Great little camera, being installed with a joyeauto carplay setup.
Hey Aaron,
Let me know how that works out as it's the one thing I haven't tackled as of yet. Now we need to get side by side to compare exhaust notes! Ran up Geiger Grade for the first time since installing the headers and exhaust...........Wow the sound is exhilarating with the windows down!
Here's a pre-exhaust run into Virginia City.....https://www.dropbox.com/s/r9jgiotuvt...20342.mp4?dl=0

It was a pain in the ***! haha at least the run from the bumper to the interior was.........but a MUST have with these cars, especially with the convertible though as it's impossible to see anything without one.

My exhaust is LOUD with the PSE switch on but quiet as stock without and under 5k rpm. Can't wait to do a side by side with yours, weather is getting better to where we can do this finally.

Same here... Can't decide between the striped plate or the manual shift boot. First world problems for sure. If I could find a used one, I'd probably go that route so I don't have the "+/-" issue.

I have a 911.1 and the plate has the "+/-" reversed from how my car shifts manually.

Still - $18 vs $1220 of non-available parts, yikes.

Also while wrapping, I had an aircooled 911 damaged engine lid, I decided to wrap some more and make a deco for the wall - not finished but you can see bubbles on that ;-)

If you can take them off to paint, you certainly can take them off to wrap. I guess the difficulty lies in finding a color that is a nice match to your car - mine being white it wasn't too hard.. Removing the blades from the door is a more involved exercise than just the dash though - plenty of threads on that. I'm not going that far..

I think the only potential challenge would be getting the vinyl to stick to the door panel, but you can get adhesion promoters to help with that.

Really tempted to do the same. I don't think I'm skilled enough for a DIY, I was contemplating to do air vents to (if possible). Need to get a quote. I have no idea how much it might be.

Got a little acrylic wall art for the garage, it's 24x36"

this is the back side, front has protected film that has to be removed after installation



Now she can look at herself while in the garage

Default Big Foot Protection

Finally got around to protecting my drivers side door from Big Foot!

Every time I have to pull into my narrow garage with both cars I can't open the door completely and I sometimes scuff the leather door pocket with the toe of my shoe. Nothing major but why ruin a pristine leather panel. I ordered a small roll of thick carbon fiber look vinyl and applied a replaceable scuff protector. I had installed a test one a few months ago and it worked fine so I finally got around to making a better fitting one. Being on the door bottom, you can't even tell it's there but it does work.
