I was waiting for someone to spot that. There was nothing in behind to screw into. Once I stop being lazy I will have to re drill two holes higher up and move the screws.

Or just glue that last screw in place. It's not critical

Pedals look like a nice upgrade looks wise.

I went back through the records to see what my first mod was. I believe it was the circumcision.

OP, now that you have installed razor-sharp pedals, be sure to wrap a towel around them when the time comes to replace your ignition switch.

Trust me.

I like them - and if you do any amount of heel-toe, this will prevent you from rounding off the edge of your brake pedal. It's amazing how quickly you can chew that pedal up.

That sure does look purdy! Do these intakes add more to the sound?
From inside, it sounds a bit better. From outside, its largely undetectable. I think.
Y'know what would really set off those pedals nicely? A carbon fiber fusebox cover.
(not pictured: New black aluminum pedals)



C'mon, it's just one more part. You can stop anytime you want.
Unless you're chicken…don't wanna be called 'chicken' in front of all your new Porsche friends, now, do ya?

This picture is like looking in the mirror... My car is the same colour too. Add some high flow cats and tubi style cans to what you see in the engine bay, and the sound is intoxicating

Is this the color of which you speak?

Strongly considering Fister exhausts, but: One must stretch out the mods.
Plus, I just paid for a new set of Michelin PS2's for installation next week.
Had to get 3+1 from two different states, to assemble a set of them.

everyone mentions fister but maybe he has PSE? Quite common on c4s (he said his car sounds good) and no stock 996 sounds good. They are quiet!!

Also, Intake was mod #1, and two weeks later I upgraded my suspension... Car looks and sounds great but now I want an exhaust system

You'll want to get rid of the easily scuffed SoftTouch painted parts inside. Carbon (DBCarbon is a great source); painted; leather, whatever.
I'm pretty sure that if you leave the Soft Touch parts in your car, it causes cancer.
No, really, true story---I saw it on the Internet...

Don't forget replacing the all-important seatbelt guides.
Improves cornering by 0.1g and top speed by 5mph.
Oh, yeah---no question. And, they'll make you taller and smarter.
The guy who sold them to me said so.

There is no way my car is quiet. My neighbour keeps commenting on how amazing it sounds and it surprised the hell out of me when i first drove it. Doesn't have PSE ( there is a switch on the dash no?) I will re check all the receipts that came with the car and double check he didn't have anything done.
