Moved it out of my lift bay to make room for the 540i whose fine ZF/Lemforder center link has been recalled. I love parts made in the third world labled as "German." A really fun job to do--twice.

Looks pretty good. What did you do, any more pictures?

Funny you should say that.

This: Stripe-It-All by Tapeworks

It says do it in 30 minutes or less. I have that little tool. Been sitting in my tool chest for almost 2 years. It along with a couple rolls the red pinstripe. :(

You've inspired me to dust off the cobwebs.

Cheers!

Sorry this is before and during. I don't think the letters are perfectly straight but a causal glance the look Ok

Did you end up using the 718 piece or did it not work out. Hard to tell from the picture.

No unfortunately it was too brittle to fit against the curvature of the wing. I ended up.breaking it. So I ordered letters to replicate it. The wing is curved horizontally and vertically so the stencil that came with the letters was useless. I wish it was perfect but Im gonna leave for awhile.

Where did you get the letters?

Ebay

No, that was on Guanella. We drove up from Grant on 285 up and over to Georgetown, then to Idaho Springs to CR 103 by Echo Lake and over Juniper Pass, and down Witter Gulch to Evergreen Lake.

It’s such a beautiful area and roads built for Porsches!

Can't wait to see the results!

Twice I've taken the car out, and to operating temperature. Now... I didn't install the barrier on the left side or right side of the trunk... just under the middle piece of wood.

I have noticed a reasonably substantial mitigation of heat. I put my hand on top of the carpet, in the middle... and it most certainly is less HOT... likewise the ambient trunk air when I open the trunk lid. So... it worked for me. One of these days again I'll pull up all the trunk carpet... and finish off the two sides.

Here's the product I used, and I've plenty left over.

I have the template for $25.

A template for the duck tail curvature? Its curved side to side and up and down. The deck lid template won't work, they came with one.

Painted the lower center bumper and tailpipe surround dark gray to match spoiler and front spitter.

Thank you.

New rims and tyres
 

996 rims looks fab :) http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1570801141.jpg

Nice! That is really a good looking 986! I like the wheels and the front bumper cover. The clear lights and black trim color sets the car off nicely. The Martini stripes really look good on a white car! :cheers:

What front bumper is that?

Thx

front and rear are called 997 GT3-kit CSR Automotive if I am not mistaken

Completed this summer, added stripes to my boxster to mimic the Cayman Design Edition 1.

Love that scheme, I had a porshce model car when I was a kid with that scheme. I think it was called the Martini Rossi team.

I swapped my 17" OEM twists for Victor Equipment Lemans 18".

Black face with polished rims on an ocean blue metalic car look good.

The 265s in the back look so fat compared to the 225s that were on before........but the whole setup def adds weight. Looks great though.

Got my new RTS installed!

http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1571004330.jpg

Installed some cross drilled rotors in the rear and changed the pads. Made another DIY for it.

Installed GT3 master cylinder yesterday and bled brakes/clutch with rbf600. Made my own one man brake bleeding catch bottle with some 1/4“ tubing and a Gatorade bottle. Worked great. Having that and the pressure brake bleeder makes brake bleeding a breeze.

Brake feel is great and travel is reduced to help with pedal elevation on heel/toe.

Got best in class at local car show. Plus family came to support and have fun. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...039adfd7b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9a08c26586.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a756cf352e.jpg
