I never heard of this and just looked it up. How does it attach? Anypermemnet changes?

I always carry a Hydro Flask on the passenger seat that invariably ends up rolling around on the passenger floor - not very elegant or convenient.

BTW, I had my Radenso Pro M MirrorTap (I use a Blendmount off of the RVM) hardwired by an audio shop that started off as an auto upholstery shop. They went under the head console without cutting, under the headliner and down the pillar into the main fuse box. Absolutely removable without any detection. The detector turns on when the key is turned and off with the key too - no five minute delay. It took about 90 minutes and $100, and I'm very satisfied.

There is a flat piece of stainless steel that fits between the carpet and the center console. No permanent change. I positioned mine so that the bottle sits on the floor for maximum stability. Highly recommended!

What am I missing?
To complete the loop, my 2019 CGTS without navigation but with CarPlay was built in April 2019. I pulled the fuse in the rear hatch area (passenger side) per directions on a thread on 718Forum. My Bluetooth works and when I plug my phone into the console jack, Apple CarPlay works. My phone can dial and receive calls. No issues with pulling the rear hatch fuse have been reported on the 718Forum.
I believe you pulled the wrong fuse.

A Hydra ECU tune will fit real nice in that initial list of mods - that's how you can really wake these cars up!

Interesting that the S tunes show a greater HP and torque increase than the GTS tunes.

That is the same with the 991.2 platform. Usually cars that start off with more power from the factory have smaller deltas when it comes to power gains. The software is really what levels the playing field. Mod-for-mod, the GTS will still ultimately be faster, but not by much.

I’ll go first with mine:

1) Paint Correction & Xpel Ultimate Plus full car wrap STAT
2) Houndstooth/Pepita carbon fiber bucket seat inserts
3) Clear Side Markers
4) Wheel Stud Conversion
5) Brake Caliper Stud Conversion

Please make any recommendations or post up your list as well!
excuse my ignorance, but what’s the benefit of the wheel and brake caliper stud conversion?

I have done zero at 3500 miles.

Maybe winter tires and wheels count.

i think PPF is the only thing I maybe regret. Guess I will have a patina!

The wheel studs make it faster and easier to swap wheels.

How big of a deal was the GT4 diffuser conversion?
