Here's some peeps at the interior. The soft paint was really bothering me and since I have stone grey interior i didn't want to go full black. the folks at Classic 9 Leathershop in detroit did an absolutely amazing job matching my stitching.

also i forgot i did the numeric short shift, which i love.
and i forgot i got a wood grain shifter.

time flies!

Hello all!

It's been a while and wanted to start updating this more frequently.

At the beginning of this season I acquired a new OEM aerokit bumper, and used that as an excuse to spray the hood, and replace the windshield, I also had Pino at RSR redo my ducktail as I wasn't happy with the prior work:



Third brake light delete is a must



Shoutout for some solid blending work.



Unreal difference for the car, I decided to go with the GT3 Style (thanks ebay) front lip as since this picture I've already gone through two thanks to brooklyn streets.

Also some long overdue photos of the fantastic exhaust from FVD (headers and cats). I currently have sitting in my garage new mufflers and center exhaust from them that will go on this winter, but here's how the pipes sit now:

While waiting for a new PPF, the blueberry got a new garage buddy while I wait for the new Landcruiser to drop in the spring:

Looking good - Hope the hip surgery went well. When I was 16 had a ski accident and pin installed in my hip. Was removed a year later.
Make sure you keep up on hip & leg rotation exercises as you age. Unfortunately I didn't put much effort into it and now that hip much less flexible and leads to extension issues/some pain sleeping at night.

Thanks and sorry to hear about your troubles! I’m on it and have full mobility, fortunately(?) it was just a torn labrum and a fun cam lesion that had to get shaved down

Merry merry to myself - grabbed these from a fellow member (been looking for MANUAL stone grey sport seats for years!!).

I'll be popping off the hardbacks to get painted my exterior color when I send my GT3 bumper in in a few weeks:

Nice Score! Those are what's to finnin anything but black.

You can mask them off and paint them without removal.


Original grey back color

Masked off the leather fronts and painted them

Holy Moly! Can you post sound clips when new exhaust is all buttoned up? TIA. What muffler are you going with? I really like FVD stuff.

.......Thought it was some sort of missile defense project with the tactical computer screens

And hell of a nice pair of 928 seats. Don't see that very often.

Will do,

Heres the new FVD mufflers all bolted up




Theyre a bit quiet right now, have to run them hard for about 500 miles to open up some of the….stuff packed in there.

shoutout to Rhonda @ FVD for always being the best!

So that center exit setup is off the shelf? I might get tempted to switch out my bumper and exhaust. The whole system looks awesome

Yep! You can get it all together - i did the headers and cats first before i sourced my 997.2 GT3 bumper. feel free to ping me with any other questions.

I had fabspeed mufflers prior and got loads of compliments on the sound once I put in the headers and cats.
