rear center console
Hi Vince,
My 997.2 C2S is the same color as yours with sand beige. I installed a painted (racing green) pdk surround a few months ago and really happy with the way it looks. I just order a painted rear center console from Bumper Plugs. I will post some photos after I install it.

Pointing the tips of the crests to the valve stem is for the **** concours folks and worth points in some cases. Your cars came from the factory that way just in case you wondered. I didn't believe it myself until I checked when in Zuffenhausen.

Not so bad - look on MaCarbon website for great instructions for getting into it - they show replacing CC which includes the shift surround. Their instructions are golden - use tape and trim tools as they instruct and labeling the screws is a good tip too.

how do those lights illuminate? blinkers red or orange, how do the euro lights illuminate?
looks nice, but those license plate holders I don't know about, if you had a moderate impact, it would send all that force to the frame, instead of letting the plastic bumper do its job. Kinda like leaving the tow hook in all the time.

I attached rubber pads behind the license plate corners, so in case they get bumped, they won't leave a nasty mark. Oh, I also have the front bumper clear bra'd with Ventureshield.

You guys are right...once you start modifying, it's hard to stop! LOL. Next thing i'm seriously contemplating of doing is changing my black front grills to the aluminum ones as well as the aluminum lower arms for the side mirrors. I've already found a how-to on removing the side mirrors. I am now looking on how to remove the front bumper. I heard that this is the only way to be able to change those grills. Ughhhh.

Hey HotLap. I found a thread from here that details the removal of the front bumper. I also was contacted by Ryan from Suncoast regarding including bumper removal instructions with the grills that I ordered from them. Here is a copy of the link of the post about removing the front bumper:
