[@jessestacy7936]

Have you considered RWB? That would be sick to see, and the guy that builds them comes to you and builds it so you can get some good quality content for the channel.

[@tristansmith8836]

Headlights and steering wheel were a must that old steering wheel was basic💪🏽

[@PhloemXX]

Are you selling the front right door handle? How much do you ask for it?

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Well after watching all about this build is very hard for me at least and very confusing to think how you as the owner feel weird now after you done it the way you like it, because you build it exactly how you want it so at least you must enjoy it for what it is maybe post more clips if you do more up-grades to it..

[@jimhatfield5381]

Confucious says: "Ads like this are like flies with only one wing"

[@obe_595]

I liked the LED tail lights you had. Red ones feel dated.

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

dated-retro or classic, depends what you wanna see I guess, I like both sets

[@David-uz9qw]

Agreed

[@45JS]

I love me some oem. But the LEDs were a very solid aftermarket option

[@rickytaylor5076]

You ain't not wrong 😂

[@AustinEhm]

Wish they were clear!

[@billwoods9534]

LED taillights all the way. I remember when the 997 first came out. When the dot 2 came out, I was on awe of the headlight and taillights. I own a 997.2 GT3, and still love them. A little dated, but stock is value in my case... LED for me...

[@SaucyGarage]

LED tails looks loads better. If u want all red get some vinyl tint and make the clear red

[@AcXr50]

yes what he said ^ mine are tinted. everyone loves them

[@jd14305]

He said the steering wheel is outdated and he himself is using outdated tail lights, hypocrite

[@jd14305]

All red is alright but LEDs suit the car

[@itscg9811]

Was going to say the ex act same thing with the tail lights

[@joemother1098]

Glossy hood looks SO GOOD brother congrats on having a finished product 👍

[@peterrule8107]

Wow, it all came together really well, especially with the high gloss wrap. It looks amazing. As far as the tail lights go, I believe the LED ones make it look more modern.

[@jacksavage2612]

Damn this brought it all together. PPF and new tint did wonders too. Definitely worth the hassle for a lifer. Awesome.

[@alishan8880]

LED tail lights went better with the look

[@j0sh707]

I prefer the LED tail lights personally.

[@damonkeele4973]

I agree 100%

[@louisraduly6961]

Same

[@raybla]

I would love to see a video where you take it to the track or some twisty roads.

[@Brian-ec1jy]

I'm so happy to see her finished. Absolutely perfect from color to mods I'm absolutely in LOVE...

[@D.J._S]

OEM taillights in my opinion, but I do like the LED ones too. It's beautiful either way. The OCD in me thinks that you need to change the e-brake handle to match the shifter boot material though. Amazing build. I enjoyed it.

[@andreibumbulici2125]

OEM taillights and match with the 3rd brake lights OEM

[@Powershift]

I like the all red tail lamps. It's clean looking. That GT3 steering wheel and shift boot/knob made a huge difference too. That car is truly BADASS. Drive it, and enjoy it. You earned a reliable badass car.

[@Doshinkyo]

Love all of those mod's especially the steering wheel. Thats a "must do" on the 997!

[@Some1Casual]

I watch many car enthusiast/building channels, but not quite sure what it is, this video I really really enjoyed and I can feel the authentic happiness while you were doing all these mods. Well done bud!

[@CRE8TEDbyGod]

Hands down one of the best cars ever made, and you have killed it on the tasteful changes and dialing it in. Super happy for you to have such a sweet ride!

[@krisklemick697]

Awesome job! Excellent upgrades. Love it!

[@whobroughtdude2231]

Love it. Rebuilding my 996 and these episodes always give me motivation.

[@TheRvg03gt]

Bro. I absolutely love the 911.. if I built one it would be like yours(except the red tails.. led looks better imo..) lol congratulations on sticking with it. Great series!!

[@prod.bydarkside]

You can put red foil on the white part of the taillights and after that put light smoke foil on the whole taillight. Thats what I did and it looks perfect for me.

[@jimmysmith230]

Your car is perfection. Never sale it this you will regret. Keep the content coming I really look forward to the next one. Thanks for the channel.

[@williamcalia2465]

Finally finished. It turn out absolutely beautiful. Enjoy the ride. Happy Motoring!

[@MrKenn93]

Absolute perfection, congrats! 👏

[@danielburbridge932]

That Porsche looks awesome man. Definitely suits you, especially seeing you cruising around with your hat on backwards. Handsome dude!

[@ctvette1318]

Car looks sick Lee!! Excellent job!

[@viruxsolutions5990]

what a sick build. loved following along.

[@patrickthiele7969]

Looks great. My two cents on additional mods - tint the LED tail lights red, paint the roll cage to match the car, paint the wheels bronze.

[@jpayan1694]

Absolutely love this car! Gotta keep the 997.2 taillights on tho. They’re a necessity

[@syygnis]

Badass. No other description. 997 (any model) is EASILY my favourite model of Porsche.

