Hello everyone,
As a new 968 owner, I just wanted to say hello. Sorry I wasn't able to make it out to Hershey this past weekend but I'm sure over the years I'll run into several of you.

Take care

Jeff, I am, and I did. I included all the options in the app.

Galva, my paint is doing quite well, but, keep in mind it was owned before me by Steve, who does amazing detailing work. To put it in perspective, in the picture I posted, the car is covered in pollen.

I'll have better pictures up when I can get some good sunlight, but here's the other photo I have on hand at the moment.
