You can't show such a nice piece of work here and not expect others to jump on the bandwagon

I would def be interested in this exhaust aswell
He is in Texas and yes, the exhaust was built exclusively for me but Kenny's business is exhaust fabrication. He can build anything for anyone. He has the experience, expertise, and is one of the best in the business. A well-kept secret perhaps. He is a great guy to work with and can customize it to your particular liking depending on what you're after. I'll have more info later in the week after the exhaust is on the car.

Seriously nice work, the structural rigidly of the ribbing is classic McNeil.
LOL Chris, I guess I'll have to live with a non-Europipe exhaust. I'll take my chances with Kenny's fabrication work any day

Nice, good thing you didn't have to pay for that PTS and all the Interior Bits Paint Matched too.

One of my favorite colors is Nordic Metallic which is an Orange-ish Gold. But I've never seen a Turbo Pumpkin before. I like it a lot.

Time for another update...

The first item is an AerofoceTech Interceptor OBDII gauge that I installed in place of the sport chrono clock (which is completely useless). This thing is pretty amazing. It plugs directly into the OBDII port and gives you a ****load of readings off the ECU.

I usually have it so that it shows battery voltage and IAT, but it can deliver over 50 (I think, there might be a lot more) readings in real time. It also shows boost on 2008+ cars. 2007 997TTs need an additional sensor which I have but decided not to install. The boost gauge in the cluster is fine, I prefer it to a numeric reading anyway.

And in addition to all of that, it's an OBDII reader. So it can scan for codes and clear CELs. Oh, and did I mention the 2 LEDs at the top can be configured as shift lights? Yeah, it's awesome.

The color scheme is pretty close to the stock white letters/numbers on the black background in the cluster. I did paint the face of the gauge flat black to better match the interior though.

For more info: http://aeroforcetech.com/products_interceptor.html

And some discussion + install instructions: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...e-awesome.html

Here's what it looks like in the car. The pics give it a blueish tint, but in reality it's really close to the stock screen in the cluster:





I also removed the rear wiper and installed a plug. The rear wiper was the only option my car came with that I really didn't like. But I wanted a clean removal and finally found the right plug here: http://www.urotuning.com/ProductDeta...o-Wiper-Delete

Keep in mind that the kit Urotuning sells comes with a thin rubber seal and you'll need a thicker one. You can find one at a hardware store.



And finally, lately I've come to appreciate the 997.1 lines more and more and decided to ditch the Dectane tails for a set of OEM red ones. I really like the look of the car now:





I think I'm done "upgrading" for a while

Tail lights turned out really nice Ilko. What did you do with your dectanes :-) Let me know if you still have them and if they might be for sale.
