of my house liked Tennant a little better. We do however all agree that Ponds is the best assistant ever.

David Tennant was awesome!

I really like your new setup, looks super clean and the colour matched interior bits are pretty class. Nice wheels, too.

First, thank you for your service in our great country.

Without folks like you defending our freedom and protecting us, we would not be able to have this enjoyment.

Nice car, I like the color scheme interrior.

I still have it, may try to sell it on ebay or craigslist super cheap as the wing is cracked. You can hear tiny bits of fiberglass rattle inside the wing too.

I bought the leather pieces off ebay:

Center Console: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181990840196?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Dash: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390771775182?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Shifter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190957669367?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Wheel Caps: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161844841653?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Installation was super easy, I just peeled the old thin pleather piece off (There is a thin foam layer under it, I kept that on) Sprayed some 3M HI-Strength 90 Contact Adhesive (Spray can) onto both pieces and then shaped the leather around the trim. The old trim was adhered using some spray adhesive as well it looked like.

The contact adhesive spray does have a strong chemical smell to it, takes a few days for it to dissipate.

Any more underside pics of the wing? Looks to be genuine GT2 wing from the one pic. If so, I would put that on eBay, even with the crack.

Plus you might wanna take a pic of that LN sticker for your records and possibly see if you can peel it off in one piece and transfer it to your doorjamb if it's still sticky or put it in with you manuals with the car.

What gets driven more, the STi or the 996? I find it quite the dilemma when deciding what to drive to work in the mornings.

Early mornings, I use the STI everytime; the vehicle heats up faster and in Colorado the weather is iffy. As you know the STI is boss in the snow

Work hours with clean weather I use the 996, the wife needs the STI for car seats. We had a new rental Cayenne, defiantly may purchase one in the near future.

Here are some pics of the STI:

$100 and its yours. Are you located in Dallas? If so this Sunday I am actually driving down there as I have to drop my car off at the Vehicle Processing Center to be shipped for Hawaii.

The wing will need to stripped. repaired and painted to look good again.

Shoot me an email or PM and we can talk more.
