Wonder what you guys think of my new "porsche" decal :) , what i want to do next is do my brake and clutch and gas paddel to change to aluminium, how difficult is this to swap (is there a diy?) and what brand (if any) or dealer is the best for this?

Interesting.. I wonder what it would look like if it followed the contour of the boot lid edge.

It actually does follow the contour, the letters are for the 997 and are a little curved..

I recently added the aluminum racing pedals. I purchased them on eBay. The installation took about 30 minutes to install. The accelerator and rest pedal were the easiest. The brake pedal and clutch pedal covers were a little more difficult. Some people exchange the screws and nuts that came with the kit with other ones that blend better with the pedals. I didn't I used the screws and hardware that came with the pedals. The existing brake is aluminum and clutch pedal is a plastic like material. I removed the OEM rubber pedal covers on the brake and clutch. I then covered the pedals with blue masking tape, aligned the new pedals and marked the drill locations with a sharp pencil. When you get ready to do the clutch and brake you can determine the pedal location and where the drill bit and ultimately the bolts will pass thru the pedals and miss the support ribs. On a scale of 1 to 10 it is about a 2 to 3 in difficulty. Below is a picture of the finished installation. Recommend!!!

I used Ultimate Pedals bought from manufacturer. Very high quality with quality mounting parts, which I am told is not true of some kits. Extra bit parts included. I got the version with the little rubber pads, but they come in all metal in several finishes.

The brake and clutch do not feel much different, but the dead pedal and accelerator pedal have a much better feel.
