Dropped it of at the detail shop for a head to toe inside and out wheels off cleaning and paint correction.
Hopefully this will improve what must be the dullest shallowest black paint Porsche has ever offered.
Fingers crossed . . .
After 50 hours of work which would have taken me 9 days . . . not bad for a 17yo car.
Dont think so. Just hours of elbow grease. Prolly some super duper foam as well.
I was thinking of having the wheels repainted, but now they look like new. The car paint looks awesome - however - now ANY imperfection is glaringly obvious.
Took a stock exhaust video clip, a few pictures of the wheels and then dropped the car off to get the tech art springs, numeric short shifter, iPd plenum and sharkwerks pipe put in. Paint correction, ceramic coat and expel on this weekend righT after. Let the fun begin!
Fister mufflers and sharkwerks center muffler bypass installed. Finally sounds the part—very happy with the result. Just had fister mufflers on my last 997.2. Glad I went all the way with this one. I’m sure my neighbors will come to appreciate my cold starts if I was more tech savvy I’d upload a cold start, but for now just pics of the CMB.
With installation of red seatbelts. This has been on my wishlist since I was speccing 997s on the configurator in 2005-6, finally added them to my car. Following the tutorial from USMC_DS1 in the how-to/DIY sticky the whole process took about 90 minutes for the disassembly and another 40 minutes to button everything up again. The webbing was swapped by Safety Restore in Massachusetts (no affiliation) with same-day turnaround and two-day return freight.
I couldn’t be happier, the red breaks up the black full leather so nicely.

The HP gains are nice, too!
Nice. What about the rear belts? Did you replace those too?
