Yes I am aware the deck lid does not need to be removed for an air intake install; it is off for other reasons, will share soon!
Bumper looks great. Who did the work and how much did it cost?

Finally took out Blondie for a spin through the suburbs, in the midst of this omicron surge that kept people indoors.
Really happy she's driving like a peach, purring smoothly, vitals spot on - oil pressure normal, oil temps steady at 90degC.
Oh, and just reached a milestone today at 20,003 kms.





Just 5700 kms since I got her more than 2.5yrs ago. Gotta drive you more, Blondie!

Installed a Function First shift **** and changed the AC buttons as well as installed the Rennkit Bluetooth kit but used the Enfig Car Stereo direct replacement microphone for the audio so the


microphone is hidden in the factory location.

This arrived, but my car isn’t even here yet. Anxiously awaiting delivery, and the car parts keep showing up at my door 😬

Default Wrapped my 997.1 sport wheel and painted the trim

After months of debating whether to upgrade to a 991/992 wheel, I decided to try an alcantara wrap from mewant. The fit seems to be very good, very happy with the result!

That turned out great! Do you have a link for the wraps?

I installed the Rennkit as well and placed the mic in the factory location, get a lot of road noise in the background. Does the Enfig Car stereo mic have any background noise issues while driving?

Sure, from Suncoast, here: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/skuholxd.html

i did just notice that the link says “sold out”. It’s identical to the GTS wheel but I don’t know the difference, other than the GTS wheel was more expensive

This looks great. How did you black out the silver parts of the wheel?

Thanks! I used regular black plasti dip for the wheel trim pieces, easy to remove if I ever want to return to stock.

It’s Wing Wednesday! Some may not like it but I love it; I finally completed the install of a turbo deck lid and RennKit eRams. No permanent mods to the car. Had to have the wing painted and order a number of parts but big thanks to StormRune and others for their posts on how to do the conversation.
