That’s a license to steal. The world is your oyster.

I have a couple more things to buy but I’m trying to control this addiction. It’s definitely challenging. Oh yeah, the wife’s reaction....the look I get from her is priceless.
Someone should put together a staged list of mods that every new owner should buy, stage 1... X (where you need professional addiction help)

The dealer slapped on the clear side markers.. woohoo I saved a hundred bucks.. wait a minute I paid MSRP

I thought I could skip needing a mount seeing as I use CarPlay all the time. I put the phone in the pocket under the arm rest and it worked a treat. Then I fired her up and opened the PSE flaps and not a peep from Siri! Unless you like driving around with the arm rest open and flapping about. So I need a phone mount... is the pro clip good? Will it damage the the center console where it crimps? I was looking at the rennline console mount

Thanks

Rennline is the best solution I have found for phone mounts. Holds my big iPhone 8+ fine, which I was kind of worried about magnet strength... no issue.

I haven’t installed the Proclip on my Porsche-to-be since it’s still on a boat out on the Pacific but I feel it’s the safest and cleanest design out there. Check out their website. I have one for my Audi and I like it a lot.

As a huge fan of the whale tail, I've looked far and wide for a modern version that actually looks good on the 991. I don't think it exists.

If you can custom design and fabricate such a unicorn of a car part, let me know. I'm in.

Fortunately, not much drag below 75 mph.

After the Suntek Ultra PPF and 70% ceramic window tint, I had the Cargraphic downpipes installed. Awesome sound, and quicker spool up of turbos. It's a win-win!! :-)

If you use a wireless charger as I do, any magnetic phone holder is a no go. Otherwise, Rennline is a great solution.

I'm kidding of course.

Do you know if the installer dropped the muffler to install your down pipes? I'm about to do it myself.

@RDCR Looks very cool. It also looks like you have an all black multifunction steering wheel. Did you switch to the black inserts yourself or is this standard on the GTS?

Cheers, -Peter

That'a a .2 RS style MF wheel, the inserts aren't removable. I replaced the button style MF wheel that came on the car with that one using the GPS adapter.
