Love it! I have the same pattern with orange/grey/black swatch, along with the Gulf Livery tartan en route to me to inspect up close. But I'm leaning hard Gulf tartan.

Man I bet that looks amazing. The quality is like OEM and the fitment is perfect. Easy installation. Just happy about everything.

Bought the CTEK MXS 5.0 for my Spyder. Got tired of the official Porsche branded charger not staying connected. The MXS is simple to just plug in and not do anything else.

Nice. Love the color. If your Sport Classic Gray Spyder is the one from Norwell, I had almost purchased it. Great color! Since you are in the Boston area, we should connect sometime to compare cars/mods and geek out on cars.

Just had my (new to me) JCR rolled exhaust tips recoated by Jet-Hot in satin black. Jet-Hot did a fantastic job - they look brand new now. Hopefully they’re more durable than the stock JCR finish that was a bit pitted from road and track use by the previous owner.

I’d love to be a third wheel at this get together.

Anyone get this from cimario? Slides between seat and console to give some storage.

In their previous state, the tips were black-ish. From online pics, they look dark black, but I suspect they might have faded slightly with use and perhaps a little oxidation.

Will do. Have the install scheduled in a couple of weeks.

Closest thing to somewhat keeping your wheels clean longer without CCBs.
Does anyone know if this is discontinued? Wal-Mart, AutoZone, PepBoys and Amazon all sold out. Saw it going for $25+ on eBay. Still listed on the ArmorAll site, but I can't find it anywhere.

I have these exact tips and need to do the same thing. The original finish doesn’t hold up well. Do you have contact I can use to send mine in for coating?

I spoke with Allyssa but I'm sure anyone can help you with a quote. Once they sent me the quote via email, shipping label and payment was handled online - which was nice and efficient. Here's their number: 800-432-3379
I paid ~$220 which included the cost for stripping the original finish + added cost for shipping to CA, fyi.
