As for a 4.0... sorry not on the cards until we are back to a family of two, I need the back seat.

Apologies if this was covered.

I had a pair of these door shut latch covers left over from my '14 Cayman S and decided to see if they fit the 991.

Amazon Amazon

Seems to work ok. I like how it seems to finish off the door latch striker plate.

Basically, yes. Just kind of finishes off the look a bit.

My first attempt to make some temporary shade for washing my car (at 7000 ft the strong sun and low humidity means instant drying). And the sun angle is not right in this photo--I need to wait for early afternoon.

No ****...It does not matter that no one but you will notice them but where can you buy a part for the 991 that cost less than $7 shipped, and a pair at that!

Impressive!

For a similar reason, I always try to wash my car in the afternoon, as it will then be in shadow in front of my house.

Well done. Everyone, please post your solution to temporary shade for washing, etc. I need to find something for me. Thanks.

I use Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax. 2 bucket system and wash in garage so that solves the sun issue. The stuff is a game changer https://optimumcarcare.com/product/o...inse-wash-wax1

And for those that have their cars coated I use this, which works great over the OptiCoat Pro I have on my car:
https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-NR2010Q-Rinse-Wash-Shine/dp/B00D8DR0AO/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_263_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DJ0HYHSRC8GV9ZAW7RWV https://www.amazon.com/Optimum-NR2010Q-Rinse-Wash-Shine/dp/B00D8DR0AO/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_263_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DJ0HYHSRC8GV9ZAW7RWV

It allows me to basically wash my car in the garage without a hose, buckets, etc.
