Ordered an indoor car cover from Suncoast for my Boxster 25. Yeah it is hibernation time in NH.
Also, after reading the numerous threads on aftermarket exhausts including the excellent thread started by metalone, I ended up ordering a BC Fabs valved exhaust in SS. $ 4k. I didn’t want to swap out the OAPs and this cleverly designed rear box seemed like the best option for me right now.
Benjamin was very responsive in answering my questions and threw in free shipping. Looking forward to the noisemaker.

Oh nice!
I also considered the BC exhaust! I think for those not interested in doing OAP's it's a superb option!
Yeah same here - mine is in hibernation now too... MN winters are rough.
They have just completed the project and these are the only pictures so far. I hope to get more soon.
I bought the GT4 spoiler from Frog Venom overseas. I specifically bought it because it was the only one that I could find that had the GT4 OEM shape and height plus it would allow the the raising mechanism to still work and was primered and ready to paint. Unfortunately it was not as ready to paint as I hoped and thought and needed a lot work to be ready for prime time. You can see more on my thread covering the project. There are pictures of a silver one in my thread below.

Thanks! Going to read through the thread. The Frog Venom one is also the one that caught my eye initially. Sad to hear it required a lot of work before it could be used.
So I bought this recently. I do most of my work on the ground and this tire lift looked pretty damn handy and robust. Allows you to lift the wheel off the hub and roll it away with minimal effort. I also bought the attachment that allows you to spin the wheel if necessary to line up the holes.
Long overdue PPF after screwing around with Track Armour for three years. Paint still in excellent condition and car (6 years old, 50 track days) still looks great.

Posted a bunch of hi res pictures of the completed car.

I'll report back once I've used it.
I'm in the same boat as you. What used to be easy in your 20's and 30's is definitely a chore in your mid-50's. Plus, cars and wheels/tires have gotten a LOT heavier over the years. I just rotated wheels on my wife's '23 BMW X5, and those were the heaviest that I've ever dealt with. Felt like they were 65 pounds per corner!
Anyway, let us know how this works for you. I looked at the demo video they have on the website, and it looks tempting. But, priced at nearly $250 with the roller option, it better be good!
I just saw that little product myself recently, I guess on Facebook. Looks really handy to be able to delicately raise the tire in place. Also helps prevent scratching the barrel of the rim on the rotors. Not only have wheels and tires gotten heavier, the brakes have gotten bigger so your margin of era is smaller.
Plus I work in a pretty small garage which doesn't help. Definitely. Please report back.
I had a lifted Jeep Rubicon on 35-in tires. You want to talk heavy?
