I have the same car in dark gray with the same kit, I changed a couple of thing on it but I need someone that has the same car to tell me how it looks or other to see what they think, I will take a couple of pics and post them.

This is my first Porsche and the first car I drove and tested before I purchased it.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Everyone is gonna have an opinion on that but mine is that you should keep the Prior design kit as that is very unique and not too many have it.
How do you like the fitment on that kit? I was pondering at one point but it was a bit out of my price range comfort wise. You just reuse the 996 hood but they give you the fenders and bumper, correct?
I'm a fan of NineEreven's pics for sure. Lots here look great. Here's what SoCal looks like today, 80 degrees makes for a top down lunch run. (If the pic works)

Thanks man! Your photo is very well taken as well. Many times the sky gets overexposed and bleached out but it is nice and blue! Also, clean cab!\
One more for the books!
Good looking cars guy, keep the pics coming. I installed my Eurospeed stone guards. Great company, excellent customer service, helped with my Double DIN kit too. Now everything looks and sounds great.
Redrige and Brick, Your car looks nice and clean, the turbo looks awesome how many HP do you have now?. I have the same car in dark gray with the same kit, I changed a couple of thing on it but I need someone that has the same car to tell me how it looks or other to see what they think, I will take a couple of pics and post them.

The brand is Techspeed in germany. They dont have them anymore on their website but they can still built one if ordered.
You can put the original 997 GT2 side markers or like i did those from Taiwan
with daylight and side markers together.
You can also put the original GT2 plastic inlays in the openings but those a heavy expansive so i run with the mash !!
31,000 miles, 6 speed, stock. Just ordered K&N drop in and new Alpine double din head unit. Ultimate drink holders to replace the factory ones that are leaving to make room for the Alpine along with the cdrom holder drawers. climate controls were already down low from the factory.
Car has electric seats and mirrors etc. Loving it so far. My sister owned the car the last 10 years and put 23000 miles on it. A friend of theirs bought it new in 2001. 5/2001 build date. Haven't seen too many of these 18" wheels on an 01.

Congrats with your C2, looks like new
As to the double din and the audio upgrade i would strongly recommend that you look at the Ipad mini solution. I was in your shoes few months ago, looking at double dins etc. but decided to install the ipad mini. And man - its fantastic. Everything and much more i would have wanted. I did the install myself and its easy really.

My recently acquired 2004 996 turbo cabriolet w/ 13K miles w/ AWE Tuning exhaust and flash, 997SSK, Forge DV, K&N air filter, H&R sport springs, billet pedals, 19" Champion RG5 wheels, and 8.5"/11" Michelin Pilot Sport tires, limo tint all around.
I've swapped out the interior lighting with LEDs as well as the license plate and DTR lights.
I tracked down a black hardtop w/ minimal scratches for $500 (can never find a guards red one around me) though I had to get a mounting kit as the original owner opt'ed for the delete kit so +$300; plus side, it came with all the v.2 mounting h/w). Plastidip'd it as well as the rear spoiler, mirror housings, and air intakes black. This way they match in color and texture. I'll be redoing the hardtop as I just got a pro sprayer vs. rattle cans (it really shows in the right light).
I then tracked down a 996tt bra for $50 (took a little while these things are non-existant/discontinued online that I looked). I then had a hole put in and binding done (complete with flap when not in use) to accommodate the Rennline tow hook.
I picked up the stainless steel mesh grills in Reseda from Mina Gallery (
http://www.mina-gallery.com/model-pa...ille-turbo.htm
). With the extra neoprene wrap they gave me for the grill edging, I made door trim guards.
She's currently getting an audio/nav upgrade to a AppRadio 3 + Focal 165 KRX3 + 2x JL Audio 10" W7AE w/ custom speaker box in the rear.
Once I get her back, I'll be covering the plastics in red Kevlar.
Nice, I'm just adding the clear coat they have for the flying stone on the road, a was about to put the same you have, I looks nice but my car is already too dark

Sorry about the crummy pics, still cell phone shots.
Thank you! I appreciate that. Yes they are GT3 wheels 9x18/11x18, 245/35 and 315/30 Michelin, Pilot Sport tires without any spacers. This is my first Porsche and the first car I drove and tested before I purchased it. I was very fortunate to find it. And it has a lot of upgrades.

I always pass by your avatar and stare at your car. You got very lucky coming across such good mods. Reason I asked is because Ive got a set of gt3 wheels like yours (except orange) that I plan on putting on my car, now I know I will be doing it for sure

It is a single turbocharger. I haven't had the opportunity to stick her on a dyno yet. TPC makes a majority of the pieces on the kit and their kits make power all over the board.
The hose clamps are already off the car. That was a show I refused to miss this year haha so that was a temporary solution. I have the whole exhaust system at a fab shop right now getting welded where the exhaust clamps are at, and getting hangers made. After that all of the piping goes to get ceramic coated.
