It's a big list... I found out, rather harshly, that the Turbo is a much more complex beast than the NA versions. Big example are the spark plugs / coils. I ended up replacing the ignition coils on my 991 GT3 using some ramps. The TTs require removing bumper, intercooler, and all the piping before you can reach them. Big difference in labor price at a shop too (~$600 - $800 vs. #$1400)

Yes, I just did coils, but through the shop, it was a little spendy.

What are you using to do the various “activations” required? PIWIS? Clone? iCarSoft?

During the paint correction is it only the factory defects in clear coat or do they fix minor paint chips on the front as well?

That's a great question.
I'm also wondering if they do anything with the very fine sand blasting around the intercooler inlets?
That's always an area of interest.

It is usually to address factory defects, swirl marks that may have gotten on the paint, and minor scratches / imperfections. I doubt rock chips can be addressed as they have chipped away the paint entirely in that spot [I'm not a detailer, just my .02 from having many cars paint corrected and PPF'd].

I had paint correction done before my car was ceramic coated a couple of years ago. The standard process does not address rock chips, as noted above. I paid to have a few chips addressed during the detailing process.

Default So many things coming...

Not 2 weeks in and I've got a bunch of stuff ordered and we started working on getting on what's here!

Just the highlights:

Zunsport grills
Techart springs
HRE FF04 Wheels with Conti's
Rennline spacers 7/15
RS side skirts
Sharkwerks exhaust
Soul cat delete
Silver and black hood and wheel emblems

Car already has Fabspeed headers and BMC filter. Bonus!!

Always scary to get a car up on a lift and really look at what's going on, but this one is immaculate! Really happy!

Do the spark plugs while you're almost already there. You'll be sorry later if that's the only thing on the todo list and you have to do it.
