Have you considered RWB? That would be sick to see, and the guy that builds them comes to you and builds it so you can get some good quality content for the channel.

Well after watching all about this build is very hard for me at least and very confusing to think how you as the owner feel weird now after you done it the way you like it, because you build it exactly how you want it so at least you must enjoy it for what it is maybe post more clips if you do more up-grades to it..

LED taillights all the way. I remember when the 997 first came out. When the dot 2 came out, I was on awe of the headlight and taillights. I own a 997.2 GT3, and still love them. A little dated, but stock is value in my case... LED for me...

OEM taillights in my opinion, but I do like the LED ones too. It's beautiful either way. The OCD in me thinks that you need to change the e-brake handle to match the shifter boot material though. Amazing build. I enjoyed it.

You can put red foil on the white part of the taillights and after that put light smoke foil on the whole taillight. Thats what I did and it looks perfect for me.

been watching this build from the beginning, since your channel was still pretty small. it came out even better than I expected - this is pretty much my dream turbo too, lol. PLEASE make at least another 1 or 2 vids with this car, even if you don't touch the build just a roughly edited compilation of driving footage would be amazing

@ninefourteensix 3 ай бұрын

Cool video and build. I actually like the original style tail lights but similarly I ditched the 'triangle' steering wheel, put in a Numeric shifter and swapped wheels (BBS) among other things. One of the great things about the 997TT is it's a stout platform to personalize and customize and (still) has a lot of aftermarket and community support.

The ppf absolutely makes the car pop complete gloss. Fantastic by that shop. Tail lights right choice. I would love a gunmetal bronze color rim. Front bumper and side marker lights a dark amber. No green hulk stickers on side rear window or make them a shade darker British green. Nothing wrong with car the ppf makes it pop and tail lights give it a clean look.

@johnbeyer791 3 ай бұрын

I’m glad you brought the saga of the turbo to a beautiful conclusion! I can’t help on the taillights, I like them both. In six months when you change back to the originals do a video and I’ll make a final decision! Love your vids, keep it up.

Congrats. It looks gorgeous. But, maybe its the audio and how it picks up but Im not crazy about the sound. Sure, Im used to V8s but it sounds way too much like my Cherokee XJ (not claiming its as fast..err slow. Mine tops out at 50ish lol but on any terrain. Though the V8 cars are another ball park lol) But, looks wise. Im in love with that look. Its beyond words. Congrats and here's to many miles in it!

@apb38 3 ай бұрын

I agree with the gloss. Car looks minted. Those vents above the rear wheels should match the hood IMO and those calipers should be colored something other than silver, your choice. Something exotic like neon royal blue or something.

I like the rear oem lights good adjustment ! It’s the little things . Some led aftermarket units look cheap tacky gawdy and out of place just put leds bulbs in it. It just looks pure , being a car guy it’s common to go with trends and practices but nothing wrong with retaining original charm to the car retro it out as I said before find good consistent leds bulbs for the red tail lamps it’s Porsche it’s cool it og

Watched the whole build, the car came out amazing!! Looks beautiful and sounds mean as hell. Love all of the upgrades you did. I had that steering wheel in my Cayman and yeah the newer ones are so much better looking. I think I lean towards the led tailights or even a set of 997 gts tailights, those still look good. BBS style wheels always look great on Porsches too. Only thing I would do is put Porsche center caps on the wheels What is the final HP number?

Love the ppf! That thing makes your car 1000% cleaner XD. I think you should get a CAE ultra shifter for your car. OEM+ alcantra shift knob seems to be very appropriate by any mean. But i think cae shifter (Silver rod with alcantra knob on top) will suit your car even better.

I like the red lights. The seperate leds makes things dated in my opinion. Maybe they sell some red led ones with diffused led lights, that would be very modern and fitting with your xenon. Must say one thing, your wheels (very nice!) in copper or a shade of dark gloss-gold would finish the car for me, but i am not a fan of silver wheels. And the exhaust tips the same color 😊 Nice to see Recaro sportster CS Alcantara, i have the exact same ones in my black Audi TT 8n-mk1. (Immaculate hobby car for the 15th year, 2nd owner!) All the best from the Netherlands👍🏻
