I heard people like unboxing videos...so here is a Porsche parts unboxing during quarantine, haha. Hear my commentary on why Porsche was so thoughtful with the front splitter!

I would like to disagree with you, if I may.
I've spent about 800 miles with one and will be removing it next week.
Even the softest is too much for a daily in my opinion and others that have tried It have removed it as well. It adds noticeable noise and vibration especialy in mid RPM. My wife noticed it immediately as well and thought something was wrong.
Now, the upside is it does make the car feel more raw. The shifter feel is greatly improved, made it more precise. I am positive I will miss that. Will have to get Numeric shifter to compensate.

I have heard this testimony.... I have a PDK car. I do have the numeric shifters and cables in the 987 and it is glorious but very "raw" but the 987 is much more analog. Reading/responding to your post may be the first time that I've ever recommended anything over the numeric parts.... The numeric shifter is just vastly superior to anything else, including Porsche OEM. I would recommend the GT3 shifter for you or OEM ssk. Its a little improved over stock but it's still easy and smooth. The Numeric kit is incredible but definitely makes more noise and takes more effort. Absolutely more "raw" and I love it but I was going for what you are describing closer to the experiience you have it the FF1 mount.

I bought a can of this....


masked off the rear bumper cover and lower valence and got the silver/gray of her udder into stealth mode:



and I also re-installed the PSE tips so they protrude just a bit more.

Hated the fingerprints on my pcm-so I purchased a tempered glass screen protector for it from Amazon for around $10. It made the Matt screen high gloss and reduces fingerprints-but does not eliminate completely. Will roll with it to see how the gloss impacts it out in the sun but it does seem to match my gloss black trim better

Yes, that may be the case-but will try it out and see. Here is a link to it-

Let us know how it works out the next time you have your car out! Since I have an open top car I might have more of a problem with glare though.

Wow that looks good, particularly with those wheels and the painted calipers.

New wheels on order, just have to wait 4 to 5 weeks for build

I'm not really a fan of oem wheels, I like to look a little different
