Finally installed the numeric shifter into the 991.2 GTS. Feels a lot shorter and precise.

Some may not think the made to order visors from Germany are not worth the price and I disagree! Unlike in my other vehicles I found the stickers very distracting as they are so close to my eyes and ruins the aesthetic inside the car.

After driving at high speeds I can say that the previously installed AWE wind diffusers work incredibly; with both windows down I didn't notice any buffeting. I took the car up to around 200km/h.

I also bought the Exclusive gas cap, easily good for 10+ BHP!













Last but not least, I installed the Carbonio front plate mount with Weathertech covers for easy install and removal. Highly recommended for a center-mounted option. The mount point is barely visible when the plate is removed The dimple on the underside of the GTS bumper cover where it mounts makes centering the install fool proof as well.
I was thinking of buying the Alacantra no sticker sunvisors as well. Was it hard to install the new visors? I have them in my cart at Suncoast for $1395 USD. Seems steep but your comments may push me over the edge. If it’s an easy DIY install I’ll probably do it

Thank you very much

Don't buy the visors from Porsche - send them to Classic 9 Leather and get them recovered for a fraction of the cost, which I did.

It was around $450 from what I recall but I had mine covered in leather - perfect match to the other leather inside and I also had them use Yellow stitching. It only took a couple of weeks from when I sent them but I was told when to send them so they did not have to sit there too long. Andrew was great working with me to get them done and it is impossible to tell they are not OEM. By the way, I never missed not having them in the car when they were out.

Classic 9 does top notch work. Good idea to consider them!

One other question Bob,Were the visors difficult to remove? I assume I just take the trim piece off and unscrew it. Any more difficult than that?

thanks very much. I really appreciate your help.
