Default I had the car and camera out today......

I am not a big fan of car bra's but I have driven enough to know that in winter and early spring a little protection can go a long way. This is the carbon fiber effect. I cut out an opening for the crest as I cannot accept the look without it.

I was also able to install my new aluminum pedals. The dead pedal is not ,ounted yet. I will need to spend extra time on it. I ran out of patience in the cold weather so it will get affixed next time around. I just want to share these pictures with my Porsche fans.

Man I cant wait to mount me new/used wheels.

BTW any of you guys like watches? I figured I would throw in a shot of my new Panerai watch. Man I love quality!

Heres a few shots from today......

Honestly I did not realize that. I did however, look at it both ways before I screwed it on.

I guess this leaves the question, with a EEE shoe does it matter? I kinda like having the wide side up.

LOL

The wider side of the gas pedal is intended to help you with heel and toe. The stock pedals on 911s are pretty bad in that regard. 944 are better.

Here's heel and toe in action

I've never understood Bras (not the car ones anyway).

You're tyring to prevent the car from stone chips, because they'll make the car look bad......so you put an ugly cover on the front which makes it look worse...

(I've never understood Bras) Me neither....not even the other kind!!

Nice Panerai, I love those suckers!! I've had mine for 4 years and I still get a big kick out of wearing it. Quality is all in the details!

What wheels did you get? Why weren't they on the car minutes after you got them home??

This is a great animation and a good illustration of how it's done!

I, however, have never seriously cultivated this technique. Always afraid of screwing up and mashing things.

Guess I'm not worthy to wear the logo...

I am rather adept at one-handing a bra, however.
On the car, of course.

Hey Brian,
Not only do you have great taste in cars, but I LOVE Panerai watches too!

I bought a bra for my Mustang GT a few years back....thinking that I'd save the paint from stone chips. I took it off a year or so later, only to find that the edges of the bra wore down the paint right down to the primer....which looked even worse than if I had a few stone chips....

Something to think about....

Good point skruggs... I have found that bras tend to act like sandpaper, equally abrasive across the entire section of the car that they cover... Another issue is paint fade over time.

Having weighed both options, I have now become very adept at filling in paint chips!

Nice ride, btw MassGuy... Enjoy it!

I am not a huge fan of bras either, The only reason its on is they sand the roads around here. Once the spring rolls around it will come off and be put away until next winter.

Sorry for those I have offended.