[@b20uno]

Loved every episode of this build. You guys are doing amazing work - hope you enjoy her for many years to come. Air cooled next?

[@vics.diecast.garage]

Absolutely my favorite build🔥🔥🔥🔥 Love this Porsche!!!

[@user-fj2ed4wo3b]

a really great effort. I have really enjoyed watching the progession.Its inspired me to do a bit more with my own tt.well done. I would like to see an in depth road test

[@lumin9ry]

been watching this build from the beginning, since your channel was still pretty small. it came out even better than I expected - this is pretty much my dream turbo too, lol. PLEASE make at least another 1 or 2 vids with this car, even if you don't touch the build just a roughly edited compilation of driving footage would be amazing

[@jesselaporte7184]

When you rolled back to yard the wheels paired up soooo well with the night headlights. Such a clean car 👍🏼👍🏼

[@davidgough7382]

Outstanding car... very tasteful!!! love the wheel/tire combo. the gloss is spot on!!!

[@projectssap1]

This is my fav 997 build on the internet!

[@JohnKaufmann]

So beautiful. Very nicely done.

[@Celana1]

Would like to see any or all of the following, twisty Canyon driving, highway racing, dragstrip to name a few

[@rajcam80]

I have been watching since the beginning. Congrats guys!

[@tonyjdai]

Great job - super jelly!! The PPF is the cream on top, no doubt about it. I would love to see this car run on Dragon Road like your eBay Motors tour. Keep up the amazing work with your even more amazing crew.

[@strongerandwiser2023]

Steering wheel is nuts! Love it

[@JustMeinYoutube]

You should keep it and do more content with it! I.e. pccm+ update, climate control upgrade to that of a 997.2… I’m so jealous of your OEM carbon hood! I want one!!! 😝 I can’t believe I’ve been following your progress in this car for a year and a half! Wow 😮

[@ninefourteensix]

Cool video and build. I actually like the original style tail lights but similarly I ditched the 'triangle' steering wheel, put in a Numeric shifter and swapped wheels (BBS) among other things. One of the great things about the 997TT is it's a stout platform to personalize and customize and (still) has a lot of aftermarket and community support.

[@johnbeyer791]

I’m glad you brought the saga of the turbo to a beautiful conclusion! I can’t help on the taillights, I like them both. In six months when you change back to the originals do a video and I’ll make a final decision! Love your vids, keep it up.

[@dv6195]

Yall did great the car looks great and look like a new Porsche.Led tail lights with a little tint I think would look good too

[@fcampojr]

Coincidentally, your dream build 911 is my dream build 911!!! Awesome job guys, definitely do it again!

[@ProducerSikste]

from my ❤ i wish you safety my Bud!! Great building!!! I love that Model!!!! ✊🏼 Good work!!!

[@nickfraser8901]

I’m glad you went with the headlights I mentioned to you last year😉,the whole car looks superb now😀👍

[@ttmezger]

Are those headlights OEM, maybe 997.2? It wasn’t clear on the video.

[@nickfraser8901]

Yes there 997.2 headlights. Easy replacement but they need abit of PIWI’s coding so there’s no error codes👍

[@martinblanco7899]

This is my fav KZbin channel 🔥

[@mrbreathtaker7031]

Yoooooo the end this car looks sooo beautiful

[@splitRace]

Here from Brazil and I complete in love whit your channel.

[@scraplifefernando]

PERFECTO!💯

[@kiwihame]

Great work. The car looks amazing! Love the Porsche content. And I'm a red tail light fan. The LEDs look cheap and ricer. As do the exhausts!

[@bmc5108]

Full red, it makes a solid visual against the black. The white bit in the led taillights breaks it up. Beautiful!!!! Drive it. Please pronounce the last ‘e’ if you love her, she deserves it.

[@circutr2080]

So happy for you bro you did that!!!!!!! Well you and your team but congrats!!!!🎈🎊🎉🍾

[@808SSCamaro]

Nice Brother! Guessing it's time to sell something and get a different dream car rebuilt. Thanks for sharing! Take care!

[@user-fk8ri7vm6v]

Beautiful car great upgrades excellent job

[@adamheck3013]

First time I’ve ever seen your channel and I gotta say, great build and great video, I’ll definitely be coming back

[@31186dan]

Gorgeous car! I like the all red tails, keep ‘em on!

[@jasonyoung3690]

I'm usually not a Porsche guy, but this one is DOPE!

[@tomw6719]

That car looks amazing!!

[@kbaez]

Lets see a full highend fancy fancy video shoot with this thing. Give it a proper send off! I jumped on the sub wagon because of this build. You guys are great! Keep it up!.

