Sam thanks! Very useful information. BTW, did you get the full leather dash with red stitching? I ordered it but was not sure if the stitching would extend to the windshield. Your stitching appears to go all around the base of the windshield.

I got that, too. It is the extended leather package, including dashboard. Adds the contrasting stitching all over the dash. Great option with red stitching. Pricey but nice.

Definitely. Worth it because it's right there to stare at.

I was really torn on that option and neglected to go for it.

Yet another mistake on my part! It looks amazing.

Looks great! Made my day.

What is the cost of the Sharkwerks by pass and what is the dealer charging to install?

They list it at $1,500 on their website. I don't recall the install price, perhaps 1-1 1/2 hrs labor. You can do it yourself if you 1-Have a lift 2-Have the right tools 3-Have small hands. I didn't have any of these.

Sam thanks. I haven't the faintest idea as to how a screw driver works.

Pretty awesome sound Sam... When they did your engine exchange Porsche reinstalled it for you?
Nice long road stretches to test the car. Where in Texas are you?

I got it back Monday but the car arrived at the dealership 9 days before. I am north of Dallas (Plano). Those roads are 10 miles or so further north.
