What did you do to your 997 today?

Put a matte silver hood wrap, powder coated the gt3 wheels gloss white and added 5mm more of a spacer out back. White rocker and windshield decal and removed, sanded, and re-painted my front lip.

Just bought the same wheels for mine, which is the same color as yours. I also took an old set of $50 Chinese knockoff Porsche colored center caps I had and painted them to match - they fit perfectly. I'm still waiting for the fronts, which are backordered, then I'm going to put a red pinstripe along the rim.

I got lucky on my order time....initially there was going to be a pretty good wait due to backorder, but was able to expedite the order from Italy and got them much sooner!
*** Also I forgot to mention what else I did to my 997.....added the new license plate when she came home from the shop a few weeks ago. For anyone who may not have "added it up", 13 x 767 = 9971, and to make the spacing work I figured I'd add the "S" for good measure = 997.1S

I installed Racing Dynamics headers over the last week. 2 of the exhaust bolts snapped on removal. I found a kit from Stomski racing which provides a template to perfectly drill out the bolts and I recommend it if you find yourself in this situation. One of the snapped bolts had become unreasonably hardened was a real PITA to get out with Cobalt bits. Stomski has great customer service in my experience.
Snapped bolts, who said 2 snapped bolts are better than one?
new header installed - driver side
a bit blurry as was i after drilling on these things for hours
The stomski kit that saved my bacon. https://www.stomskiracing.com/produc...olt-repair-kit

Decided to switch to Driven DI40 so did the initial flush with DT40, rotated tires, and replaced the clutch switch which has given me a few "depress clutch" errors/non starts in the past few months. 12k miles on my 09 and the switch was still original, so more of a preventative repair.
