Added carbon fiber door sills. Interior is now perfect for me.

Get a cr spotless https://crspotless.com/ water system and you will never have water spots again. I have been using this for the last year and it is great. Usually try to be in the shade regardless but when I am forced to be under the sun I still don’t get spots. Finish it off with a master blaster air dry and you have the perfect system.

Thanks. During most of the year, I have very little shade on the garage side of the house. Clearly a design flaw.

If water dries w/o spots, why do you need to bother with MB air dry?

Wondering if they still have any in stock

Looks great! Where did you get the dash and door handle carbon pieces from? Are they matt finish?

You can buy various pieces here and make your own kit. They don't sell a "whole kit" per se.

For my "new to me" '15 GTS, I ordered four black 49mm lug bolts to replace the anti-theft lug bolts, a set of wiper blades, and a set of clear aside markers (non-LED).

Pretty exciting stuff, eh? :-)

Ah well, nothing’s perfect, but the house looks amazing!

Sounds reasonable to me.

My new to me ‘17 991.2 has one of those ‘anti-theft’ bolts on each wheel. I guess it must be common in NYC?

Anyway, I was curious about changing them out for regular bolts. Are the bolts the same across the 991? Might I ask where you got these?

Sorry if this is a noobie question, I’m still kinda in shock at the thought I am finally driving a 911 after all these years.

Thanks! Design by local architect Tom Umbau and built by the Krueger Group. We spent 3 years in planning and construction and have lived in it for another 3--loving it.

I ordered from Suncoast, but they can be sourced from any of the online Porsche parts vendors.

https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/LUGNUT.html

The only differences occur when you have wheel spacers. My car has the Porsche 5mm spacers, which come with 5mm longer wheel bolts. As such, I needed to order the longer 49mm bolts. If your car does not have spacers, the standard bolt is what you need.

Speaking from experience, these will be among the cheapest Porsche parts you will likely ever buy. :-)
