what did i do? I replaced the front left radiator. However, was shocked to see that after all the fluid came out, the little ball on the inside of the coolant fill area read "MAX" with less than 1 bottle of coolant. Is this normal or is something else happening?

Did you vacuum fill the cooling system? Based upon your description… no.
Edit:
Heat cycle it. Once it’s cool check again.
Do you have any notion of how much coolant was lost?
Hello WORF, thank you for replying, based on your comment, I did some research, and now know what I have to do. I appreciate you. the key words are: "Vacuum fill...."

Maybe. It’s not clear to me yet, how ‘self-bleeding’ is the 991 cooling system. There’s also a bleed valve that enables the cooling system to “burp.” I don’t have the shop manuals handy right now, so I can’t describe accurately where it is. In any case, it may be possible to open the bleed valve, run the engine and further top off the coolant. But, without knowing how much coolant is left in the system, I hesitate to suggest that approach.
Since taking delivery a week ago I have installed the Zunsport Grills and did the MTX radar detector tap.
I'm now plagued with the spoiler failure at speeds above 77....Ive read all the threads here and it seems like I'm only losing pressure at speed? I can drive around in sport plus with full spoiler extension all day long as long as I stay under 77. I'm going to see if I can tackle the control assembly replacement myself.
That's a bugger. Yes, there are a couple threads in it, you're a braver man than I - mine (front) was recently recalibrated by the dealer as I drove into a parking block to the tune of $1600.
