Installed a Top Gear x pipe. Would highly recommend researching this option if a muffler delete is in your future. Got mine for 40% of fabspeed cost and barring putting the car on a dyno I doubt you'd ever notice the difference. Have to say the car sounds much more exotic with the X pipe but as others have stated add very little dbs (possibly quitier at idle, but deeper). Worth the money in my eyes but my rust belt car was not as easy to work on as others have claimed.
Is that a Porsche front bumper? It looks really wavy in that light.
I see that too. The center section has 1 large and maybe a second noticeable depression where the urethane isn't smooth. Since it's going to have to be repainted for a proper match anyway, have the shop that does that address the surface issues as well.
Also, while the front corner lights are our, have them restored to be clear again, them cover them with clearbra so they don't age quickly. Polishing them removes the UV protective layer from the plastic lens, but the clearbra will address that and protect them from discoloring again and pitting. Or, replace them with the LED lights if you like that look.
Those look nice in the photos - kind of like the 991 wheels, but in a better 19" size instead of the OEM 20s.
I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the bolt seats might be conical or tapered rather than radius or ball seat. Make sure to use the corresponding bolt seat type for the wheel type or they won't hold the wheels securely and will damage the seats in the wheels.

Spent a little money to have side trim, glass and paint issues repaired. You wouldn't know this has 120K on it. 2005 997.1 with 120K. Original with Sport PKG.
Did a "6 month" oil change yesterday, (to keep with my 6month-or-5000mile schedule). Funny thing is, after 6 months with pandemic I only put 1500 miles on it, so the oil (Motul 8100 x-cell) was still a very clean dark honey color - haha. My OCD feels just fine today.
