another CL related question. I swear somewhere I saw the CL thread pitch/size listed, but I can't find it now. Does anyone know what it is? I think its a non-standard thread form as well. presumably the folks who make the aluminum rods that thread in to protect calipers know..

I bought my 2010 GT3 recently from Porsche of North Scottsdale. Could I simply go to my local Porsche dealership and have them tell me if the recall is necessary and if it was done, or should I contact the dealership that I purchased the car from maybe? I did import the car into Canada, and no recalls were found during that process, but I don't trust it implicitly. Thoughts?

I called PNA when I bought mine about two months ago. They have all the updated info.

I would have the dealer check. Ironically, out of nowhere yesterday, my dealer called me to tell me that there was a recall on the rear hubs and they need to be replaced. Not totally clear how they surfaced that.

On a different topic, noticed you have the yellow tint on your headlights. Wanted to do that, but was concerned about diminishing road visibility and potentially running into state inspection issues. What has your experience been?

WELL. Firstly, I do not see very much diminished output. Maybe slightly. It helps MY eyes pick up things easier at night. In CA we are allowed two colors of headlights. White or Yellow. Your state may be different. Go to your DMV site and see what it states
