Let me know when you are in the area next. We have a pretty large group of auto enthusiasts. We tried to get together at least a couple of times per week to talk car-stuff...you are welcome to join.

Looks great - I am bare stock right now, but your post kinda rekindles the desire to do more with my beast.

I can't seem to leave this thing alone...lol.
US$ 40 worth, of wrap material, a couple of exacto knives, a few cuts on my fingers, but I am VERY happy with 3 hours worth of work on the car tonight. The wood trim was not my cup of tea...I keep going in the garage and sitting in the car to admire it...

Proper!! Coincidentally, I've been toying about wrapping my trim the last few days, lol. I've only wrapped the (silver) shifter panel with the 3M DiNoc carbon vinyl. I really like how your trim has a matte finish now. Great job!

EDIT: BTW, I love 997s, do you have any more shots of your turbo?

Do it...it is definitely worth it. I thought about going the brushed aluminum, but I also like the matte finish of the wrap.

Here are a few of the EVT...
