Be sure to ask for the green zip tie special, it'll match great with the blue cage

If there is anyone who would color coordinate their zip ties, it would have to include Elliot. He leaves no stone unturned.

Happens to the best of us. In the second photo, the lower right corner you can see the DBCarbon vent as well. I missed that for a few hours.

I can’t tell from the pics but is your side skirt missing the rubber deflector? I have an extra right here if you want… my new ones came with it, might be the wrong side.

One of my rubber reflectors is ripped. These get replaced pretty frequently. I'd take an extra.

Finally got my car back. Feels great to be reunited after a good 6 weeks apart.

The Interior came out looking great. Some remaining items on the inside are figuring out the issue with my carbon center vents and rewrapping the steering wheel.

Went out and did some cherry blossom hunting as it's that time of the year here in Seattle. My wife adores the trees and it's a good excuse to drive my favorite car!

The first track day is coming up on April 8th at Ridge motorsports park. Just purchased an annual track insurance plan from Open track. Starting to book out my season here in the PNW. Looking at 4 days at ORP, 3 days at Area 27, 1 day at PIR, and a bunch at the Ridge.

Man that interior looks great. Love the console with the accent stripe and subtle blue in the inserts.

Thanks, Steve. All of us are lucky a bunch to enjoy these incredible machines. I often feel surreal as I lusted for so long after the 997 GT3/RS. Now that I'm here, wanting to enjoy every moment.
