Did you do the gauge cluster yourself? I've been told it's a pretty tough job. My local Porsche dealer won't even do it. Looks great though whoever did it. Have the same setup and a similar steering wheel.

I sent my gauges to Pali Alto Speedo for the work. I will take on just about anything but this job is not for rookies. I do love the new look and the work took them just two days to Complete. It takes about two weeks to get the parts from FVD as they come from Germany. These parts look to be OE.

Nice pics Clubber. Lovely to see some 911 in the rough. I've honestly never seen a GTS with dirt on it besides my own. I like how the first picture is a reverse of generations. 991.2 in front, then 991.1, then 997.2.

Wow. Well done. Now I don't feel so bad that I made a wrong turn in my 997.2S today and had to drive down a mile of unpaved road!

I polished/sealed the outsides of my headlights a while back but have always been frustrated and embarrassed by some light hazing on the interior surface. Tonight I sloshed some 99.9% methanol on the insides as described here to impressive results. Should have taken some before shots but they looked something like this

Hand-washed her with close attention to detail on Thursday, then we were deluged by two days of torrential rain. She is sitting clean and dry with two coats of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. If it rains tomorrow I may add a coat or two of Wolfgang Fusion Wax for that warm carnauba glow. The products look great on freshly polished paint and over the XPEL film. If it's nice, we're driving to Lake Geneva for the day.

Default "991 like" spoiler for 997

Anyone have any idea who makes this "991 like" spoiler for 996/997?

Shot a bunch of photos of the car. One came out pretty nice I thought!

Today I finally ordered 7mm and 18mm H&R spacers for my 997.2 C4S. I have a question, will this affect my camber enough to have the car aligned after installation? Thanks!
