That might work!

No, but it seriously did suck! Took me about 2 hours to get one side done. Scraping glue layer by layer as the adhesive remover dissolved it. I think I also got a contact high.






Bravo, and looks good!

Had it been me doing the work, it would have resulted in several thousand dollars damage, so you're well ahead.

Thank you! I have to say when I peeled off the original and saw all the glue left behind, I was wondering what the heck I was thinking wanting these!

Not much to damage though, really. The original sills will definitely be destroyed by removal. No way around it. The rest just takes patience.

More fun with the Cricut. Creating my own bespoke brand. I etched and frosted the rear glass and added little of german heritage to the mix "Rocket S" -> Rakete S to personal the car a little more. It's actually frosted window cling vinyl. Looks pretty cool and not permanent. Might change it up at each PCA event.

Would any of you be interested in stuff or would like custom vinyl like this if the wife did say Esty store? She would do it just for fun side hobby/hustle to help out other Porsche owners.

Since this can be applied temporary, I might be interested in this to use at special events. Keep us updated if your wife does something like an Esty store.

Default Wheels refurbished

Had all the curb rash repaired on my wheels with new powder coating. I used Wheel Repair Solutions here in DFW and I can highly recommend them. They even sprayed the plastic center caps to match.

Looks good! I had three wheels done at the dealer about 2 weeks ago under warranty. Had to put up with this loaner for a couple of days ...

Yes, still a fan of proper trucks more so than attempts to be one.

Finally got the car all put back together and dyno-tuned with Sam and OMG I’m happy with my Stage 4 (especially in this 90+ degree heat). Haven’t done any 60-130s yet, but I’m super happy.



675 on pump 93 and 753 on a ms109 mix

Will think about methanol next spring/summer, but Sam definitely has worked his magic!!

750whp without meth is admirable, and, probably really entertaining to drive.

I'm never lucky enough to get a Cayenne. Macan at best over here.. Either way, they're fun to beat the snot out of!
