Congrats Jim. Let me know if you need anything in Htown including a place to store your car. What kind of wrap are you planning to put on your car? Will it be seeing a lot of track time?

CR looks great.

For my car, the Gear Shift Assist, G Force, Torque and HP graphs were enabled during PDI.

Zip tie rear brake ducts?

Oh I see they can fall off bc they are the lowest point of the car. Ordered some zip ties haha!

The black washers look good if you cant get them changed out.

Thanks every one for all the kind words. I am already over the headlight washer thing. If they get me them from the factory, "great", but if they want their body shop guy to paint them just prefer the credit and keep them, as is.

Thanks for the offer- I will be in Houston on business the week of 5/9 and will be there on 5/10 when the Trucker is scheduled to pick her up and ship to Chicago. Immediately She will be getting 3M Crystalline 40 tint, paint correction, Xpel on the whole front, side mirrors, and the whole rocker panel.- may skip the headlights because have never had any chips/pits on previous Porsches. If I get one then I will install. Then they will be apply 2 coats of Cquartz.

I have a Braille lithium battery going in for a 25lbs savings. I am obsessed with reducing weight on her. She has the LWBs and PCCBs. I have ordered the FVD LT Headers and sport cats which after 500 miles will be going on. I will also know after the first 50 miles if I will order an exhaust. If decide to go with valves will probably go with Fabspeed and if decide no valves will go with the FVD Sound version w/o valves( combined with their header it is 25lbs less than the stock set up)- so aside from the LWBs/PCCBs(~60 lbs diet) I can get another 50 lbs reduced from her.

Great plan. Let me know if you have time for coffee or lunch that week? I had FVD race exhaust system on the GT3. Would like to compares notes/expectations. Just found out that my car is on the Dover Highway & is scheduled to dock in Htown on 5/6. I had no idea & I'm jacked
