Finally some love on the outside with a wash in a late afternoon ❤️
Looks awesom! Where did you get the carbon interior trim from?

Bang for the buck; $ 69 shipped.
I purchased these about 6 months ago, and they are simply awesome to have. They hold travel mugs very tight. Highly recommended!!!!!!

Thanks man!
For the rich P owners please don’t hate. Carbon trim is actually vinyl wrap and then I used 2k clear. Spent not even a fraction and to be honest it looks real even in person.

Did you wrap in place or pull the pieces to apply the layers?

My brushed aluminum has a few scrapes here and there and I'm debating what to consider for replacement.

I removed them from the car, I think it’s the way to go to get the best results, specially if you’re going to spray clear cote, you don’t want that anywhere near the rest of your interior. It’s not that hard at all to pull them off as long as you take your time.

For sure, this vinyls have come a long way from those cardboard looking ones from 5-10 years ago
I used the vivid from Amazon, I know there is another higher end brand that looks even more real but the rolls go for as much as the real carbon pieces lol so vivid did it for me. If you don’t like it, you can just peel it off and your back to stock.

By the way totally off topic, I do have a 991.2 heated steering wheel with PDK paddles for sell on eBay, if anyone is interested feel free to take a look. Not sure if I am allowed to post the link here but there you go

Had the Rennline muffler delete cross pipe installed on my 2013 991 Carrera Cab. This added just the right amount of growl without any backfire (barking) sounds. Totally loving the sound. My Cayenne GTS does a lot more barking and growling with the PSE engaged although it has the V8. Now that's a angry sound when you get your foot into it. Props to my guys at Fifth Gear in Lewisville, TX for taking care of the install.

from the mock ups the estimate was 26-27 pounds front and 29-30 rear.
I was so excited to get them I didn't weigh them. But they are really light; I could tell that from picking up the boxes; the tech at Discount Tires also mentioned to me that he was surprised at how light they were.

Jbwthree, I love the exterior upgrades and low angle photo. The gray logo on the fins is a nice subtle touch, works well with your color.
