99750452701 turbo/AWD piece with ducts for front diff
99750452702 GT car/2WD 997 piece

The 3 center sections are also from 997 GT3 but I think is the same across all 997 cars
99750404300- center
99750404303- left
99750404403- right

The next section back I haven't acquired yet, but it is different.. Need to use either GT car or Turbo one.. turbo one has 2 vents to direct air to the transmission, GT car one is flat with no trans cooling ducts since there is a transmission cooler on GT cars.
99750462992- GT car section
99750402900- turbo awd section with ducts for air to trans

The final piece to the rear, also not pictured, is same across all 997.1 turbo and carreras, and all 997.1-.2 GT cars.
99750442901

This will get the transmission covered and everything forward. Anything further back will need to be custom.
Cool! Thx. I use the triangle piece in the back already, but missing the two outside pieces in the middle section.

Default Road trip

Utilized the features and leveraged the 996 design intent and took it skiiing. (Yesterday) Amazing November conditions meant powder and tree skiing with no crowds.
With four snows, all wheel drive, traction control, headlight washers,factory roof rack, rear wiper, it’s the perfect ski vehicle. Road conditions were not great, arrived there and home no incidents, but did see several cars off the road(on their side)
3.5 hr drive each way in total comfort and confidence.
Epic day, epic car that delivers.

New tires. Feels much better with the Contiextreme contactsport xyz whatevers in 305/30/19 & 245/35/19 over the Nitto Invos I've been running in 315/25/19 & 235/25/19. A little more sidewall and they feel smoother with more traction.

That is amazing. What an awesome pic and set up.. This is exactly the set up I am looking for. I live in NH. 89 miles from cannon. I could not ski this weekend due to a fever from the Flu. I will go next weekend. In the meantime I am looking for a 996TT just like yours with the ski rack.

Man as much as I'd love to mount up a set of snows and test out the Turbo's amazing traction in the snow, it's the other drivers I worry about...

I'd much rather one of the nearly infinite number of boneheads out on any given Colorado snow day slide into my F150 than my pristine turbo.

I hear ya and could easily go that way but selfishly don’t want to give up the 4-5 months that I’d be missing. I have the SUV option but when the garage door rolls open, I’m drawn to the TT.

I did a quick and easy mod yesterday... I saw these brushed aluminum instrument rings on the N/A 996 forum and thought I'd give them a whirl. Shipping took a while, ended up with a lost package, but the seller made it right and sent a replacement. All in all, it ended up taking about 2 months to get them but I was in no rush. Surprise mail day is always fun, as the tracking numbers provided only worked while the product was in the originating country, Poland, I believe.

They snapped right on and look great, IMO.




Oh jeez, I didn't realize until now but I need to clean the interior! Disregard the dirt and dust!

Looks Great Zach! Can't wait to see all you've done to that thing.
