Thanks for the feedback on the badges. I guess I'm somewhat partial since my 1994 Speedster had all the RUF engine and suspension mods years ago, so I became a big fan running a lot of their suspension mods on other cars since, but not this one to date.
Actually considered the RUF turbo conversion when I purchased the first 997, however looking at TPC's new turbo, I may end up considering them if I even go the forced induction route at all.
Thanks again for the honest feedback!

Great looking ride! I have painted center consoles in custom cars before the trick is to just use really good plastic primer and scuff the life out of it. Makes me want to paint mine! I could also paint the backs of my sports adaptive seats but that is a little bit more scary.

The ride, however is much different since the Eurowerks guys had just aligned the yellow car, but haven't touched this one yet. The big difference will be once I install the H&R's, swap out the heavier 20's back to forged 19" Champions and have the EWerks crew do their magic. I can't wait to see the difference.
As far as turbo, just not convinced I can go that route. Love the car and its predictability!

I haven't used Bumperplugs personally, however I have heard nothing but positive things about Eric, and lucky for me, he's local. He may be a good option for you if you end up painting some interior bits. I've been on the site, and there is a multi-step science to the application so it won't scratch easily.
