Good luck! Be careful with all that aluminum paste on the center locks. That stuff is nasty!

Go to www.ultimatecupholders.com. You'll see what I'm talking about there. They are an add on item that places a cupholder along the center tunnel floor rather than the dash ones. I respect Porsche's attempt to put cupholders in a small sportscar, but in reality a tall cup is at great risk of tipping over. These are a clever alternative. They are $50 for a pair, including shipping and are of a nice quality.

So far, I've added OEM Clear LED Sidemarkers, AWE window foilers, CocoMat Red/Black checkers mats, a Red/Black cell phone holder, and Red and Carbon Fiber jackets for my key fobs.

​​​​​​Just today, I had all the windows including the windshield done with Tint World Ultimate 70% ceramic tint with a 5% strip across the top of the windshield, and 45% Ultimate ceramic tint on the sunroof. BTW, it's relatively easy to get a prescription for auto window tint from any licensed ophthamologist, if your eyes are sensitive to sunlight.

I believe Tint World buys 3M ceramic film and with their huge purchasing quantities they get a very special price, like Home Depot does with 3M. What I paid was a real bargain compared to what independent shops quoted. And Tint World has a nationwide guarantee on their tint. So far it looks great with no bubbles and no distorted areas, and the cockpit is so much cooler in the sun. It's a bargain for the increased enjoyment. Parking it in the sun will no longer be my hell on earth...

This will keep me busy on figuring out how to remove the rear bumper this upcoming weekend I guess.

Default Sun Shade

A great, very well made custom sized sun shade for parking in the sun to protect the (leather) dash. $59.00 - really! https://www.covercraft.com/us/en

I like the blacked out look and the Vorsteiner diffuser is defintely the best looking one.

For some reason those spoilers make the car look like a 718 or booster to me. Of course I want a GT3 wing so who am I to critique

Very well done sir

They work extremely well. From 50mph to track speeds.

Love the AWE foilers. Wind buffeting is gone. Easy to do on later 991.1s. I've read its not so easy on the earlier ones where inside door trim must be removed...

How large is this folded? Can it store hidden in the car when not being used? Under the seats?

Is the hole big enough in diameter to accommodate a water bottle with a hugger or foam koozy?

Yes, the arms are bendable so you can "customize" them.
