Realized that I was saving a whopping $150 to not have collision insurance on the car for winter storage for 4~ months. So much savings.

So I put insurance back on it and will drive whenever it happens to be a dry day over 50 degrees with no road salt residue on the pavement.

I'm guessing he probably wanted to save $80

nothing wrong with a little DIY project

He definitely saved the $ - I had left over pieces from the sheet I bought and gave it to him.
Also I bought a perforated hex shaped opening mesh which has more open area rather than the expanded metal looking (diamond shaped opening) so as not to diminish air flow more than necessary.

I think that Saphire Blue is a stunning color on a Cayman for some reason.

I have Lapis on mine and people compliment the color all the time when I drive it.
I put a single pic in the GT4 Picture thread...my first ever!!

Default Recorded Sounds & Data of New GT Exhaust Mod
Over the last 5 days baby doll has been getting LOTS of attention.

Wednesday: She got the GT Exhaust Mod with new Fabspeed XPipe Exhaust Tips. What a diff!
Saturday: Got her usual touchless power-wash foam bath and complete rub down with P&S Beadmaker.
Sunday (yesterday): Session #1 capturing audio & video recordings of the new GT Exhaust Mod. For this Cold Start video:

OK.. so I'm a little OCD!!

Nice, but you should record/measure it outside of the garage. That will change the sound a ton.

your floor look amazing. I need to coat mine. Can you tell us what kind of coating it is? By the way you did a great job on those meshes. Always satisfying to do it yourself.

Took my Spyder (along with buddy's GT4) up to north Georgia and carved up some amazing roads. Here's a shot from Hogpen Gap.
