Don't buy this. The cable is 2" too short. 14-15" would be more ideal.

I've gone a bit bonkers as just getting my 911 CS back - after ED May/Jun - Mon. But in prep:
  • Lava orange 'shells' for keys
  • Lava ignition switch (can you guess my CS's colour? )
  • Xpel - booked-in for all-front & fenders
  • Frunk liner
  • folding track tow hook w/ GoPro mount
  • aluminium track mat
  • Rear Shelf Mat - 911 Carrera orange/black
  • Porsche sunshade
  • indoor cover
  • License plate frame black for rear - 'Carrera'

I'm also going to buy some new cleaning gear incl. dry wash. for quick spot cleaning.

Thanks. I already got the hardwire fuse kit in advance of going to the dealer for the install mainly to avoid any charge for parts. I am going to discuss with them about where to best tap it. They said they have their own parts. So if need be they will use their method. I am not sure, but I did previously have the wire tapped from either the mirror or other location near it. It was no problem. I appreciate your follow up.

Bingo! You also 'win' the prize. Truly, Rennline's array of tow hooks is bewildering!

Very pleased with the quality of Chris' work. He even wraps the edges under the panel (where he can).
Looks fantastic! What was the cost to do this job, I would like to do similar!

That is standard operation with the MirrorTap. It is powered by the rear view mirror, places minimal draw and goes on and off with the ignition. No special fuse box work.

15" is the min, at least for an escort.

UK "super" "97/99"octane = is what they call 92 /93 octane in the USA

Porsche of Conshohocken had the last unlocked GTS Targa allocation in the country. (Ask me how I know lol).

Just started a thread here.
