Man, I almost pulled the trigger on a seal gray 996TT but didnt want to fork out the extra 10K for it so i settled for a run of the mill silver TT which is still very nice.
Just thinking about your comment, is there really a $10k premium for seal gray? I was not aware of that.
All non silver/black cars, IMO..carry a premium. I specifically wanted a tiptronic and the artic silver ones tend to be the least expensive. I found a clean "drivers" car that I got a pretty good price on so I couldn't say no. A lower mileage speed yellow or guards red 6 speed can fetch a pretty penny and will hold value in the long term.
I figure if I want to change its color I can get it wrapped but Artic Silver can look good with the right wheel color/tint/lip/ride height combo and it looks good from a distance when it's dirty.
The tiptronics are underpriced, IMO. They come alive when they are in manual mode

Granted..these are my ancedotal observations, I'd have to pull the data from BaT and my craigslist sql database to do a true statistical analysis but I feel pretty confident about my assment.
Wraps would be alot more interesting if they could be done without the razor blades scratching/etching the paint when theyre put on. Id have no issues bringing my dc2 integra to get resprayed @ maaco but I don't want to bring this car to a budget paint place lol
Removing the powder coating from the mounting surface was a little nerve wracking as the wire wheel wants to grab the edge and pull into the spoke area. Had them off for brake fluid flush.
My stock suspension finally had to go. It's my daily driver and I wanted to go as close to stock as possible. I ended up with H&R springs (1" lower) and Bilstein 4's. The stock suspension had sagged enough that it only lowered the car about 5/8".
Rides like champ and is so quiet compared to the 22 year old system I replaced. I'm left wondering, why the hell didn't I do this 5 years ago? 😀

Mine is creaking really bad. Getting ceikas or FEALs soon after i replace my radiator.
Were the B4s hard to install? Did you replace the tophats? Or what other components did you buy? I priced B4s and they are alittle pricey.
