Matt many of us sit down with a coffee and watch your videos, which have become very entertaining.We all forget so I just wanted to say on behalf of all of us a big Thank You.👍

[@matt13ross]

I appreciate that, thank you!

[@mattsmith6514]

I'm watching with a cup of tea because I'm British, but completely agree. Really enjoy your videos, Matt!

[@florider_hd]

nice work! id paintmatch the black ring around the headlights to the rest of the body

[@cm-ex8nb]

YES! Came here to say the same thing.

[@roberta701]

Beautiful car TBH IMO the yellow lighting hits better with that interior.

[@cortlundtowell5252]

Interior led lights is always a nice upgrade. that color white is better for monotone interiors imho. the terracotta pops better with a warmer light. if they make 4000-4500k led bulbs, it would be perfection and still pull of the updated look your going for. great job as always

[@GRAlexx]

Lights came out great! It’s a must on all my cars

[@brandonhackley7067]

I do the same thing to all my car, i love the look of the white leds in the inside

[@Andisilva88]

Im in love with this porsche. Looking awesome man

[@cristmh]

Good, solid and steady progress, Matt! Looking really good.

[@charless2684]

Starting to look amazing! I think you made the right colour choices. Will be very unique when it's done. BTW...You STOLE that m3! A paint job and a bit of maintenance and you're gonna love it.

[@matt13ross]

Most people think it ripped off lol

[@aaronf4201]

@@matt13rossnope. Steal. Can’t wait for more of it!

[@phillevin6651]

Looks great but as was said before, I’d change out the steering wheel. That wheel dates it

[@matt13ross]

Yes but that's WAY down the list

[@vartechinc]

Get the new Porsche retro radio with CarPlay.

[@matt13ross]

Yes!

[@Matador_matty]

Wheel choice has to be gold or bronze , but definitely 19’s if not keep the ones on there and do them over in a matte bronze 🥵

[@matt13ross]

I think I'd rather have 18s. Bronze is possible!

[@sutherlacd27]

​@@matt13rossI don't think 18s fit over the brakes on the 997

[@KB-cu1kj]

Nice lights. Good job. Enjoy the videos. Keep them coming.

[@blkphotobox]

Love the build Bro amazing work.

[@joncamilleri2172]

Matt, this has been an incredible journey watching you find your way with this epic build. You have done an amazing job and i enjoy every instalment. Top job.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks a ton!

[@adcampo7601]

Nice work. That thing is really coming together.

[@plus790]

No need to body-match the paint on the interior panels by the headlights. Looks fine in factory black.

[@jonasion]

Hi Matt, sure you thought about it already and plenty others suggested it: Let this channel be a Porsche restoration channel. Move the other content to a 2nd channel and build that out for the Beamers, the Audis and what not.

[@matt13ross]

My channel is way too small to have a second at this point lol.

[@hyslopboys9600]

Look at those 🌈 brand led bulbs.

[@biznatcho7]

I’m generally a fan of your builds (not you, truck) but I fear that these lighting “upgrades” will really cheapen the finished product. And I’m including the taillights, the cool white interior lighting, and the black ring on the headlights in my critique.

[@matt13ross]

What about the Morimoto Tails instead?

[@craftingmat5425]

4:40 OMG... Moving on by Gary Moore! What a song, I forgot about it for so long. Only this was already worth checking this one out! Wait - are your new lightbulbs literally gay? Pun aside... not sure about the LED lighting... it looks a bit "cold". You are done soon as it seems... every single vid of the 997 series (also 996 series) was soooo good! Like!!

[@matt13ross]

Haha. The classics. It's getting close! Lots of mods to follow though.

[@matteosardelli9502]

To get a very nice interior look I suggest installing a 991 steering wheel, the hub thread should be the same and they sell small harnesses to get the air bag and buttons to work

[@matt13ross]

Steering wheel eventually yes. But lots of other fixed first.

[@TheBhillegas]

I just did this over the weekend in my 997. Managed to short out the glovebox one though...

[@matt13ross]

Let common!

[@JeffreyAllen-p7x]

Thanks Matt, enjoying the journey, I look forward to every week to your progress…you inspiring, your close, congrats 🎉

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much!

