More shots of those wheels? and specs? LOVE them.
I finally finished the exhaust, had my tips powder coated black, and got a tune.
TopGear UK valved muffler system controlled by Homelink buttons
TopGear UK center muffler bypass
Topspeed Pro 1 200 cell cats
Softronic tune

Track Day
Wrapped up the remainder of my "catch up" maintenance on my new-to-me 2006 C2 w/ 42K miles. It had regular dealer maintenance but it's 15 years old & I figured it was due for much of this:
New water pump @ thermostat
New drive belt
New AOS & hoses
New coolant expansion tank
New plugs & coils
Repl Air & cabin filter
Changed transmission oil, engine oil
Flush coolant
I did a few fun things too - Gundo hack & installed clear side markers. Finally I did a full polish, paint sealer & detail while I was waiting for parts & it was on the Quickjacks. Next is window tint & upgrading the stereo. Whew! I'll excited to take it on a few trips & to the track this fall. Pics to follow. I'm too pooped right now.

Did an LED bulb conversion for my front bumper lights, including DRL fog lights, signals, and parking light. No dashboard errors, thankfully

I had them actually but I wanted a more OEM+ look.

Finished the center console re-finish project, and of course finished the other trim pieces as well. Those that say it's easy have done several. For those that haven't done one, it's a PITA, but worth the trouble after it's over.
BEFORE...with the OEM rubberized finish and a gazillion scratches from the PO's pet's claws.
Center console, trim pieces, and the A/C buttons done for good measure

Looks good! Not a chance in hell I’m tackling that job! I’d love to have it leather wrapped but costly.
Racer
Agreed on the leather, but way too much $$ and it will scratch eventually...as will this paint with clear coat (3 layers).

Replaced the 997.1 sport steering wheel with a recovered one from Dallas Custom Steering Wheel.
Very pleased. More leathery less plasticky than the original, a little thicker too.
Plug -n- play installation, easy peasy. At 1/5th the oem price for a new one.
