My car is officially done for the Winter and on its way back to Bremen. So far the wish list includes a hydro clutch, CNC pedals and driving lights. Cannot wait until March until I can drive her back then the countdown begins to Carlisle.

You south side Chicago guys have it made with this pick-up service!
Missed this. Joe, nice upgrades. I would ask if the CNC pedals come with the Rubber grommets like mine. They are lightweight and comfortable (not slippery). I love them. My car is sleeping now for the Winter.
Marty your pedals are the look I am going for. Also borrowing your machal light look, painting the back half to match the body color. Hoping we have a mild winter again and get her back in March.

Terry, Porsche Rennline pedals. Not 100% sure and pedals arms. Intermeccanica uses a 356 Style arms that come out of the floor.
Damn Marty, those are nice! Just when I thought I've done everything that I could possibly want to my car, you have to go and throw out another idea! I think I'll hold off on this one for awhile, though :-) I like the way your installation looks, but I love the look of this with the metal backing plate and metal dead pedal. Do your pedals have the red bits to help facilitate heal toe?
Joe,
Yes, our CNC pedal covers have the rubber anti-slip domes like pictured. Ours are a different shape pedal than Marty's but very similar overall.
That's what I was hoping for Carey. What are the chances you can match the dead pedal as well. 
Wet clutch and pedals going together.
Pretty sweet...Joe and Carey! Don't lose that recipe, Carey.
Speaking of winter upgrades, can anyone provide guidance on the proper mounting of original Porsche NOS headlight mesh screens?
These are NOT the clip-on-behind-the-headlight-chrome-trim-ring version. Rather, they are mounted at 10 and 2 o'clock on the chrome trim ring with screws with machined, knurled knobs, as well as a third mounting tab at 6 o'clock which mounts to the existing headlight tab at the bottom. This places the screen about 1/2" off the headlight glass, not right on the glass.
So the question is, anyone have guidance in placement of those two upper screws or do I just "dry-place" the screens, measure twice and do the best I can??
Thanks, big guy - I thought it would mount something like that. Between the continuing cold weather, an unheated garage and a short, medical relapse I probably won't be getting to them for a few weeks, but they look pretty straightforward. Drilling the holes will probably be the hardest part.
I bumped into an old friend from work recently who now has a "small", 14-car barn, housing among other things his LeMons BMW 328i, his mid-2000 GT-3 and his slightly older RSR. Makes me wonder if I should have kept working.......
Like those pedal covers. Marty, I would wager that Henry used a 911 pedal cluster on your car, looks like it to me. And the aluminum cover by Rennline looks like for a 911 too.
Carey:
Thanks for the info/help. Side "A" took about a day (a lot of that time was figuring out how to get a drill started on a hardened, compound curved surface w/o screwing it up) with a lot of trial-and-error (lots of error) til I figured out how to make everything even.
Side "B" took less than an hour. Now I have stainless hardware everywhere, AND the headlight-to-body o-rings cooperated and didn't fight me going back on.
I still seriously need a heated garage here, though. Along with generally cleaning this one up....
Those look great!
Just got these from Carey, the dead pedal is a 911 Rennline throttle pedal that he made brackets for. Marty thanks for the inspiration!
And for safety the CHMSL has been installed.
Maybe it's too early in the am (it's 7:00 here on the wet coast)- CHMSL?
It is the third brake light (Center High Mounted Stop Lamp), he mounted it under the grill.
Nice Joe! That dead pedal is going to come in handy in May.
I'd kill for a dead pedal on long drives.
So......make one!
About 45 minutes with a sawzall and grinder and you, too can have a dead pedal!
Gordon, you've shamed me into making one this Spring.
A couple of years ago I took my IM on a three day cruise-about 6-7 hours driving each day. When I finally parked the car at the end of each day my left leg/knee was sore as hell.
Fog lights are painted, front end resprayed, speedo calibrated to MPH and the odd and ends being wrapped up in the next couple of weeks. Now I just need decent weather to drive her home.
Carey Hines stikes again. My idea paint the rain hats, he had them made in carbon fiber.
Cool, now you can paint them black 
Car is being put back together, the excitement is building.
What color is your car?
James, are you going to make Carlisle this year?
I would love to go but, I not sure about putting that many mile on her. So is am thinking no.
James, life's short. I have 13.5K miles on my 2010, so far. I will drive her until the engine blows up, then I'll get another engine, repaint her and keep driving some more. She will probably outlive me because all of her parts are easily repaired or replaced unlike mine (unless we both go out in a blaze of glory together). You won't regret going to Carlisle on your deathbed, but you might regret not going :-).
I have over 37k miles on my '06. The annual Carlisle trip is one of the high points of the year. You WILL enjoy it.
At this point I am shooting for the 19th, excitement is building just need the weather to cooperate.
My winter planning.........
It is going to be 46 and breezy, but I just cannot wait any longer. Heading to Bremen where my car is ready and waiting.
Wish me luck, damn madness.
