No, but I'm sure you'll get a chuckle from the Porsche Service Advisor as he pings your CC to the tune of $295 an hour to reset the code your cheap lights just logged (because they cant figure out why that circuit is pulling to many/little amps)!

Also, just in case it's not obvious, the eBay version linked above pillages the OEM Porsche image of the logo as their example (i.e., that's not their actual part shown).

I agree, they are materially cheaper. However, I think at least a few of us will be disappointed with the logo image quality when they see the non-OEM installed and reflected on the ground. That's partly why I took an actual image of mine installed to show the crispness. My image is mid-day with the garage open and you can see how crisp it is. At night, it's a huge difference when compared to the non-oem.

Have one of these and love it (as much as you can love a battery). Advised to have car coded for LiPO4 to prevent Overvoltage from alternator codes showing up.

i have the 24 amp hour one...the lightest one.

no problem after a month with codes

i also left a car door open and interior lights on in the garage overnight and it started right up the next morning no problem... so the concerns about a 24 amp hour not being enough to handle the car’s load

I just ordered a set from Suncoast...finally gave in and got the RS side air inlets, frankly and absurd price for those when you consider how much less the RS side skirts are lol

i also ordered the 911 R side stripes decal set to try out with the PORSCHE lettering in red...which should look pretty cool on my blue TTS

That looks really good! Who did that for you? Did you buy the crest somewhere then just have someone paint it?

That crest looks great! I've considered changing the crests on my car but the OCD in me would need the steering wheel crest changed as well. I've yet to find someone that can do that.

Thanks! The crest was customised in the US by Carrera East aka Jim. There are several topics on Rennlist (also on this forum) showing what he made. Google Carreraeast and you will find him. He also does steering wheel crests

... and the wheel crests too. But this crest looks outstanding!
