As you are clearly not afraid of DIY's what do you think about adding a 991 sports lip? With your color I have a feeling it would look really good.

Since I had the bumper off, I reinforced the 991 sport lip with bolts and washers. Its much more durable now. Putting the bumper back on was easier than taking it off.

My car was raped by a flock of seagulls (not the 80s alternate band variety, thank god) so I ran to the nearest hose and sprayed that **** off.

Didn't even use soap. Over cleaning will only diminish it's value. Yo!

A wet day here, so I finally got around to adjusting the handbrake (e-brake), referring to Wayne Dempsey's 101 projects book. The handbrake felt it had too much travel before applying pressure & lacked feel when being released on a hill.

It's not difficult to do the adjustment, although I spent more time raising the car onto stands, getting the wheels off (and reversing the process) than actually adjusting the brake.

In the garage it feels…no different. Will have to try it on a hill tomorrow. Hopefully the sun comes out.

Maintenance day. Used my Quickjack for the first time. Really like it. Made it a much easier day. Did a spark plug change. Not a bad job on the 997.2. The second side was quicker. Used the DIYs from this site. So thanks to everyone. I also did an oil change and a brake fluid flush.

Installed the "gundo hack" mufflers this morning and plastidipped the rear logo. One productive morning! The sound was amazing, specially with a cab. Was running 2nd and 3rd pretty much the whole time keeping it between 3k-5k. $80 mod that can't be beat.

Had them put a 2 inch diameter pipe. I read here that the larger pipes produce more bass/rumble.

Cleaned all the leftover adhesive from recent addition of new MPSS tires. Also detailed car in prep for a beautiful day at our local Cars and Coffee event!

EMC2 love the look of your car in this pic, nice stance & I like the DRL's they look slightly darker than usual - tint?

I'm debating either the 1.5" or 1.75", I want the higher pitch sound, I think
