Great car: very similar to mine.
Personally I do not like painted seat backs that much
I would have not put the Iphone proclip
Nice wheels: I have the center lock ones but these looks really nice!

Thanks for all the comments. I had a black 2003 Viper that I did the clear bra on; at first it was great, but after a few years it really dulled and you really see the lines after a wax if you didn't spend a lot of time with a detail brush. I'm not sure what the ramifications are of taking the film off every few years; can this damage the paint? Are there any newer and better products out now that don't dull/yellow? Anybody know of a good installer in South GA/North FL? I'll do a little more research on the boards and online and see what I come up with.

Yes that is my 97 B&W GTS on the lift.

One of the most powerful 997s ever created and faster than 99% of the cars out there, great setup, configuration too!

Ok...dang you!...WOW...Turbo S with 5 lug wheels...that is THE Turbo to get...trust me...very rare and those that know (like me) do not want the center locks. When I can I am getting out of my GTS just because of the Center Locks....total pain in the azz. Also the factory aero kit is the best! You will enjoy Hurley. He is great. Also when I started out doing track events I took the Porsche Sport Driving School after I had already done 1 DE and I learned so much at that 2 day school. You will have a great time.

Your Turbo S is awesome...the best 997 based car for daily driving on the street and occasional track. Enjoy!...dang you! LOL

I've got an older V1 that I use in the family truckster and the Viper but this beauty came with a custom installed Passport 9500ci and I really like it but I do miss the directional arrows of the V1.

Awesome Turbo. Enjoy. +1 for a clear bra. New film and clear wax should keep it looking great for years to come.

Congrats on your new wheels. Black is a tough colour to apply a clear bra. Magnifies imperfections
