I agree that this paddle wheel makes the car look and feel a lot newer. It's a more modern, pleasing design. The chrome-like silver accents on the paddle wheel also match better with the PDK shifter accents. And it was so easy to do, too! Win, win, win!

Default New Front Brake Ducts

Quick little install as part of repairing the front fender liners.


Old part is rubber and flimsy but fully captured the control arm. New part is smaller but longer and rigid plastic.


mmmmmmmmm brakes.


Adjusted after this pic so tabs fully wrap around control arm

This needs its own thread with pics and detail.

He beat me to it!

I drove mine on a shopping excursion with the wife as the temps warmed up nicely to low 50's. Looking for bath and kitchen fixtures for our re-model. Not the most fun I have ever had, but the wife figured I'd do less carping if we took the 911 and the twistiest route to Home Depot, Lowes, etc...T

Started the year off right with a nice four hour drive. Nothing wacky, since temps hovered in mid-upper 40's & I'm sporting summer performance tires.

Ticked over the 38,000 mile mark near the tiny little town of Kingston, Texas - birthplace of America's most decorated WWII soldier, Audie Murphy.

Great way to start the year. May have to make it a New Year's tradition.

Eh, maybe. Unfortunately most of the trip was in rain and darkness, but maybe one day.

In the meantime, back to today: Went for a drive, took a photo. Name:  wlkghXe.jpg

Nice match. I should see if the red Texas plates cost extra for my 997.2S!

Installed the OEM GT2 rear sway bar on my turbo, part fits perfectly without need for any modification, noticed better handling in cornering at higher speeds. Set the adjustable sway bar to medium setting.

Changed scratched door trim panel on driver side and ignition bezel to new parts. Great DIY here on rennlist.
