They did a great job matching the Champion and F77 font I wanted to have done

The only downside is the previous owner decided to cut the plug and to hard wire into his existing loom, getting it ready to send to paint, can't wait!

Can't wait to see both of these when finished. Please post pics of the results.

installed a quick release plug connector for DRL

I didn't like the T-tap look & one of the connector keep cutting off the light for not been secure enough so I decided to piggyback a plug connector to the LED fog lights. The other plug connects to the DRL relay module.

To the dealer yesterday for service. Discovered I bought a 997 that needs a new clutch. That's what one gets for rushing a deal and not taking good advice on getting a ppi.

Debadged broken Targa emblem and installed "S" tips

I had broken the "g" on Targa last summer while cleaning the car...finally decided to just remove the whole thing - like the clean look. Wasn't too hard; I don't have a DA polisher so had to polish by hand but came out pretty good (sorry, lighting in picture not so good)

Also straightened up the "s" tips that Darin Fister got for me to go with my new Fister exhaust that I installed last weekend.

Michael you've really finished off the rear end, love the exhaust & the clear lights - not envious much

Ran the track @ Thunderhill Raceway at Willows, CA. Rain all day along with lots of wind. Nothing like car control on a wet track. Need good W/S wipers as leading car kicks up a lot of spray! All who brought slicks sat it out! While waiting for next run, I watched this lucky fellow come out of Turn 14 with a great amount of enthusiasm, only to spin out and find parking deep in the mud……….
