No, I wont. Im not some kind of insane person that drags their feet across the door sills everytime I get in and out of the car haha 😂 The car is new to me, so wanted to start with "fresh" door sills.
picked the car up yesterday pretty happy with the result she now track straight still has a tiny shimmy over 100 but i can live with it since i don't go that fast a lot (sometimes, lol). I suspect the tires but i'll deal with it when the time comes for replacement (currently Conti Extreme).
contemplating 19" next season. thanks for all the comments and help. Happy Motoring!
after this episode i still can't stand the light tremors on high speed so i took it to another shop (4th) who preps race cars and they did another road force balancing they did an excellent job to completely eliminate the shimmy (L F tire was the culprit) and confirmed no bent wheels and all tires in good shape. One of the most expensive tire balancing of my life $275! lol
Decided it is finally time to deal with my OCD and took the car to an interior repair/restoration specialist that work on old Ferraris and Porsches. I was blown away by the result.
I always love adding some updates or changes to my P-Cars. Makes me feel like I have a new ride sometimes! On my 2008 Boxster S I swapped out my Lobster shoes for a nice, but used, set of Carrera Sport Wheels 19 x 8.5 front with 19 x 10 rears. Came with a used set of Michelin Sport 4S tires already on them 235/35/19 265/35/19. Will replace with new Michelin Sport 4S 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 when needed. Also Added a nice little Boxster S decal on the lower doors. I like it.
On my 2008 Cayman S, I added the all Red Tail lights from the 2008 Design Edition, and a little side door decal as well.
