Replaced dash speakers with some alpines. Nice improvement. My OEM speakers were actually in good shape no rips etc. But I destroyed them to use the OEM baskets to mount the new speakers. Next up installing the rear speaker kit from suncoast.

PCin DC - looks great. I really like the 997 seats. Hand brake needs adjusting.

Thanks! Yes, it definitely needs to be adjusted. I'll worry about that next weekend. Hopefully my other bits come in time.

PCinDC things looks good, how difficult was it to power the heated seats. I have a 99 and would like to have heat. But did not think it was possible to retro-fit a 99?

Installed a tow hook license plate mount thingy. Hate having a front plate, but now that I'm not right next door to Indiana anymore, I know I'd be asking for trouble.
It wasn't too much a pain. Had to reroute my frunk cable from the tow hook hole, but I found a good place for it underneath.

I sourced the center console switches from ebay and ran a new circuit from the battery. Wasn't too hard, just be careful, fuse the circuit and use adequate gauge wire. If you've wired an amplifier this isn't that much harder. Just need to account for the relays which you typically wouldn't on something like an amplifier install.

I'm currently trying to stabilize a couple of video files from a track day I participated in a couple of days ago. Then I'll move on to putting the overlay with some gauges in place. After that I'll upload them to Youtube.

What have I done? Not a dad-gum, dang-blasted, bling-blang thing!
Why? Because WI weather close to Lake Michigan has been putridly cold or rainy this spring with only a few tease days of warm, sunny weather. And this is what we are facing:
Followed by this spectacularly convertible friendly weather
With a BMW 330 Coupe Daily Driver, what's the point of bringing baby out for this crap?
