I exhausted my buy list but I did put some elbow grease into some maintenance items. Rebuilt my center locks and while in there I painted the vanes on the front rotors.

looks great.
did you buy new center lock parts or refresh old ones?
Just disassembled and cleaned with WD40 to break down and remove the old grease. It’s a messy job, then once they look all shiny they get re-lubed, installed and look no different
However I was happy to see my contact point bands were classified as good (Per Porsche manual) wide uniform bands with no scores. I decided to ceramic coat the outer exposed black faces of the CL bolts, not sure if it will hold up but it was very quick so why not

I did all of this recently too. Also ceramic coated the CL lugs but cant get them to hold that look for a long time. they tend to want to go back to a slightly faded look, while the wheels retain that dark look. Kinda strange
new soul carbon exhaust tips! looks much better than my stock oval ones that were on there.
It looks great!!
I am waiting for mine to come, ordered the same and I am glad to see they look great!! Mine should be here next week, hopefully I can find the time to put them on!
The "I'm a rennlist member" dead giveaway purchase
I'm not sure I like it, I like the location but can't figure out a good spot for the metal piece. Last night my phone didn't charge (wireless) because of the location of the metal plate in my case. Got to play with it more.
I bought a s#itty weather relief vehicle. Not for the actual weather, for the rocks and sand all over afterwards. I will drive my car in the snow, just not afterwards until we get a good rain.

I have the new apple branded case for the iphone 12 pro (clear and has white circle on the back) it actually holds pretty well on the same mount.
I know it's hard to see with the angle, but the rotor is really close to 15" (380mm)! It's hard to gauge how big the six-piston caliper is as well, but it is massive and the quality is beautiful. This is going to be quite an upgrade from my stock C2 base brakes.
Shipment got split up. As soon as I get all four boxes, I'll post up more pics.
I can't wait to get them installed and have some fun.
Thank you Essex!
Those look amazing and if I have any qualms with my system I plan to get the same setup. I like being able to run 19's I I think fitment is an issue with 380mm rotors.

Nice...AP's are badass. I ran them on an old race bike. Top of the line stuff right there.
