Mind me asking where you got these and if they make different lengths? I have seen sources for titanium etc but very $$$$
Thanks

Please comment on the softronics flash. I have been on the fence for years now.

As for what I did to my 997 today . . . I drove it, just like I do every day!

I noticed a nice increase in power in the mid range, but the top low and top ends feel the same to me. I'll admit, I wasn't completely blown away by the results, but think the quality of the tune is excellent and I'd do it over again.

I'm sure that Moby is feeling the love, Nigel!

P.S. I was just wondering how the heck you guys were and whether you were enjoying the super wet NW winter?!

Got the windows tinted over the weekend 35% all around. I'm very happy with the results.

Went for a nice 150mi jog around Orange and Rockland Counties this unusually warm afternoon. Because pics or it didn't happen:

Peeled the cloudy rear arch paint protection and did adhesive removal. Passenger side came off in 20 min. Driver side was an absolute bitch and took several days. Still some haziness you can't feel but see in small patch. I'll replace them with the black ones I bought from Suncoast. Also took off a failing drivers front fender clearbra which appears to have been buffed or damaged with chemicals. Came off in one piece in two minutes max. Next will be the hood....pre-op patient.

Oh man I would love to do this on my 997 but I had such a disaster removing them from my 993 that im scared to death to attempt this again

Looks good though
