Yesterday I had the wheel studs, SS brake lines and SOUL Delete Pipes installed. I only have the center stripe left to install.

I purchased this too and I’m happy with it… although the black Spyder is a little difficult to see. I sorta wished I went Silver, but oh well.

I subsequently ordered a plate with the Spyder in Miami Blue - the lead time on these is pretty long... but worth the wait I think!

I have the one on the right. I’ve used it on my 991.2, 992, and will use it on the Boxster. I have thrown it in the washing machine, too, so it’s held up nicely.

I had forgotten to get this, thanks for the reminder.

95 days until my arrival date. I bought the Obsessed Garage Premium Active VE52 kit, and it arrived a few weeks ago. I've been washing everything quite often (good news is we no longer have 4 cars to wash!), so it will take a bit less time.
I did end up snatching up some used JCR Manifolds for it. It will be cold in MN when it arrives, but I'm hoping to get a few hundred miles in if the leaves are still on the trees given how unseasonably warm it has been so far this year. Maybe install them over the winter time to help pass the winter blues.

I’ve read about the DCS Controller and see a number of people recommend adding it. I watched the video and it looks to be an incredibly easy install. It seems the biggest improvement is in the Spyder/GT4, and wonder how much improvement a GTS owner can expect.

I've heard that the DCS comes with the GT/Spyder rebound and such, and it's more compliant over bumps. I agree it will be interesting. It's on my list, but we'll see how I like the SPASM first off. I'm tempted to just go Ohlins, but I do want to give these a chance. It will probably work great in the interim while the warranty is still in play.
