I'll go first.

Bought a Rogue tuning kit and data logger to go with the M-tune system...and M030 front brake hoses and lines.

Go faster and stop faster goodies.

Gawd...I hope that light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train!

Go Jeff! Be sure to report on outcome of top project.

I didn't acquire anything but someone wants my batwing. How much should I get for it and be reasonable with a fellow 968 guy?

Will probably take SY car to Prescott event and hopefully "ARTCAR" to Tahoe event. Might take both to both if I have a co-driver.

Any one know a source for original glass? or does it even matter? Thanks

There is no aftermarket source for the windshields. The only windshields still in production are all 968 Cab ones, which have an integrated antenna. It doesn't affect anything on the coupes.

Prosourceglass offers the original Sekurit brand windshield which are proper 968 fitment but they do NOT have the factory Porsche stamp. They also have no antenna in the glass which is proper for the coupe.

Jeff recently installed the factory Sekurit glass with the proper Porsche stamp in minty.

Terrific Jeff thx.
I called prosourceglass today. He told me he has coupe glass, Sekurit OEM glass without antenna, and shaded top section w/seals. 425+ shipping.. I'm pysched.. I was worried.. It's weird, because my car is in FL and his shop is 20 miles from my home in Mass.. Thanks very much chudson for the referral

I have one of their windshields just in case I ever need one and these guys know how to ship glass. But again, their glass is a Sekurit but WITHOUT the factory Porsche insignia as seen in Jeff's pic. If you insist on the Porsche insignia you will have to purchase from a dealer and I don't know if the coupe specific glass is still available
