Rosewood shift ****
sony headunit w/ carplay
have some plans for it:
FVD Brombacker headers + cats
IPD Plenum + GT3 Throttle Body
FVD tune
Getty sport classic duck tail
DSC V1 Controller
Really excited to be a part of the community and even more excited for my busy winter

Gorgeous car. Great spec and modded tastefully. Congrats!
Folks, on another note - FedEx is drunk with my FVD shipment:
FedEx has been hot garbage when it comes to there package tracking. Every time I’ve had something coming to me via FedEx it’s stuck in some random place for a week and then it shows up at my door. Not something I’d pay for. UPS, USPS, and Amazon tracking is head and shoulders above FedEx in this category. Sorry for the rant. Needed to get that off my chest, I guess. Now back to your regularly scheduled Porsche content.

Well at least we know how you really feel It finally arrived but what an emotional whirlwind
I'm not familiar with the RL member you purchased your car from - I was curious if you checked on engine# and if it has the early smaller IMS bearing and did you have a Bore Scope Inspection performed before you bought the car?
I'm lover of silver#1 and grey#2 exteriors but I have to say I like the Blue color and it's growing on me.
Drive safe, and if you're able to pry yourself out of your new toy, try and spend time with the wife and family and look forward to hearing more about your car!

thank you! had a clean PPI and IMS was handled it was meticulously maintained (big book of service history, a lot of preventative work). I plan on driving it how it was meant to be driven. Honestly if something happens - i have an excuse to build a 4.0
Thanks for the kind wishes! Looking forward to enjoying with the mrs.
question for the peanut gallery if anyone's stopping through:
I'm having a friend of mine's shop install my headers and all the other crap i ordered. While it's there, is there anything ya'll would recommend I look at? I'm going to have them swap out the scavenge pump as the cover has seen better days...
It's been a while. Had a dumb injury and had to get hip surgery so dropped the car off to get a makeover. Will post A LOT of updates soon but here's car finally back from the body shop.
Getty Sport Classic Duck Tail
Techart Rear Splitter
OEM third brake light delete
EMC 991 rear skirts
Cypher Rear bumperettes delete
Waiting for paint to cure another week before doing a full paint correct then adding back on the badges, and stone guards.
Not shown but will show soon:
I had the front bumper plate holes filled, and my hood resprayed thanks to a 15 year PPF taking some elbow grease to remove.
Looking really, really good. Looks and sounds like you scored a real winner and I compliment the tasteful additions you're making. Congrats, and enjoy!!
