I bought the Milwaukee Polisher and some Chemical Brothers polish and pads.

Cut and polished then ceramic coated. These are before the ceramic coat and it is even shinier now!

Not bad for 108000 miles and 2009 !!!

went to Mavis Tires for the high speed vibration and they were able to correct the issue but not sure what happened now the steering wheel is oriented to one o'clock and TPMS warning (tire pressure value all @ zeros). ran out of time to go back to them!

Did they spin them on the car? If so, they probably changed your alignment. Make them re-do it or pay for it.

A lot of cardboard traveled the country so I could replace my power steering line.

Have the tires run on a Hunter Road Force Balance machine, guarantee that will show you what's wrong.

Hijacking this thread for a quick question. If anyone has done a 997.2 steering wheel upgrade into their 987.1, would you happen to know if I can use a Panamera airbag instead of a 997.2/987.2 Airbag? (they both fit in the steering wheel alone with a lower cost on ebay) I have a manual car, no multi-function wheel if that helps. Feel free to tag me or dm me.

Pics might help to confirm, but many are interchangeable, either with or without adapters and / or programming.
It depends of course on your multi-function-ness to start.

You can however, start here...

Ball socket on convertible top pushrod broke, took me about 5 mins to pull the spare out of my glovebox and replace.

Lots of top cycles, so it’s just the price of play. Think I’ve done this about 3 times over the 120k miles I’ve driven.

If you drive a Boxster, these should be in your glovebox too, just sayin’. No commercial interest, purely a happy customer.

Installed a 9x7 manual shifter trim, manual shift boot, and the GT4 RS PDK shifter in my 987.2 PDK. I know the - + don't match. Might get another TCU and have the - + flipped but I only really use the paddles. Up next is the handbrake.
