I ordered it from their website. The mounts are car and detector specific and extremely well made. Not cheap but they are the "Porsche of Radar Detector Mounts"...). It was $130 after 12.5% referral discount. You can use this link to get the same discount Blendmount 12.5% discount. (I'll get a credit as well). I had it hardwired at a local car audio dealership for $80, but you can do it too if you are handier than me .

Didn’t buy it today, bought the set last fall, AMS intercoolers. Today I Installed them over about an 8 hour time frame. I do not work particularly fast, but then I never have any parts left over and typically don’t have to redo anything . So anyway, installed the AMS intercoolers today which should be the last of my performance mods for my 2018 991.2 GTS. Didn’t post a ‘how to’ because there is no way I could improve on the instructions AMS has on their website. The last thing to do is to get the car dyno’d and a custom tune for the Cobb. So here is my list of mods, in order of installation:

Soul 200 cell cats
Cobb ecu tune (now Stage 2 93)
BMC air filter
DSC Sport V3 suspension controller
Vektor headers

The car sounds awesome and hauls ba**s. Can’t wait to get it dyno’d and a custom tune. Will be interesting to see what it is putting out which I think is a LOT.

Default Thank You ALL for the shared info

I have already benefitted enormously from many posts sharing the result of hours of research & personal experience. Thank you so much! In case this is useful to someone, here are a few items I've decided to get. I've got a few projects to get to!

These are for Center Lock Wheels, Radiator Grills, Radar Detector, & removable Front License Mount with magnets.

^^^Great choice. I had an AR Blue, used it once and put it on Craigslist. Got the Kranzle 1122 and never looked back.

Did you DIY the cats also? I remember your excellent post on the headers...

For those paying attention here on RL, that screen-capture is worth thousands of words. Great post.

7mm spacers front and rear. The hella sunk wheels on my lowered car were killing me. The little bit of spacer went a long way on the car

Obsessed Garage. I've been lusting for this about 2 years.
