Installed my new clear LED side marker lights... what a difference!!! Took all of about 2 minutes, no tools.

Enzo needs a pedicure. Gotta keep your leather safe.

Enzo was the name of the dog in the book (soon to be movie) The Art Of Racing In The Rain.

I measured it and all is good. It's just the picture angle I was trying to keep my reflection out.

Folks out there have any issues with using regular detail spray on ceramic coatings?

Talking

Was going to swap her for the new guy on the block but after a few drives (now that the snow and other bad weather has cleared); I couldn't pull the trigger. So bought my 991 a new playmate and daily driver. You only live once right!

After trying several USB > Lightning cables to find the easiest CarPlay hookup, I ordered the $36 OEM accessory cable.

Features that I like:
• The USB end swivels to avoid straining the cable connector
• The Lightning end has a 90° bend to require a minimum of console space
• The coiled cable is just the right length (10” coiled to 24” extended) and never tangles

It’s the most hassle-free solution I’ve found so far. Still hoping for a decent wirelesss workaround someday, however.

Oh yeah, I did BUY and Install a tune from Softronic to take advantage of the new exhaust system .... new tune seems to be quite good and made the car a bit more responsive -as judged by the butt-o'meter - tried to do a dyno but it turns out the speed shop I went to had no idea how to dyno a late model Porsche and I ended up with nothing. And, unfortunately the others I contacted only were interested in selling me a new tune...... so Ill just be one of those guys that says "that tune I paid a whole bunch of money for it's gotta be worth 40 or 50 hp at least".
Interested in the street headers. Would love to see your thoughts on them.
