Congrats on the ride, but what’s hanging off the 2 vents - air fresheners? 2 of them?

Do you deliver fish in that car?

haha, those were in there when I got it. I didn't bother removing them. I think they're cherry or something.

I have taken my SUV before to pick up new tires. Good to know I don't need to.
Not visible in this picture, but do you have the fourth tire in your lap??

Looks nice! My 991.1 had Carrera Classics and 991.2 has RS Spyders. I think they look great. Cleaning them hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. All about having the right tools

Default Stock Exhaust Tips - Modified

I’ve never been happy with my stock exhaust tips. The seams are hard to clean and they really don’t look that great when they are. I’ve thought about buying aftermarket ones but never pulled the trigger. So I decided to modify them by welding the seems and then blending them smooth. I first used an XRF Analyzer to determine the exact alloy composition. It turns out they’re 304 stainless steel. So I TIG welded them with 309L weld filler. Then I used various bits and sanders to blend them to contour. I still have a bit more to do before polishing them but I think they already look great.

Changed out my factory gold hood crest for a silver and black one to match my car and wheel caps better. I like how the silver crest looks with my all black white and silver car.
