Absolutely beautiful....I'm very impressed!
P.S. And the photography is pretty good, too.

Hm, you should put 3 things on the todo list to get back to OEM:
1. Steering wheel.
2. Orange indicators in headlights. 
3. Rear arm rest on center console.

Something about that shifter doesn't look right.
You should probably send it to me. You know, for uh... inspection.

Your car looks great with mods and without. You are trying to get back to stock but I guess there a couple of things you've chose not to address. Besides list above it looks like exhaust is aftermarket (looks great BTW). Was red console original on your car? I didn't get my car until 2008 so I really don't know what options were for the console back in the day.
Your wheels are my favorite style by far.

I did. A fellow board member got it and installed it.

That is a really fine example of a 986! You should be proud.
