What did you do to your 996TT today?

I agree, not much of a mod per se, but think the cars look much better with the quad style tips over the standard ovals. Quad tips should have been standard IMO.

This weekend I replaced my dashboard. It had a large wrinkle when I got it from the previous owner and it triggered my OCD every time I got in it.
Whole thing took about 15-18 hours, most of that time was spent scratching my head, remembering where I put "that tool", or cursing, or washing blood off the back of my hands. It was a frightening experience. In terms of DIY, I'm a wizard with IKEA; nothing mechanical. This project was like a gigantic, high-stakes, confusing knockoff of IKEA.
But im glad I did it! I feel much closer to my car. And I cleared any rattles while I was in there (minus to two screws I dropped which will probably rattle forever).

Thanks! I was blissfully ignorant prior to starting. It quickly became a "fight or flight" situation — like, shockingly quickly. I just had to keep going, out of pure fear and adrenaline. But, prior to starting, had I known what I was really in for, there's not a chance I would have done it myself.
But it's very comforting knowing what's back there and how it all ties together. And that if I absolutely needed to, like if it turned out that there were a bunch of diamonds hidden behind my dash, I could, hypothetically, get back there again.

FWIW, the Schnell tips are slightly smaller diameter than the factory X54 tips and looked too "little" when I put them on the car (compared to the originals). I had bought a set of the Schnells to replace the poor condition originals on my car, and was disappointed that they were smaller. Ended up finding a suitable replacement set of used factory tips and was able to sell the Schnells.

I finally got around to fitting the painted bumperettes from BumperPlugs that my son got me for Christmas.
Not quite as dramatic an improvement as you get on a lighter colored car, but a nice facelift (rearlift? buttlift? ) nonetheless.
