Red stitching & carbon... you're lucky whoever spec'd the car did such a great job! Congrats on your dream car!

Pics of carbon trim and red stitch added to OP. I like how we all geek out on the little details.

Perfectly spec'd 996 Turbo! I love it in Guards Red and it has all the right options.

Thanks, yeah this thing came w/ a FabSpeed exhaust and headers, EVOM intake, bilstein coilovers, upgraded blowoff valves, and integrated K40 difuser. Luckily for me....he spared no expense! 😜

While we are looking at Guards Red 996TT, here is my 2001 I bought in 2014 with 25k from a local Chevy dealer after it was traded in for a new Vette. Pretty much stock, but did make some changes getting ready for track season this year based on what I learned last year. Installed a Numeric shifter and upgraded front brakes to 350mm, 2-piece rotors with custom hats for the turbo hubs, and GT2 brake ducts. I was having problems with brake fade after about 20mins at the Glen. When the driver is no longer the limiting factor, I might do some engine upgrades. I decided to change up the look and Plastidipped the stock wheels Burnt Copper. It should hide some of the brake dust at the track.

And he kept the interior classy and elegant. That was a good decision.

Yeah, that’s how I felt. Just the right touch of mods, but still something the wife can get dolled up and go out to dinner in!

I must give a big thank you to our local PCA. The guys and gals are tremendously hospitable, hard working for the club, and very friendly.

Thank you for the love. You need to bring it on more fun runs. :-)

The wheels look more like CCW C140 than Fikse to me, but good pickup either way. My father has a Guards Red cab with black interior with the red stitching and it really works well (plus body color center tunnel).
