First 2 mods \o/

Well - nothing fancy pancy. But I finally got my first 2 mods installed. Start small is what they say. I got myself some alu gauge rings and new mats (Lloyds). Next up: smoke or silver 3rd brake light and PSE. I also want to do some alu pieces inside, but I dont like when its "too much" if you know what I mean. Pure black inside is just too boring though. I do have one problem with the gauge rings. The small ones on the outside snap into place, but the 3 middle ones are hanging loose and fall off. Am I supposed to glue them on, and if so - what kind of glue should I use. Dont want to ruin the car. And as required - pics

I used this stuff called UHU tac. You rub a small amount in between your fingers to warm it up then apply it. It is removable. It has worked great. Nice mats. Get the aluminum pedals also.

I used clear silicon. Also comes off easy. Will

I used clear silicone as well. Works like a champ and leaves NO residue if you decide to remove.

Thanks guys - I'll try a little silicone too. And yeah - alu pedals! A must too. Looking at the carnewal ones. Do you know if one needs to drill holes in the car for the footrest?

Nice mods! This is how your wallet starts to get lighter!

It all starts with the smaller things, once you see how far you can go , well there may be no stopping you. Nice ride.....

I believe you use the existing screw that is there already. I have the Carcrafter snap ons and there great. No drilling at all!! https://www.carcrafter.com/catalog/p...b66a00fb1de70a $249 at Sunset!

I like the floormats! The rings look great with the aluminum guages! Great car!

M_O_I Nice job, good pics, Thanks for sharing. Are the Lloyds mats the same "foot print" as the Porsche OEM mats? Do they have the velcro disk at the back end like the OEM mats?

@Tim The mats are the same size as the OEM, but thicker (maybe slightly larger). Really great quality, and the silver binding looks great imho. I also bought the 2 rear mats and that helps too. They come with 4 hooks (2 each) that keep the mats in place. The hooks are easily attached to the chair rails by pulling off the plastic cover, installing the hooks and putting the cover back. No chance of sliding mats anymore. I can take a pic of it and post it if you want.

A pic would be great thanks!

Picture ******!!!! You are all pictures ******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

of course, we are... you aren't?

Yup!!!! Thats why I serve you these: 4 of these fit into the seat rail without any tools. Just pull off the cover, put them in so the screw sits in the hole and keep the piece in place and return the cover. Then the mats snap in - 2 on each side. Impossible that the mats will swim around Nice and simple system. So much better than the OEM velcro

So thats where my alimony goes too?? j/k LOL

Yes, we are!... and PROUD of it, too!!

I concur with Tim on this one. Hi, my name is Dell......(hi Dell)....and I am a picture *****.

Have you bought these mats in Sweden? Where and how much? They look nice! PS: Did you get hold of a PCM disc of DK?

Time to wrap your cheese, Dell!

I have the Carnewal pedals and they are really nice. For the footrest, I recall you simply put it over the stock footrest and screw it on with two supplied screws; basically the same with the gas pedal. (I installed mine in my 997S but I think 996 is the same). I think Gert also has the clear/smoked side markers. I put PSE on my former 996, and on my 997S - you will love it! Probably the best mod of all!

@GoodSpeed - no. They are bought in the US through Pelican Parts, but a lot of US shops carry the Lloyd mats. I've tried to track down a european dealer (because everyone says the mats are the best you can buy - and they are classes above OEM). Lloyd finally responded and said that they were not allowed to sell them in the EU because of contracts with Porsche. So no way around buying online and get it shipped. I paid ~$135 for the mats (4 piece set with binding and logo on the 2 front mats) + ~$40 for 3 days shipping + import tax in Sweden The PCM disk - I got the scandinavian one from 2000. But its as crap as the 1999. Dont think they updated very much. The bridge isnt even on it. I can send you a copy if you want it anyways.

Thanks I would appreciate a copy of he disc, it can't be worse than the one I have. I PM you my address.

Man_of_ice - Can you let me know where you purchased the floor mats? You can PM if you prefer...They look great!

www.pelicanparts.com , but there are lots of other US dealers that have the Lloyd mats. Make sure you specifically ask for the bindings. Lloyds produces them, but not all dealers write it on the website. More dealers, links and pics on http://www.lloydmats.com/ Edit: I bought the Ultimats. They have a heavyweight version too, but I'm not sure I would want that. Ultimats are already very thick - twice the thickness of the OEM mats. With logo and binding it was approx $135 for a 4-piece set

Thanks for the reference. I will check out pelicanparts. Thanks again.

Where did you buy your Llloyd Mats? I love the outer border in Silver, is that something you specified when you ordered or is that the standard? I looked at Performance Products website and the outer border color was not an option?

I got mine at Pelican Parts (link somewhere above). Almost none of the Lloyd mat sellers have it as an option in their web interfaces, but its a standard thing for Lloyds. So I ordered manually at Pelican without any problems. They will warn you that the silver edge is not the same color as the text (different material), but its damn close. No one will ever notice and it looks damn sweet. Only to be recommended.

Good job on the mods. They came out very nice. You're right about the guage rings- it gives the all black interior a little contrast/ interest.
