How much did that snow cost you? I can ship you as much as you like for free.

Installed an extended height center console arm rest this morning. Much better! Thanks to shaginwagon for the excellent post with photos and instructions. Also had to buy a new battery the other day. (OK, I'll use the battery maintainer now...)

Off Topic: But, virtually every pic in this forum, including the most recent one here, redacts the license plate. The only pics that don't redact the license plate are those showing their custom plates, which is still the official license plate for the given vehicle. So, why redact at all? There is nothing someone can do knowing your license. Otherwise, you would need to hide it while driving in public, which you can't do.

Never understood why posters think they need to do that.

I bought my 2015 991 mid-Sept. 2016 (new and warranty punched 9/16). Since I've had it:

- Sport Techno wheel/tire set (gonna sell the Carrera Classics that were on the car at delivery)
- Carrera S wheel takeoff set from Suncoast (I'm a wheel junkie, what can I say?). Also bought center caps and 5mm spacers
- PSE
- Cobb tune
- Techart paddle shift kit for factory multifunction steering wheel
- SPASM front spoiler lip
- LED clear side markers
- Frunk hood protector
- CTEK MUS 4.3 battery maintainer
- SmartTOP convertible roof module
- Jet Black metallic PPG basecoat so the key side plastic could be painted to match
- AWE side spoilers
- BMC air filters
- 2 JEGS 2 ton floor jacks
- 4 Jackpoint jack stands
- 4 reverse logic jack pads
- Precut XPEL side pieces (forward and rear of the rear wheels). Forward piece replaces factory protection and eliminates orange peel appearance. Rear piece provides protection aft of the rear wheels that IMO Porsche should have thought of to begin with. A small plastic deflector would be ideal. Car came with full XPEL front fender, hood, and bumper protection
- Porterfield R4S brake pads
- Sh**load of detailing supplies
- Porsche valve stem caps
- Water deionizer for spot free washing (was on sale at Costco and heard about it on Rennlist). IMO almost a necessity for a black car.

Everything self installed except for the PSE

Suncoast Parts. It was $357.00. Not cheap, but in my opinion, worth it.

Confirmed, these wind foiler do work. 90mph and booming sound from wind buffer.

Just got this wheel from Suncoast. They're on sale, $695. I paid $500 extra for the multi-function stalk.

I love their customer service. No wonder why so many people buy from them.

I got them straight from XPEL. They are part of a rocker panel kit and I asked if I could buy just that part of the set which they were able to do. The pieces look like hockey sticks and I bought 2 sets just in case I messed up the installation on the first go. Turns out I did As stated XPEL will cut those pieces individually for you. I also got the rear wheel impact area kit which I think looks a lot better than the factory pieces.

My car already had some abrasion on the wheel cut out from debris impact so I used a buffer to smooth things out before I put down the hockey sticks. The 'repaired' abrasion virtually disappeared with the use of the buffer and is unnoticeable under the film unless you get very very close and know where to look.

Picked up my 911S yesterday. Just ordered WeatherTech laser mats to replace the paper mats from the dealer.
