Wow! Looks great! Normally 20's look way too large on 997's but yours nicely rocks the size.

finally replaced the orange side marker lights with clear lights and chrome bulbs, replaced 1 switch on the clutch, replaced the "S" on the rear lid and finally installed my PCA and Rennlist stickers

Installed the Savvy and Bluetooth adaptor for the V1.... now should I replace the 6-year old V1 with the newer "ESP" version?!

I did not get the red "S", just the stock silver. My future plans are to put the "911" on a new ducktail. LED taillights and driving lights are next on the agenda!

Washed about two pounds of pollen off of it yesterday, only to find about a half pound of pollen on it this morning

Makes me want a speed yellow car!

Thanks for posting.That looks much better than mine turned out. I'll be going to have the rear bumper resprayed after a little nudge from behind, so I think I'll ask the body shop to do the same.

Today I washed the car with a waterless wash for the first time. Pleasantly surprised with the result.

Mine lives in the garage, but got attacked by pollen too at the park.

Added SmartTop to my cab. Best mod so far. I think I first got the hint from the author of this thread!

Wire wheeled my rusty wheel bolts. Fresh coat of Rustoleum. Took the snows off.
Loaded the Jack in the frunk and went and changed my mum's snow tires.
Excellent service vehicle.
