What did you do to your 997 today?

I replaced my aged rock guards with some carbon fiber magnetized guards, replaced the air box and throttle body with Fabspeed Y pipe and IPD 82mm plenum, also replaced the cabin, frunk and boot lights with LEDs which is a huge difference.

Correct, i took the old ones off as i didn't trust the magnetic strength of these guards. They are rated to stay attached up to 160MPH or so.

I did the same thing this weekend with the fabspeed intake, gt3 82mm throttle body, and IPD competition plenum. I also added some wheels spacers from USP motorsports.
Are you going to add a tune to your 997 now?

Culmination of a big, ten-year, winter service for my 2009, 997.2 C4S, six-speed cabriolet with 34,000 miles.
I: flushed and bled the hydraulic clutch and brake system, replaced rotors with Zimmerman Z-Coat and pads with Hawk PC, installed 5mm front and 7mm rear spacers, changed engine and cabin air filters, washed, polished, and waxed the paint, and re-installed my freshly restored and powder-coated Carrera Classic wheels.
My local independent: changed oil and filter, lubricated, flushed and changed the coolant, replaced a scratched piece of interior door trim, and tested and inspected everything else.
All systems, GO!

HI John, I have the tune kit from Fabspeed, but have not done that yet. I took her out for drive last night and I'm seeing a pretty good difference in performance so far, seems to have a little bit much more umph right around 5K and up. The sounds is amazing when punching it from the get go. I am wondering if a tune is needed at this point?
How are you liking yours so far?

Jacked it...for the "job". Plugs and cols to hopefully fix a misfire issue.
While I'm at it 15/8 spacers going on.
Hoping the relatively easy plug /coil fix works.

Took my wheels to get redone. Repainted same color of car, midnight blue and for some zing added a guards red ring on the outside of the wheel. Thought about painting the area by the crest red but chickened out. Sorry I didn’t. Wheels look great and a neat understated on the car..
