how were you able to add these 2 bolts on the rear reinforcement brace. I did this installation and I do not have wholes to fit bolts on the car as you did there. The brace has bolt, but the area under the car it meets does not have any. Thanks

The newer pans for the 718’s have the holes but it is easier and cheaper to drill the two holes in the existing panel.
Jim Drilled holes in existing panel
What Jim said^^. W/o removing the panel the options are a right angle drill or you can get an idea on where to drill from below using a c-clamp, then w/ the same process, start w/ a pilot hole.
TBotD was a bit underwhelming for me honestly, especially since you have to monitor opposing traffic diligently. Evidently no one pays lane discipline any mind lo.
Did you happen to make it over to KY and hit the Slayer or Appalachian Autobahn? Great roads!
So, exactly what is "The Back of the Dragon"? Sounds like a marketing ruse to me...
It's a road from Marion, VA to Tazwell, VA. There are a number of Dragon roads in the Appalachian-ish region. Head, Back, Tail. There may be more, iirc. It's been around for years, but recently they modeled it after the ToD with photographers and whatnot. They did add a brewery at the store, which is nice, but not a great mix with spirited driving lol.

Went to the Checkeditout Chicago car show yesterday. https://checkeditout.cc/ Almost 350 cars were featured at this exclusively Porsche event. Everything from a 914 to a 918, there's something for everyone here. This is put together by a fellow RL member every year as a local charity fundraiser. Good time spent with many, many local Porschephiles. Here's a few highlights.
Replaced mine and buddy's headlight lenses. I have a Cayman S so I also did black out mod on my trim like on the GTS and GT4. His is a GTS so it's already painted black.
