@nealvaughan What year is your 997? I run a Getty Ducktail on my 09 4s, great look.

Up next:
  • Took the wheels to a local shop to get powercoated. Picking them up in the morning!. I know tons of people like the black wheel look but I felt like it was just too much. Maybe I'd have felt different if there was a silver lip, not sure. Getting a light gunmetal color.
  • Numeric Shifter and Cable are getting installed Monday
  • Double-DIN Pioneer Head unit and 12-channel Helix Amp/DSP along with XM receiver are getting installed on Tuesday
  • In final negotiations with a RL member via a marketplace ad for Getty Duckbill Sport...that just happens to already be painted Guards Red
  • Soul Performance valved exhaust ordered and scheduled for delivery in December, for $800 less than Soul advertises it for!

I actually agree on getting the wheels coated, are you doing silver? The black wheels make the red not stand out so much and Guards is too good to not pop. The duckbill will look awesome!

btw, that photo looks like AZ, yeah?
I suspect it was a pricing mistake, not certain. When I made the purchase (not from Soul but another vendor, found by googling part number) Soul had this listed with CF tips for 3295 and the vendor had it $2595 (guess my math was off by $100). Soup seems to have dropped it for Black Friday to $2965, so still a deal but not as good as I thought. The vendors price has changed to be more than Soul direct currently.

^ this.

You can even modify the base to accept a Spiegen MagSafe Charger.
