Let's see all those 997s.
Here's my original owner 2006 997 Carrera S with 16K miles. My first 911 that will be handed down to my son someday.
I've got some aftermarket LED lights (that i'm contemplating going back to stock) and 997.2 wheels. I've got the original 19" lobsters waiting to go back on at some point too.

under my watch i have:
- replaced the factory PCM with a kenwood wireless carplay unit
- added a JL audio HD750 amp and 10" subwoofer in a custom enclosure in the rear deck
- added sound deadening to the doors
- replaced the what appear to be original yellowing stone guards
- gtechniq ceramic coating and full front xpel PPF
- updated to porsche solid red tail lights
- replaced the fabspeed maxflo exhuast with a catted speedtech 2.5" x-pipe exhaust
- had the PCM interior stack repainted in matte black to match the 997.2 factory look
- replaced the dilapidated factory carbon fiber dash strip with new carbon from MACarbon
on my todo list is
- drop engine, pin coolant lines, pin cams, new sachs 2.5 clutch kit and GT2 cylinder, replace every rubber gasket/hose/seal
- replace the delaminating gauge cluster overlay with a new overlay from FVD

I'm a sucker for red, but all the same, you have impeccable taste in cars. Would love to see the others, maybe one big family photo
Is that Guards Red?? Pictures make it look almost lava (even though I believe lava wasn't out yet in '06....)

Thanks Tom. I too am a sucker for red. Always have been, always will. Wife says no more red cars thought.
I should get some better photos. This is the only one I have of them all.
Oh and yes, the 997 is Guards red. As is the 86 3.2.

Need more 997 pictures for this thread!
Also, since there is now a dedicated 996/997 sub-forum maybe someone will consider starting a
'996 Picture Thread'

Nice! Great setting for a pristine cabriolet. Glad you're back out on the Alpine roads with the Turbo - I know the car is happy!

Just added to the fleet; 2012 997.2 S (Boxster not pictured.)
Had to have a different color, so Macadamia it is.

Very nice John!
I know you posted something about your diesel Cayenne sometime back. Good to see a pic of it and the new 997 additon. Conngrats!
And, a belated Welcome to Carpokes!