[@Hazeoflemons]

Definitely a dream car! The 997 specifically and this is built awesome

[@fire_breathing_hamster]

Beautiful car my friend. Congratulations

[@seregriddy7928]

Pov video with the 911 for sure, that would b a sick flick

[@user-bn4yu1ys5q]

Watched the whole build, the car came out amazing!! Looks beautiful and sounds mean as hell. Love all of the upgrades you did. I had that steering wheel in my Cayman and yeah the newer ones are so much better looking. I think I lean towards the led tailights or even a set of 997 gts tailights, those still look good. BBS style wheels always look great on Porsches too. Only thing I would do is put Porsche center caps on the wheels What is the final HP number?

[@OneBitStream]

Looks great!

[@eduardojimenez7595]

Great work man

[@edwinblack-rw5xk]

Congratulations! What a stunning car.

[@petrolheads6328]

car looks amazing,love the deep purple colour

[@jamesgordon7608]

The ppf absolutely makes the car pop complete gloss. Fantastic by that shop. Tail lights right choice. I would love a gunmetal bronze color rim. Front bumper and side marker lights a dark amber. No green hulk stickers on side rear window or make them a shade darker British green. Nothing wrong with car the ppf makes it pop and tail lights give it a clean look.

[@45JS]

Holy crap, the gloss hood is incredible, only thing I would change is the caliper color but that’s me being so picky lol

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Congrats. It looks gorgeous. But, maybe its the audio and how it picks up but Im not crazy about the sound. Sure, Im used to V8s but it sounds way too much like my Cherokee XJ (not claiming its as fast..err slow. Mine tops out at 50ish lol but on any terrain. Though the V8 cars are another ball park lol) But, looks wise. Im in love with that look. Its beyond words. Congrats and here's to many miles in it!

[@sannemwf3779]

What a beauty!

[@rickydshow1]

Oh you killed it, awesome

[@garagecrass2468]

Awesome build! It’s exactly how I would’ve wanted to build a 997 Turbo.

[@jayjonas]

What an utterly amazing car. Congratulations

[@ajmiami9990]

Love the car. I been on the channel a while before this car. Love all the builds .

[@PhillipTieuChainz]

congrats on finishing the build. Very nice! Maybe Indecent 991 next?

[@derrecksmith7898]

I’ve been with you since the beginning !!! I even as buying another Porsche to match that one and the same color. Yup!

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

Woah, it looks completely updated and crispy new

[@alexandermcalpine6826]

Minted car mate ,well done 🤝

[@gregoryfranks7347]

what a difference those camber plates make. i hated thinking that it just killed a sweet car before. just adjusting the offset and camber its nasty A.F.!!!! so sick. i'll drive it if you do like it sitting. id be happy too!! cheers been here since we talked about baltimore and my bros 993 turbo. epic build!!

[@brianhimmelman420]

outstanding Turbo and mods

[@WayApp]

Astonishing

[@user-yf7rt2pz2u]

I like the rear oem lights good adjustment ! It’s the little things . Some led aftermarket units look cheap tacky gawdy and out of place just put leds bulbs in it. It just looks pure , being a car guy it’s common to go with trends and practices but nothing wrong with retaining original charm to the car retro it out as I said before find good consistent leds bulbs for the red tail lamps it’s Porsche it’s cool it og

[@Bamcsorley1]

Those new headlights do look fantastic wow

[@apb38]

I agree with the gloss. Car looks minted. Those vents above the rear wheels should match the hood IMO and those calipers should be colored something other than silver, your choice. Something exotic like neon royal blue or something.

[@thatguyoverthere957]

The only thing to do now is get another Porsche 911 and do it all over again. Loved this series (and the Cayman). Thank you!

[@talltexan4710]

Great video. Keep it up.

[@robertcrowther1547]

I love the gloss on the roof and hood without question when it comes to look. You are dead on with the color. But I think you should wrap it Laguna Seca blue.

[@robinsheldon899]

Awesome build - congratulations, and thank you. Just one tiny thing.....the Porsche logo on the wheel hubs would really round things off.

[@markwarren7959]

I'm diggin' the red taillights. They seem to flow better with the body curves.

[@adamward9627]

Car is f-ing sick! Congrats

[@DailyReel]

I saw that 96-00 honda civic coupe. Looks like an em1. It's pretty schweet. Mine 21.00

[@fwhiteification]

I love this 911 and color and mods you f**king crushed it with this one ☝️

[@LilSnooze]

This build is amazing, unique, tasteful and truely custom to your liking.

[@NoOneForNow1]

Apart from the taillights..

[@oliverradcliffe7974]

Updating the plastic center console I think is the biggest change in the 997 interior in terms of making it feel more up market.

[@kingrabbit101]

This is the car that made me start watching your channel. Popped up in my feed. Then i stayed. Crazy how long its been lol.

[@liamegan4303]

Hi Lee. Happy New Year fromIreland again lol. Wow you did a beautiful job on the Porsche. I'm not sure about the Tail lights. The one's that were on it were nicer I think. But thats Minor. Lovely steering wheel, it's made such a vast difference bro. Well done Mate. Now whats next? 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮
