The front splitter is flat about 30 inches back... i want a air dam made that looks good... something like this but made professionally..to match my splitter nicely to fell all gaps.

I think his looks good, hard to replicate, the getty side is easy enough.

i showed the pictures to joe, he said he would love to make something like this.. he just needs a 996 turbo and my sample air dam to ship to him....

i can ask some of my prior customers that are in vncouver if they want one... they can get one for free for their time...but he wants to know first if theirs interest..

Told you so. If you want a good handling car, just ask Dez, a few other track rats or myself

If you have not done the 997tranny mount, do it.

If you want a nimble feel like a gt3/2... It can be accomplished with lighting the car and Alingment.

Yes, I hate the Ruf look with the little winglets on the end. Just have been too lazy to replace it because it's attached to my cup car undertray.

Depends on cost too though. I'm not spending $500 on one, don't want it that bad.

"500 would be on the high high end. I sell the GT 3 piece for 150 and the 944 stuff 300 the new Cayman is 400 because it is very indicate on the trim for attaching to the bumper.

I bought a 2” steering wheel extension from Carnewal a while ago. Being 6’3” my legs at lastwould not be cramped against the steering wheel as before.

Finally, installed it last night with my new steering wheel from DCTMS. The sides are black alcantara, black leather bottom, yellow top ring, and all black stitching. The smaller diameter and flat bottom even gives me more room. Perfect thickness too!

Looks good, I have an 01 as well. Any way to get rid of that manual holder. Seem to always find a way to hit my shin on it at the track.
