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

I have the 991 GTS with sport mirrors, the wind buffering and booming are pretty bad. I hope these AWE TUNING FOILER™ WIND DIFFUSER will help.

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.

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.
