Splash guards from Tommy Garage. Super easy install, they look great, you can hardly notice them in person and fit awesome. I have the entire car wrapped with XPEL, but hoping these will help with the crappy roads and gravel we have around Texas. Highly recommend them and waiting for him to develop a set for the rears since that gets blasted the most so far.

I say 'visibly' of interest because I could not identify a complete list of possible functions for the GT4/Spyder

If others confirm the app allows for exhaust valve control and auto start/stop deactivation . . . well, the company stock will shoot up overnight

I am sure others will share whether the aforementioned functions are available, as well as others of potential interest

New cables for my trickle charger because I'm an idiot. I did what I never thought I would do...I drove off with my trickle charger still connected in the footwell. The quick connect plug was inside the car In my defense, it was a 6am, pre-coffee start

OK, so I didn't buy it, but...

My brother and I had the love of things mechanical in common, and I kept telling him that he and I should get new Porsches at the same time. It was in my long range budget

I had actually talked myself out of buying any new car again, much less a Porsche, but, once I lost my brother, I kept coming back to the Porsche books he and my sister-in-law got me. I decided I would do it for the both of us. It was amazing, but, honestly, something was missing.

My brother was stationed in Bitburg, Germany when I visited him in Europe. I loved that trip. For those who don't know, "Bit" is short for Bitburger beer, and "Bitte ein Bit" means "one Bitburger beer please". People from that area would have that decal on their car, and my brother was one of them. It was on his latest sports car.

Recently I found out that a co-worker's husband was in the Air Force stationed at Bitburg the same time I visited in 1990. Of course I brought up "Bitte ein Bit" for fun, and she knew exactly what it was. The next day she brought in a surprise for me - a "Bitte ein Bit" decal her husband wanted me to have. I couldn't believe it.

My wife is still in shock that I put a sticker on it, but now my car is complete with an homage for my brother.

Don’t all German engineers shout “nein!” at their computers all day anyway? Nein, nein, nein, nein!!!! I thought Herman Cain was a German engineer with his 9, 9, 9 plan.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Nice!! It will sound like a proper GT car!

If you don't mind me asking. Where did you get the JCR kit from, and did you take it to a shop/dealer for the installation?
