Looks great! One thing that might go good is a pair of cup mirrors in the same shade of blue.

Do you have any photos of a cup style mirror on a 997?

Elliot, you just took your car to another level.

I know you said checkered flag graphics. Wonder if they make a shark blue shadow type of checkered flag. Something that'a s little opaque so it's not so in your face. Whatever you choose, it's gonna be good.

Thanks for the compliments. I found a good match today for the shark blue via vinyl(3M Gloss Intense Blue). A thought crossed my mind of 997.1 vs 997.2 side decals. Life is full of so many tough choices...

Testing my new PPF with a long road trip through eastern Washington down to Oregon Raceway Park. The track day was organized by PCA and I got to run the track on back to back days in both directions.(Clockwise & Counter Clockwise). Crazy racetrack. So many blind straights and turns. Took me more than a day to not be lost out on the track. The weather didn't corporate as it was raining most of the time. But that was ok as I am learning the new track so I wasn't pushing it. It was a great trip and memories. Roughly 600 miles all in.

First stop on the road trip out of Seattle was lunch at Canyon River grill. An amazing restaurant on Yakima river. It also happens to be on a sublime driving roading that snakes along Yakima River for about 30 miles.

Took a visit out to beautiful Oliver, BC. To enjoy the wonderful Area27 track that I haven't been too since 2019 in my BRZ tS. One of my favorite tracks in the PNW. Had me considering membership after such a great day. In total racked up over 600 miles on the RS. Living the dream.

I decided to take the long way and drive out through WA State Route 20 and US 97. It was an amazing drive with some great scenery and roads.
