I had my airbox perforated. I kept seeing people posting about dismal results with aftermarket intakes, so during the 60k miles service, I had the shop perforate the airbox and drop in a K&N. Sounds AWESOME...she howls above 4000rpm...and when I sit at idle, you can hear the air sucking into the vent on the drivers side...pretty sweet.

tqtran, the 986 looks great! I really like your rear spoiler too. What brand is it? I've been looking for a spoiler like that. Do you also have the all red 550 edition tail lights? I'd love to see a pic of the whole car, front, side and rear. Thanks for posting pics.

Its a Strosec "Turbo" style rear wing. It looks bad ass when its up, looks like the 996 turbo
And yes, I do have the 50th ann edt. all red tails, I like them the best.
I will take some more pics as soon as it gets nice out (they say its suppose to snow this weekend here in Indiana.....)

I got the rear speaker kit from PnP that they sell on eBay. It's their upgraded kit which is basically the same as the factory kit, but with coaxial speakers. You must have the rear storage unit in order to install them. It was pretty easy to put in. The only hassle was feeding the wiring from the rear of the car to the front. But it's a clean install that looks absolutely factory.

I have seen the 986 badge before, and really like the looks of it, but have never seen them for sale. Where can I order one of these from?
