Julian987 Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 Fantastic job. Looks mega. Only thing that jumped out to me in the video is the rounded end of the black stripe on the hood looks a big jagged and not perfectly crisp. Could be the video playing tricks on the eye though. I would reckon doing those stripes as decals would give a crisper edge finish. Looking forward to part 2. Looks stellar!

Next time I'm out there I'll take a better pic of the stripe. I don't think it is jagged but I could be wrong.

Porschaholic Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 Looks great in Green. Did you have to flat and polish to get that finish?

In a barn.. can't keep all the particulates and such out of the paint. its not horrible but i do have to sand and buff, which doesn't bother me as i would have buff anyway. 👍 1
ttt123 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Posted February 13, 2023 Finally tackled the bumper. Let my son get some practice in on doing the primer. came out ok, still need to wet sand and buff. 1
Popular Post ttt123 Posted February 21, 2023 Author Popular Post Posted February 21, 2023 Front bumper is on now. Took me a while to figure out some issues i was having with the lights but all good now. Also made some mounts for the front door speakers. Should be pretty loud. 3
Popular Post ttt123 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Posted March 17, 2023 All finished up. I have a new IPD plenum kit and GT3 throttle body for sale if anyone is interested. I put them on for one week and pulled them back off. I didn't like the change. $800 for the whole kit, shipped from 48446 is someone needs them shipped. 4
Windymiller Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 From the photos it looks like you’ve done a great job - I think your ‘GT-R’ style / look really suits the 987 shape, and the colour is superb 🤩👍🏻 1

It will drive pretty awful without a map.

I have a Softronics map on my car and it's been spot on for just under 6 years now. Curious to hear what's caused your bad experience/if Scott has gone downhill.
ttt123 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) well for ME.. no support. I had an issue with my check engine light coming on and tried to get some help trouble shooting it after the tune.. I was met with "go have it inspected and get me the codes" So I had to either go by me a code reader or have a mechanic look into it. So I ended up taking it in and $1300 later the porsche mechanic said it has something to do with the 02 sensors. I didn't pay to have them fix it as they said it was most likely the placement of the sensors on the after market headers. Told that to Softronics in a thread we were going back and forth over and he chimed in and said "ya 02 sensor placement can cause engine lights" which left me replying "you couldn't just have said that before i spent $1300 on a mechanic" Not a fan of them... there customer support sucks.. flat out sucks. I have his back and forth emails and he is rude, short with you and once you pay.. your on your own. My experience with them.. i know plenty are fans of theirs. Kudos to those who have had good experiences with them FOR ME.. not a fan. Edited March 30, 2023 by ttt123
