Play with them together, if not for yourself, then for me!

And find a twisty road full of 20 and 30 mph curves and keep the rpms above 4K. Don't go past 4th gear. Get near red line. You can thank me later!
For you, Wayne, I will!

Added "GTS" to my factory Carrara White dials. Was very straight-forward to do. Interesting to note, although the Carrara White dials were a quite costly option, they are actually made of paper, and not some exotic material. Honestly, I was expecting they would be, at the very least, some sort of thick, dense plastic or something like that. C'mon Porsche! Really didn't expect them to be paper, haha. Regardless, it turned out nice, IMHO. I'm very happy...

Nice job. I really like the white dials especially how they change to white on black at night.

Re-did the garage complete with spray foam, drywall, epoxy floors and a heater for winter months. Then I put it the 997 on a pedestal. Its wild-I raised to the the max and I have an inch or two to spare to the ceiling. I'm 6' and I can walk underneath without hesitation. I'm happy with the result.

Love it!
I wish my ceilings were high enough, I would have bought a lift a long time ago.
Nice and Clean....

jets - which brand/model lift did you go with? Is it meeting expectations?

I bought the Pro Park 8 PLUS LONG (PP8PL). It's a bit longer and rises higher (than the PP8S) to get an SUV under it. They are on North Rivermede in Concord I don't plan to park anything under it just wanted to avoid bonking my head. Most guys regret not spending the extra and getting the taller rising lift. It works perfectly and I also bought the extended aluminum ramps; much lighter and no scraping with my drop and front lip.

I added the OEM Euro side markers, Silicone Hose Kit and changed my broken key FOB to the really well made EBAY FOB.
