The widebody is clips and screwed on, unfortunately narrow body is double sided tape and some high grade silicone for the seem.

I have narrow body so it's like a 10 min install. Maybe 20 with a isopropanol cleaning for good adhesion.

You can spare 20 min.. I want to see them CF ones installed.

I got one side done quickly, but the other took me three tries and 30 minutes to get right. Care and attention are needed to avoid wrinkles near the outer edges (which would look terrible if allowed to dry). Once done correctly, the dry/cured result looks close enough to paint that a casual observer would think it was stock. These are terrible pics of the before & after. I’ll get some better ones eventually. Thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Somethings not working there. 996 at first glance. The blacked out venting comes into it too. If you like it cool.
Very seldom do I see an"upgrade" that doesn't look Ricey unless its an OEM upgrade. Kinda like spray tan.

Default Numeric concealment.


1. Console is covered in weird soft paint. 2. Excellent how too’s on Rennlist made the job easy. 3. Yes I have Numeric cables. 4. No, I don’t feel like crawling under car to fit them tonight. 5. The numeric shifter was easy to fit. 6. Going for test drive tomorrow!

This set up fills out the wheel wells perfectly!!!
Have the same in black for 997.1TT... Looks great even at stock height but a slight lowering would make it menacing for me... but alas, my driveway eats the chin spoiler as is...

Default replaced engine mounts

Replaced engine mounts -- thanks to Bruce In Philly and frankyluis23 and others for the detailed DIY posts. Very easy to do. Surprisingly significant improvement, especially in reducing vibration at idle and smoothing first gear takeoff.

Before tips:



After tips:


almost 5/16" change. this is a no brainer update.
