Finally Installed This! I wish it was weighted more, but it will do.

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.

If I was about to enter a Concours event, sounds like a plan, otherwise, don't see the need.

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

For the first time in my life:applied Canubra wax. I’ve never owned a car worth the effort before. Paint seems great for 18yo.

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.

Well that's a tough act to follow, but I installed clear side markers on my Boxster RS 60 Spyder this afternoon!
