Can you tell me what did you do with the wooden shift ****?
I had them recovered in natural brown leather, I think there's a pic in earlier posts- this was before I decided to go alcantara. I am keeping them as spares in case I ever want to change up the look or sell them w. the car.

You've done very well with the car apart from the rear spoiler. But that's just me, i bet 90% of the other members love it. I guess I'm too young.
I like it bigger and are not a big fan of the old ducktail style. I do however love what you did with the interior, and everything else for that matter. Great, clean looking 911, I really really like it!

Thanks Holman! My tastes too have changed over the years. I used to want the GT3 wing, but with age, I have become more conservative and favor a classic look over sporty. In the past, I would have gone with black interior w. CF and nothing else. Nowadays, I am more open minded. Also, old is new again, b/c as you know, the 997.2 Sport Classic is equipped w. the duck tail, as well as the 991 full aerokit. Cheers!

Wow..beautiful car. Love the aero bumper and ducktail. Thinking about adding one myself. Classic! Great mods. Love the M picture. Was my goal at one point, but always wanted a 911. Kept my e46 m3 LSB as my daily. Your car is perfect!

Love the wheels!! Exactly what I am looking for.
I also tried the CF overlays on my previous 996TT because the door sills were all scuffed up and the results were fantastic for such a cheap mod. They can be removed easily as well.

Add the front/rear LEDs and your car is set.
Have you considered possibly removing the rear wiper via bumperplugs? (wiper delete plug).

Thank you RED! I do have the FVD LED's next on my list. And you're right, I'll pretty much be done. I have been tossing around the idea of the Martini livery, a little over the top, but I like the look. I kinda like the rear wiper. It is useless, but it's reminiscent of one of those old school options.

For what it's worth, they are JWL certified and weigh about the same as the Ultraleggeras.
I ended up buying a set of these wheels and want to buy matching center caps like yours. Did you buy genuine caps or reproductions?

I bought mine off eBay and they are oem that were refinished in gunmetal. They do have a semi-gloss to them, but you can't really differentiate once mounted. I checked wight he seller, but he doesn't have anymore, but I found this set for you:
