Thanks for the kind words. It’s definitely a whole ‘nuther look from stock. I am also interested in how the Dip holds up—especially after a few washes.
Should hold up fine, my brother had it on his Jeep wheels, and even after 2 years/winters, it still looked perfect.
Was forgetting to ask.... Do you run spacers with these wheels??? Cause I have a wide body too with stock wheels and would like to fill the wheelwells without over doing it ?!?
Installed GT3TEK lip (unpainted poly for now) and radiator protection grilles.
Yesssssssss! You got one... turned out nice. Throw a layer of white plasti-dip on there if you want a quick color-match and peel off if you prefer the black.
And could definitely drop that thing down a bit (lot) to do it more justice. The all dark look accentuates the 4x4 look
I agree. I bought lowering springs in the fall and just haven't gotten around to installing them yet.

Yes, I am running the ubiquitous 7mm/15mm spacers.

I might try that. Although with my black mirrors and soon black stone guards I think it fits quite well.
I have a GT3TEK lip spoiler for the 997.1 If anyone has any interest. Never used it because I went for the aerokit instead. Still black as received. Hope that's ok to mention here. Also have the stock bumper cover but thats hardly worth shipping anywhere.
I replaced my cabin filter and engine air filter today. As I do not have a lift, I have my oil changes, brake fluid changes and spark plug changes done by the dealer. So, the engine air filter change is the only service I perform, myself ( other than washing). It was a bit involved compared to most cars but not so difficult really.
Fitted the Fabspeed Catted headers and the RS engine mounts.
Now the car has the FS headers, Topspeed X pipe and genuine PSE mufflers it is much louder, even with the PSE valves closed. Up above 5000 rpm, it borders on obnoxious. The general sound at normal cruise is fine.
The RS engine mounts are an easy fit. Feels like a different car. An extra vibe in the chassis at around 1800-2100 rpm, but more involving, not annoying. The difference in on road feel is extraordinary for such an easy & cheap mod. Great cornering tip in, due to the rear suspension linkages being able to respond immediately to the lateral loading, without waiting for the engine mass to settle in the soft stock mounts.
I am also the newest cheerleader of the “Improved shifting” phenomenon.
I'm envious of your tandem oil pump cover. It and the heat shields are some of the only cad plated tin items under these things and they usually rust like a bugger. Exhaust looks great too.
