I like the painted spoiler lip. But I scuffed on a curb b4 I was used to parking it. I've got a quote to mask it off and paint for $150. I thought it could just b popped off without removing the entire bumper cover.
Does anybody know if it just clips in, or if the bumper cover needs to b removed?

Porsche Roof Transport system! Can't wait to take the bike to wine country and enjoy those back roads on 2 wheels and 4!

Recently picked up:
- OEM accordion style sunshade (got a local dealer to match suncoast, I usually get the covercraft from autoanything.com but this was the same price or cheaper and included P branding and a storage bag).
- License plate frame security caps (http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/SKUPFSC.html). Call me crazy, but one time while parked outside an old G35 coupe had its license plate stolen by car thieves who had stolen a different G35, which resulted in a long DMV line wait for me. The plate frame bolt caps on my OEM license plate frame pretty much instantly fell off and I replaced them with these.
- Porsche classic tire gauge (apparently this has a Bourdon mechanism. I plan to supplement my accutire with this, as I recently had a TPMS display issue that makes me question the accuracy of both my accutire and the PCM's TPMS).
I think at this point it's just an SSK and getting her Xpeled...

Not purchased today but finally installed earlier, TPC Racing Stage 1 Suspension kit aka sway bars + drop links. Only had a very brief test drive following install but very, very impressed with the change to turn in feel and overall stability during aggressive cornering.
The guy at my shop who runs a GT3 Cup program took it for a road test + shake down and he said he LOVES the feel of the car now with the KW HAS kit, DSC v2, Sport Cup 2 tires, and TPC sway bars. He said it now feels better than a 991 GT3 but he was likely just pumping up my tires given my recent investment with him.
Real test of course is next track day on Sept 13th, looking forward to it!

Aaand seems like I answered my own question by having a look through the options on the KW site. HAS kit is springs only. Got it.
Question then becomes: did you notice an improvement in handling when you lowered the car, or was it more a cosmetic enhancement? Thanks!

Yes absolutely... part of it was the combination of ride height, more aggressive alignment, and corner balance but there is no doubt the handling is now on another level after installing the KW kit. Flat, sharp, responsive, etc.

Ordered the AWE Wind Diffusers. Great service from AWE. Parts arrived in 4 days. Easy installation. I hate reading instructions and I'm a klutz at assembling things. So .... my wife did everything. Took about 10 minutes for the first door as she wasn't sure how hard she could pull and tug to remove the first piece. Second door took about 4 minutes. The Wind Diffusers work as advertised. A quick test to 115 and the cabin was dead silent.
