Ya, part of me just wanted a refund. I was able to find a used set, with 500 miles on them, but the guy wanted $6k USD plus shipping. All in with this, I wound up at about $6300 USD.

Ordered the GT4 side scoop kit from Suncoast and an oil change kit.
Going to have a few upgrades stockpiled over the winter to make this car perfect for Summer 2024

It’s a great looking hood. I personally love the blue stripe. The all black hood look looks unfinished to me.

By “functioning brake ducts“ I assume that you’re referring to the naca ducts that are halfway up the hood. Can you take a photo of where the ducts connect to?

Sorry for the delay - Rennsport Reunion today. The piping below the hood is exactly the same as the GT4RS and uses OE parts from Porsche. It does require some modifications to the existing battery cover, but you can also just go buy a GT4RS cover if you don't want to modify it.
You can see what it looks like below. The duct work directs air to an outlet pointing right at the brake rotor. Sorry I don't have a picture of that now.

Bought a slightly used Rennline phone mounting bracket (half the price of new), paired with a MagSafe wireless magnet charger.
Install took 5-10 mins, and left me wondering why I waited so long to make this move. I previously had a vent mount which blocked the entire vent when my phone connected 100% of the time.
There’s an image within the image, if you can spot it.

Realized just how bad my heat cycled out cup 2's were in cooler (low 60's) weather by attempting to merge into traffic and the car went sideways like it was on ice. I guess 16 autocrosses and 2x 7 session track days were enough lol
Ordered these PS4S for street and maybe some wet track use. Most expensive set of tires I've ever purchased but apparently they live up to the hype. Will have some dedicated autocross/track wheels and tires coming later also.

Remember this really good deal I got from Porsche on a full wheel package? Well they arrived, but only the rims LOL. The parts guy completely f***ed up, even though I asked him twice to confirm the deal was tires, sensors, rims, balanced, mounted. He didn’t argue, but clearly was mislead by the internal system somehow. So he was pretty embarrassed and I said I’ll likely take a refund, then they added the caps, sensors, mounting, balance, and shipping to my door if I bought the tires at their cost. So I did, and ordered Alpin PA4 winter tires. So I won’t have an extra set of summer tires as I’d hoped, but now I won’t have to buy winter tires next year. I still came out ahead by about $1500 CDN over an assembled set (individually).

The dealer claims that Porsche doesn't communicate the dealer-supplied options to the dealer, even though they had the build number, which included the options. I found that hard to believe. But perhaps it's true?
