90% done with my mods I swear!! (we all know thats a lie, full suspension rework underway + new HRE shoes)
- cup front end
- cup lip
- 7.2rs fender trim
- gt3 oem rear decklid
- 7.2rs rear end
- 7.2rs titanium center exhaust
- no side mufflers
- cargraphic headers
took about 4 months to get done with a delay due to a stupid girl backing into the front end the day it was installed

Annual traffic safety inspection done. Approved without issues. Large service including spark plugs and serpentine belt done at Porsche Center the day after. Good to go for another year.

It's a std lift they use at the safety inspection. It has two sliding "hydraulic sleds" they can move individually to lift front and rear completely off the ramp to check steering and wheels for play, worn bearings etc.
They can even shake the car from side to side while up in the air.

Painted my cup holder trim white. Painted the center console and horseshoe white. Added alcantara shifter. Added alcantara hand brake top. Changed out the AC vents from charcoal to silver (may undo this mod or paint them white). Previously added the alcantara sports seats. About to do Alcantara steering wheel.
Will eventually cover the glove box and panel under the steering wheel in alcantara and paint the glove box latch white and maybe the door handles.

Nice! Did you have the professional done or did you do it? Curious what the cost is. I have a silver 997 with black interior and i wanted to paint the center console sliver

Silver you say. Like the aluma-look silver on some of the parts or an exterior match. I actually have an extra silver console from the cayman I used to have. Keep forgetting to post it here.
As to cost:
Used gray console for $150. Included ashtray and armrest. The horseshoe was $45.
I painted the cup holder trim and bought the two tabs on either side of the wheel for $16.
Paint was about a $100. So about $250 total for parts and paint and a lot of elbow grease. Removing the soft touch paint off the console and sanding everything was a pain. Add compressor, paint gun, plastic tarps etc etc.
Much cheaper than sending it out and I learned something ...
