There are only a few things in life that are guaranteed - death, taxes, and the transformational power of the Numeric shifter

Listed it for sale. Time for something different.

Thanks! Took it out for a night drive and I'm amazed by how much better it shifts and how much tighter the whole car feels. Since those engine mounts were the originals, it's no wonder I'm noticing some vast improvement! I also had a "clunk" when shifting sometimes before and that's gone as well. Time and money well spent!
Super simple install. Nothing special to be concerned about. Much improvement over stock.

It is a regular carbon fiber spoiler (I think it was this one https://fullcartuning.com/62836-nrg-...on-fiber-150cm ) but mounted on a custom made metal rack which allows the original wing to function as well underneath it (rise or lower).
Can you share more about it (maybe in a dedicated thread) it seems very impressive and I am pretty sure some folks like me will be very interested in the details.
Maybe some other pictures from inside / outside and how you attach it to the car...
Does it require to drill holes in the body ? Is it sturdy ? Are you not affraid that with the vibrations it might scratch the paint on either side ?

Just drove back from the mall, and there doesn't to be lower lumens throw (note: I opted for the "tint" film instead of the darker "gunsmoke"). Granted, the local expressways here are well lit.

have you noticed any significant changes to headlight output at night, etc?
I'm trying to figure out why you did this, but left the turn signals and side markers clear?

Woah woah... take a chill pill man. Wanna somewhat ape the darkish lights of the 991 GT3. Of cos there will be an output difference, but it's really not discernible to the naked eye (mine at least). Anyway, it's an easily reversible mod. 
Just wanna throw this out here (4m15s mark):
Simply cos I prefer it that look? Cheers.

Translation (and reality) is that yes, the headlamp output has been reduced. I'm guilty of doing the exact same thing on some Audis we used to own, but I know better now. Tinting exterior lamps and reflectors is a foolish modification.

What wing is that? Looks like the winglets might mount to the existing brackets? I was just talking about making some but maybe I can just buy them.
Edit.. looks like my view was messed up and others asked the same. I will PM you.. might save me from making these.
