Well, there is a reason for that... It's not done yet
To be honest I just got tired of working on the car for a while and have just been trying to enjoy it a bit! Plus the weather here is getting cooler right now so a little extra heat on the ol' butt doesn't hurt on the night drives!!
Currently I have a nice piece of double walled cardboard in place, it was close by and fit well with minimal effort so that has been my firewall lately. Initially Renegade was going to fabricate and sell a firewall cover but they decided it was easier to get the aluminum top cover from other cars and make it work which was kinda the plan all along.
I have purchased a 2014 Cayman aluminum top cover which I would like to get someone with some actual metal fabricating skillz to massage for me and fit the hole, it can be done with the right tools.

Haha well I dunno about straight pipes but it is easy enough to change out that I will end up making a "sportier" exhaust here soon, probably with one very small muffler!

True and true. To be honest driving the car around as it is it's nice and livable, but from time to time it would be nice to have it roar a bit more!!
I just finished signing the paperwork on my home refi yesterday so I've got a bit more breathing room now and may be able to do more to it, although I'm just as happy to sell the car as it is and move on to the next one, I need a new winter project!!
**Edit to add: Seriously looking for a new project and serious about selling the car! Asking price is $40K or best offer - I would also consider trades on the car +$$ Would consider trades for: Boxster "S", Cayman "S", 996 Turbo, 996 C4S, 944 Turbo or any older 911... Also a 57-59 Chrysler 300C or 68-69 Chevy Corvette convertible too
