I see you are local. Who is doing the work? Do they do steering wheels too?

I’ve had my 997 GTS for 12 years. When I first got it, it was my daily driver. As my stable grew, it began to get driven less and less. I thought about replacing it with a GTS that has collector-level miles, but after 2 years of searching, I wasn’t able to find one with the right options/mileage. Instead I decided to do a mini-refresh on the car and be happy with the one I’ve got.

It took a couple weeks, but I just finished up








Exterior
- Removed PPF
- Paint correction
- New PPF
- Ceramic Coating
- Replaced front wheel fender liners
- Replaced side skirts
- Replaced black plastic bumper skirts behind rear wheels
- Refinished the front lip
- Reconditioned all the front trunk plastics, ceramic coated them

Wheels/Tires
- Refinished the wheels
- New Michelin Sport Cup 2’s
- New Tire pressure monitoring sensors
- New Center Lock Nuts
- New Porsche crest center lock caps

Interior
- Polished and ceramic coated Sport bucket seat CF backs
- Polished and ceramic coated CF console and dash trim
- Replaced Alcantara steering wheel with a new leather wheel
- Cleaned Alcantara steering wheel for storage
- True rear seat delete, GT3 rear carpet, interior quarter panels & seat belt covers
- New Floor mats :-)

...and a few other odds and ends along the way.

I’m about to do the same thing to my wheels… have any natural shots? That’s a good color

TLC to my 2005 C2. My basic 911 that I drive daily!

Fixed her smiles with ZunSport stainless set...

Clean her eyes...

Eyes operation!

Changed her irises.

Took her to the track, drove her properly, then gave her a bath to get her all shinny and pretty again.

Relocated the "full" USB port on my PCCM+ from the front to the rear, modified the front port to the nerfed filesystem+charge only, installed the Rennline MagSafe mount and inductive charger. I must've missed reconnecting the GPS antenna, but that's ok. I'll pull it out today and make a couple adjustments to the cable routing I did. Hope to knock out repairing my glovebox damper tonight at the same time. Pics to come once done.
