What did you do to your 997 today?
#916
I've been stalking Rennlist for quite a while. I finally dove in and bought by 1st 911 (997.1)
My new-to-me '08 Targa 4S went in for a clear bra today. I just have to put up with the Honda Civic rental for a couple days until I can pick it up.
I followed everyone's advice whenever I read a new Rennlist member post--Clear side markers DONE! what a difference.
I'll get pictures up ASAP.

Phil did you get the oem or the aftermarket? The aftermarket one in my opinion is good enough considering the price of $30 vs oem. You wont know the diff. I have been using the aftermarket key and keeping the oem housing just to preserve it and am very happy, and my car is a 997.2. Just sharing if others also intend to do this mod, which for 997.1 owners i really a good one. Iv seen busted up .1 keys.

I bought the aftermarket ones, $20 each. They appear to be well made and work just fine. For $20 a piece it was a no brainer which ones to get. Everything transfers over real easy, apart from the transponder coil which was a pain to get out of the old key. Still only took 30 minutes to do both keys.

Added the Maxspeed LED side markers. Kind of look like they belong on Vette or Camaro to me, haven't made my mind up on them yet, but do prefer them to my old clear markers though.

Removed the driver's side door panel using this excellent DIY and verified that the problem with my floppy door handle was the same discussed in this thread.
Ordered the replacement parts along with replacement door trim panel clips since a few broke when I removed the door panel. I highly recommend using a trim removal tool.

Got it all back together and the interior door handle is like new again!

have to agree, and i am a fan of phil's car. they are a little too much imo.
A bit robotic looking IMO. I agree, on an American car they'd work. The p-car needs more elegant lines.

Yeah, the best thing I can say about them is that they are different :-) I liked the idea of adding some black to the sides as the the red really looks like a slab of color with the black rims, but not sure they work that well.

Installed the ZunSport mesh grill guards today.
Spectacular design makes an insanely easy installation-20 minutes and no bumper removal. I would say that the design allows for easy removal of the grills (especially the top ones) if needed for cleaning.
I was going the DIY route, but in the end decided to try these. I dont mind paying for something engineered this well and the communications and delivery from ZunSport was world class. No regrets...only smiles!
I added some pictures below... Note that some of the picutrs have exposure and contrast adjusted to make the detail more apparent since i installed the black grills on my black 997
