Carbon fiber vents have stitching to match interior when OEM.
I went the opposite direction of many and removed carbon fiber. I took out my unusually unblemished oem carbon center console and the carbon fiber ****. I added a few leather bits to tie it together along with a carbon shifter trim. I really wish I didn't have red gauges.
Sorry for the sloppy pic, I just snagged a quick shot.

@Body In White Thanks for sharing your thoughts on my list and the base option list. I'm gonna remove the Center console covers after the input. I can email you the the PDFs if you PM an email.

I love this car so much. North of 28,000 miles. Looking forward to the 30,000. I'm not too far from being a majority mileage owner! How it sits currently

Notes for myself that others may find helpful. I think the only RoW specific rear bumper parts to my understanding(which is limited) is 1,2,4,5. The rest of the parts listed are universal for NA/RoW rear bumpers.

oem looks better - the black out on the 997.2 effect just doesnt seem to work right. it's been done a few times.
gorgeous car + tasteful mods.

Update for other 997 GT owners who may be interested. Blacked out headlight with blacked out ring. Similar to the 911 sportclassic/speedster headlights but blacked out internals. I think it needs matching speedster/sportclassic DRLS. Im not sold on going full black out on my white car. Maybe if I was running black accents. On colored cars I think it would look better.
Passenger side Blacked out and Driver side OEM

Thank you. I think it may take a full commitment to make it work. I would be interested to see the following: Black out headlights + Speedster DRLS + Black trim Taillights + any remaining exterior silver trim black. It wouldn't be cheap to get to that state either.

Track day 10 & 11 for 2022. This is 5 and 6 at Ridge motorsports park. New personal best of 1.53.6 on Supercar3s. Virtual best of 1.52.2 so more work todo. But that's the fun
My red seat belt really an eye sore LOL. When I switch out the cage this winter for a shark blue cage I'm going yellow belts & yellow door pulls.

Hi Elliot: Love your build and hope to run into you one day at Lake Washington Cars and Coffee. I have a 997.2 GT3 . Could you let me know who pinned your coolant lines and was there a reason why you didn't weld them. Thanks Scott

PS my favorite plane is the SR-71 Blackbird. I've enjoyed checking out the variant at the Boeing museum of flight.
