Just a quick comparison to the H&R I run on my Audi's and I see no difference in material quality. I've run the H&R for years with zero issues.

Here is the one I purchase that is on Prime Day right now. I will be doing a review in a few days, but so far I really like it. I would say the app works best with iOS so far.

New Peak Desgns iPhone vent mount. This thing is awesome and solid. Two contact points on the vent including a hook that cinches down. Fully adjustable to move the phone in any direction for your best solution.

@Adrift I had the Porsche charger but it wouldn't stay connected all the time. I swapped it out for the CTEK 5.0 MXS and it stays connected without any issues. I connect it to the passenger side footwell with the cig lighter port.

The MXS 5.0 is one of the units I have as well, and I can confirm that it always stays connected.

I bought my CGTS4.0 new tires (well, slightly used tires). Finally got Michelins on my baby. I must admit that I have been neglecting my favorite car (shh, don't tell the others) and giving my attention to the newest addition, my 911T. And while the 911 to me is possibly the sexiest, longest running, and most iconic looking car, I do still think I prefer the Cayman for it's size, amazing NA engine (both power and sound), the better 6spd manual, and the amazing weight balance.

Tomorrow, weather permitting, I will saddle up the 718 and then... WE RIDE!

I ordered my CGTS with the GTS interior, which comes standard with carbon fiber trim. I didn't like the silver trim bars in the hatch area, but wasn't willing to shell out nearly $500 to get the GT4RS trim bars. So I ordered some 3D-effect carbon fiber wrap from Amazon and pulled out an old can of Plasti-Dip from my cabinet, and voila! It turned out better than I had expected.

looks great. Perhaps you should consider the plasti-dip on the seat backs as well
