I haven't noticed any overheating issues, but I haven't tracked since I got it either. I'm not sure if I can comb it out, or if I have to take it somewhere to straighten the fins.

Those look even better IRL than the photoshop mockup you did a while back. Very nice!

Were you able to measure the weight of the Style Edition wheel?

I did not weigh them unfortunately. I wish I had a scale handy, but I don't. I figure they are the same or very similar to 718 GT4 wheels. The lowest I have seen posted is 21.8 lbs. for the 20 x 8.5 and 23.8 lbs. for 20 x 11. I have seen slightly heavier figures posted as well so it seems like a grey area. At any rate, they should be among the lightest OEM Porsche 20s available for the Cayman/Boxster I would think.

I brought my car home from winter storage and finished my DIY conversion on my LED DLRs. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. They are also hooked up to the blinkers and show amber for that.

Wow these look amazing. Can you post more details on how you did it?

Thanks for the compliments on the LEDs. I will post a new thread on how I did the LED conversion, but first I still have one more bug I am trying to figure out.

MRG titanium conversion , the fear of chipping pccb was too great.

Starting the Club sport conversion for this weekend.


A smaller swept area but thicker endurance pads and significant weight savings not to mention I can run 18" wheels.

Default Techart Sport exhaust

Installed the Techart valved sport exhaust. What a terrific sound!

Finally installed my OZ wheels and PS4S tires
I also installed my Cargraphic race headers. The soul valved exhaust paired with this header is perfect. super loud when needed, and quiet when driving normally. I opted to do the stud conversion for the header bolts. This made installation much easy..and in the future I will not have to worry about the header bolt seizing or cross threading etc.
while I was in there I also completed the spark plug change.
I also addressed infamous the gas tank noise/squeak issue since I saw that the left pad was missing on the firewall above the gas tank.
