I quoted the wrong person the first time around, let's try this again:
Would you mind sharing the vendor and part # specifically for the shark blue key inserts? I've seen someone else on the forum find a set but they were not correctly compatible with a 718 GT4 key format; if yours are working, a share of the source would really be appreciated.

Hi - I ordered them directly from the OPC. Cost more than an eBay set, but I was happy to get OEM.
@lnirenberg interested what you think about the Falkens, and if any rubbing front or rear. Also, how much front camber and which plates (so I can take rubbing reports in context)? Ready to move on from Cup2 for moderate tracking, but no SC3R anywhere on the horizon.
Used the 3/4 spec for alignment. No rubbing on my street drive. I have not been blown away by the cup 2s on this car so I took a friends recommendation on the Falkens until/if SC3Rs ever show up.
I finally got around to install the BMC air filter that I got from newegg in the gt4. I know I am slow but could Porsche make it more of a pain? It took me 2.5 hours to change the air filter. The longest part was taking apart all the interior panels aft of the engine and putting it back together. Who would have thought that you have to remove the ecu to get to the filter. If you do change your filter, spend the money and get a life time filter. You don't want to do this job every few years. For my part I had to do it twice; I lost my 10mm socket behind the carpet. Of course, I only realized that after I buttoned everything up😬. Tempted to just leave it there since I have 6 10mm sockets😄😄😄

I considered this however it would just drive me insane thinking about all the filth and dirt and mold? hiding under the tiles. Do you wash inside your garage?
I do a lot of washing in mine, and in the winter months here there's a lot of nasty slush that come off the cars... I may go with some type of liquid art as a replacement of my current floor...
If the floor is sloped, it will continue to drain the way it always has with the tiles. I don't spray in my garage, but I do wash (and hose off outside the garage). All I've noticed is having to run a fan to keep air circulating as the garage dries out, otherwise there is s smell the next day.
My floor slopes towards the door, instead of a proper floor drain setup, so by the looks of it, I think you'd be fine with the tiles and washing indoors.

Be wary of the term “lifetime”. The filter element itself may be, but the rubber around it isn’t. Most people don’t keep their vehicles long term, but as part of my annual servicing of my BMW motorcycle with a BMC air filter, the rubber around it that makes the seal fell apart. It has been in my bike for 13 years. Not lifetime.
I need to replace Spyder interior trim pieces with black brushed aluminum, including the door trim on full leather. I see the center console piece and dash pieces for sale on SunCoast, but I don’t see the door trim piece being available. The only thing I’ve found is a carbon fiber “cover” which can be taped over the existing trim piece. Can anyone help me find black brushed aluminum door trim pieces?

TIA
my understanding is that door trim bits aren’t available through Posche’s parts department. Those bits are plastic-welded to the door panel. Swapping them out isn’t impossible, but it isn’t as straightforward as the other trim pieces.
Your best bet is eBay. however, my suspicion is that black brushed aluminum isn’t easy to come by.

So I managed to get the standard size fuse plug and tried the 5th open slot on row C, and 4th open slow on row D, but couldn't get the camera to power on.
I tried the other open slots and still got the same result
The black wire / ground was connected behind the washer / nut to the left of the fuse box. Not sure where the problem is and this is turning out to be harder than I originally thought, lol

If it helps here are my connections on the passenger side for my BlackVue. I forget which is switched and unswitched but can try to figure it out if needed. You can see the BlackVue Power Magic Pro tucked in at the bottom too. The ground is in the same spot as yours.
Oh, I see! You have to put fuses in the taps like I have. Without them you are not completing the circuit.
To get everything to fit into the box and the lid on, I had to flip the tap upside down so the wires point towards the top and the new fuses toward the right. Otherwise I'm using the same locations as in your first photos.

You have to put another fuse into the tap one like StormRune mentioned.