[@4444Muzik]

It looks great 👍

[@R19Robbin]

Great work

[@lastlondon]

IMHO that white light makes it look cheap. You should have bought new interiors leds with 2700K colour (warm white). That white light makes it look like a neon lit MacDonald’s kitchen area.

[@MarquetteHockey18]

@lastlondon please show us on your 997. Also spell McDonald’s correctly 🤡

[@armandssakne1868]

I would go with bluetooth controlled ambient color system for the interior lightning.

[@hyslopboys9600]

McD’s ?? 😂😂

[@matt13ross]

I LOVE McDonalds!!!

[@Bnm-fk9fi]

That’s a bit harsh? Matt said he was going for a more modern look and I think he made it 😀

[@stewarthatshell7133]

Outstanding video. .... again TYVM

[@joenadel9924]

Love the build, but I can't stand the white LEDs on anything. Feels very commercial/cold/sterile. I am also a lamp>overhead light person - so just preference at the end of the day. 997 looks great though! Can't wait to see more of the build

[@matt13ross]

Fair enough! They look a lot better in person IMO.

[@rayvandervoort5164]

White lights make it look like a cheap sandwich shop.. and again, clean first upgrade later 😃

[@matt13ross]

What am I cleaning?

[@rayvandervoort5164]

Place for the headlights?

[@Rush_Subdivisions]

Buy yourself a set of puddle lights for the doors with the Porsche logo and crest. I added them to my 996 and Cayenne.

[@MikeBMW]

Nice, Matt! I love seeing this coming together with your vision at the outset! I replaced all of my interior bulbs on my e34 535 and it improved it immensely. Still, all of the work you've done is far and beyond ... Love it! :) Oh. yeah, the editing is still nonpareil!

[@matt13ross]

Thanks so much! Thankfully I enjoy editing lol

[@bondarp]

Looks great ❤

[@jpayan1694]

I need longer videos on this build 😢

[@matt13ross]

Maybe the next one?

[@charha01]

Great stuff. I updated the lighting on my 996 interior as well and it does make a difference. Are you going to do the same with the outside lights, like the side markers and license plate lights?

[@matt13ross]

Sure am!

[@rahoolthemexican]

I’m thinking 991.1 gt3rs crash car next would love to watch you working on one of them 👍

[@matt13ross]

Find me a cheap one!!!

[@rahoolthemexican]

I hear you trust me there all heaps cheaper there then they are in Australia , I get on the auction sites in the USA and salivate over what I would by and fix if I lived in the US lol

[@marklengal9990]

Looking awesome Matt.

[@matt13ross]

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi Matt. Great sounds, bro. I don't think you could have picked a better intior if you picked it at the factory 😅. Great job 👍 👋👋🇨🇮

[@matt13ross]

Thank you!

Two awesome cars, congrats.

[@matt13ross]

Thanks!

[@christopherlister8932]

Those led in highs are going to have a trash beam pattern unfortunately the chips need to be located facing 9/3 o’clock to be proper beam. Unfortunately these are the pitfalls with cheaper led that do not use a clockable base.

[@matt13ross]

Meh well shall see!

[@christopherlister8932]

@@matt13ross love the builds though man good work 👍

[@atrain132]

Good job with the updated lighting. It was kind of gay...

[@FL981S]

I know you're going enjoy driving this one. Black rings on the headlights is choice. There must be a reason you have popped the rear quater glass in, seems like a 10 minute job.

[@matt13ross]

Waiting on some other parts to put those in.

Hi Matt Respect for all your work. Maybe it would like look more modern, if the back covers of your seats are in the same color as the car is.

[@matt13ross]

That's a thought I had too!

[@MatTheDragon]

🔥🔥

[@srwilliams1963]

I replaced my 928 lights with LED's, did you have low voltage errors. I did with my taillights.

[@matt13ross]

No errors that I've seen

[@marklengal9990]

Matt. Does the new LED lights come with the resistors? I tried to do this on my GMC duramax and they kept dimming unless I hit the rear over head light switch. Apparently they require resistance.

[@matt13ross]

I think they have chips built in. I've had zero issues with the 996 or 997.
