My spoiler is done! Paint is perfect, spoiler looks good (IMO) and adds a more finished looked.

Here's some before and after.
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

should have gone all out to rival the Plymouth Superbird.  ;D

My stock X97 shifter knob was looking a bit shabby and I prefer something a bit heavier. But at the same time I wanted to keep a stock-like look.

https://ixigears.com was created by a fellow Porsche owner, so I decided to give them a try.

Excellent quality, heft and an extremely easy install.

I'm very pleased with the result.

I actually think the stock knob with the red leather inserts is pretty cool. What I do like though is that the car has good footwell lighting...Way too many cars, including expensive ones, have no footwell lighting. If my 85 Trans Am can have a couple bulbs down there, over 35 years later everything should...

Footwell lighting is good now that I added LEDs.

Perfect reference.

Haha, yeah I had the same thought. The titanium knob on the S2000 has baked my hand on more than one occasion. Looks great, though!

Reminds me of the Big Ball shifter which was on the ‘01 TT which I had purchased from you some time ago. Loved the heft of that thing.

Those look pretty sweet.  They do a good job breaking up the sea of red.
 
That said, I think we need to start a go-fund-me to get you a new camera.
