Installed Dynamat fender liners. An easy project with measurable results. https://rennlist.com/forums/997-turb...-material.html

this happened to me at the 10 year old mark, at slightly under 29k miles. same situation as you, limped home in third and thankfully i was 5 mins from home. having been familiar with the forums, i knew the cable must have snapped (which it did)
was it the shifter cable as you suspected?

What did I do to my 997 today? I broke it. 
Add me to the list of folks with snapped shifter cables....at least that is my assumption. I was shifting from second to third and felt a pop. Now the shifter moves freely fore and aft but does not move left and right, and the transmission is stuck in third gear. Fortunately I was still in the neighborhood just three or four blocks from home so I managed to limp home in third gear. I know the car is almost 11 years old but still very disappointing to have such a critical failure with only about 42k miles on the clock.

What's the trim around your headlights? Is that just vinyl?
