DE is typically a lot looser regulations but it doesn't hurt to check with your DE org if they have any recommendations or requirements.

Silly Question. How do I remove the gauge rings? Do they unscrew or pop off? I want to replace my rings with some nice Rennline ones.

The gauge rings are crimped to the gauges themselves. Are you sure you need to remove the existing ones to add the others? I've seen some where they are applied over the top of the existing rings. When I read the Rennline website, it says that double sided adhesive is included.

Rob,

Did realize they fit on top. That does make it easy to install. Thanks.

I have two targa parts labeled "left" and "right". I'm 99.9% sure I know which way they're supposed to go based on their form, BUT I want to confirm, mostly for future reference, when Porsche says LEFT does that mean the driver's side or passenger side?

Depends if it's a right or left hand drive 911 . But in all situations I have run across it's always relative to the direction you face when driving. So left is drivers side in the US but passenger side in the UK.

Thanks; what was throwing me through a loop is that the peices seem designed to go one way, but per the left/right and part number orientations go the other way. Can't make heads or tails of it, so it's going to a professional to do.

Btw, I'm FINALLY installing my d.moris hard top!

what is the thickest spacer I can safely put on my rear wheels? I don't want to have to change to longer studs if I can help it.

According to Adrian's book, the max is 5mm without changing to longer studs.

That would bring my offset to 53mm on a 10" wide wheel. Which brings me to my next question and will that fit?

Depends on your ride height and tire size

There's a cap that you can flip forward at the base of the wiper arm, that will revel the bolt that is used to hold it on the wiper motor.

A buddy of mine - with lots of skills - removed his passenger wiper and motor assembly. Looks very clean.



My, much simpler R Gruppe method.

Cool! And the below looks baller. Can you replace the cap after pulling it forward to cover the threaded hole? The cap is plastic/rubber, correct and I just peel it forward like?
