Re: Mods for my car coming up...
The link doesn't work..Here's a description of the mods4cars features:
Remote window control: Easy one-touch comfort operation of windows with the original remote on all models (US and Euro) by holding down the power-locks button. No extra remote fob or reprogramming of the key or car is necessary!
On 987 Boxsters the top can be operated in one-touch mode while the car is halted. Also, top operation is not interrupted when coming to a stop.
The "Lock-In" feature locks the doors once the car starts moving. In contrast to the original Porsche feature which can only be enabled or disabled at the dealership, this feature is user-programmable and even better, optionally the doors also unlock when the engine is switched off and the key removed.
Home light XL: The Headlights can be activated for 30 seconds at any time by tapping the trunk button on the remote twice. Tapping the button twice again before the time runs out will switch the lights off immediately.
Trunk button delay: Prevents accidental opening of the trunk in most cases. If activated, the trunk can only be opened by holding down the trunk button on the remote for longer.
Chirp on lock/unlock: If activated, the alarm horn will give brief "chirp"signals when locking/unlocking the car.
Auto-Tilt function for the passenger-side mirror on reverse gear. A great addition for cars without seat-memory.
Passenger window auto-up fix for all cars where the window will only roll up automatically once it is past half way. Usually found on 997 Coupes
User programmable: All features can be individually enabled or disabled. Some also allow different personal preferences to be set. All settings are retained even if the car battery is disconnected.
Shop/Diagnose mode: The chip can be set to be completely passive, as if it was not installed at all. It becomes "invisible" and will not interfere with any dealer diagnostic tools.

The GT3 vent won't fit in the Turbo bumper without modifying the bumper. I plan to have a trusted bodyshop do the job for me.
I am not that braveLets see how it will work with you, i might be encouraged
Any half-skilled body shop worker with a hacksaw will do the job - that is not the problem. I object on 2 counts: (i) it does not belong there, it is a bastadardization of a car longing for another one and (ii) it may spoil (pun intended) the front end aerodynamics [Note to last point: irrelevant if car is only to be driven in slow slipstreams.

What is the purpose of the vent on the GT3, would it serve the same purpose on a TT? Or is it purely cosmetic?
On the GT3 the vent is the exhaust channel of the front air dam and central radiator. No such provision exists on the Turbo.
Weissach pays a lot of attention to the aerodynamic properties of the front bumper, which are responsible for the downforce applied over the front axle. The GT3 grate/exhaust must somehow be balanced by some aero properties of the GT3 spoiler. Same for the Turbo. To tinker blindly is deny Weissach's expertise on the most difficult characteristic of a fast sports car - aerodynamics.
And what about substituting a full GT3 bumper on the Turbo? That could be done, but then again, on the Turbo, would not be balanced with its rear aero properties. These aero things are nasty details of great importance, for those of us who care about good engineering.
But of course, in real life, aerodynamics may not be important for many of these owners who will never need it... these things are for show anyway.

Re: Mods for my car coming up...
I eventually plan to put the GT2 bumper on my Turbo so the GT3 vent would be a temporary "measure" purely for cosmestic purposes. Your opinions may vary but personally, I like the way it looks.
If I recall, ADias was one of the naysayers when I put the spacers on my rears. That worked out for me so, your mileage may vary.

Here are some pictures from the install:
Stock mufflers
Intercooler
Rear shot of stock mufflers
Rear bumper
VTG turbine
Intercooler tubing
Parts waiting to be installed
Alternator, belt, etc
Under the belly of the beast
Stock mufflers
997TT without mufflers
cargraphic vs stock mufflers
Prepping the cargraphic system
VTG turbine fans
Up close
Super wide rear tires
Detail shot of belt
Comparing the two
Ready for the new mufflers
Cobalt GT3 parked outside
Detail shot of GT3 vent
Rear shot of GT3

Detail shot of dual tips
Tightening things up
Things will be all done by tomorrow morning so I won't be able to grab it until the end of the day. Stay tuned!

Re: Mods for my car coming up...
When I went to pick up the car, the car was sitting in the service bay. The service manager said he'd bring it by while I was taking care of the bill. Suddenly, I heard a really loud sound coming from behind me. I asked the service advisor what that was and both of them just looked at me and grinned. I realized then that it was my car! He revved the car a couple times for me and I couldn't stop grinning. It sounds extremely good. A definitely plus for those that like the classic flat-6 sound. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that it almost sounds as good as a friend's RUF 993 albeit not quite as loud.
When I got in the car, I immediately noticed that there wasn't any droning or resonance coming from the rear. I also noticed that there seemed to be a bit more power coming off the line and moving at speed.
I LOVE this exhaust!
