    Re: Upgrading my 997....and some options.

    thse valves came with the wheel set

    They are plastic... and they work as cover for the whole

    tyre valve, thus they cover all the valve BUT they look really like aluminium

    Re: Upgrading my 997....and some options.

    Way to go George! Nice changes! Now the only thing needed to make it perfect is install the OEM spacers! The car will look even more aggresive! Did you go for the interior Meguiars treatment as well, or only the exterior one?

    Re: Upgrading my 997....and some options.

    now this is a new option and it works as a cover for the front trunk

    very handfull if you tranfer liquids or things that can spoil and damage the front trunk carpet...


    i would say more of a usable tool IF you use your car for REAL daily transport means
