Did you DIY the cats also? I remember your excellent post on the headers...
Yep, that was a DYI installation as well. Probably the toughest mod I’ve done from a physical strength perspective as you have to hold a lot of parts as you bolt em up.
For those paying attention here on RL, that screen-capture is worth thousands of words. Great post.
Thank you so much! This made my day. I've taken from this group for so long, it makes me feel good to think I finally contributed a little something.

I am sure they will be too tall, that's why I also ordered the low-profile floor jack. I plan to use them as stands that I can raise or lower when I want the whole car up. For the front, it'll be a procedure, having to first raise the car with the floor jack, put something under the wheel, lower it, then use the Powerbuilt. For the rear, I think I can use regular ramps to get it high enough for the Powerbuilt. I'll try to update.
I was thinking about upgrading to a wall mount electric pressure washer. Searched around a bit and found a YouTube video of the Obsessed Garage guy showing off a Kranzle unit. PERFECT. Exactly what I wanted to do. Then I watched a video of him reviewing the cheap SunJoe unit I've been using for a year and a half. After watching that video there was no way in the world I was giving that guy a penny of my money. Ever. But he does have a cool site and a section for SunJoe upgrades. So I put together the upgrades I wanted from there and bought them elsewhere. Last of the new goodies are sitting on my doorstep at home right now. Can't wait to try it all out tonight as I prep my car for the ProSolo in Grenada this weekend.
Instead of paying $350 for the grill mesh...got some materials from custom car grill and DIY-ed it for about 70 bux and 3 hrs of time. Was a little worried about removing the front bumper since i can never get things to aligned perfectly afterward (and i am ocd so even if its a little off i will notice it) but at the end it wasnt that bad. Now i dont have to be constantly worrying about rocks busting my radiators. (is really bad here in socal, a frd of mine had his share on a BMW last month)
Looks really nice. If you don't mind sharing, which mesh sheet did you purchase and how much was needed? Also, did you add the gasket around the edges and how attached?
Sorry for all of the questions but would love to duplicate your efforts.
I ordered it from their website. The mounts are car and detector specific and extremely well made. Not cheap but they are the "Porsche of Radar Detector Mounts"...). It was $130 after 12.5% referral discount. You can use this link to get the same discount Blendmount 12.5% discount. (I'll get a credit as well). I had it hardwired at a local car audio dealership for $80, but you can do it too if you are handier than me .
Thanks! I have mine hardwired already (pretty easy to do)

16x48 is plenty of material for it, i did get the gasket but didnt end up using it since it wont be touching anything that's painted. You do however have to remove the front bumper for the install.
Bought the third radiator kit from Suncoast for my carerra t. I live in a South Florida and my car is tuned-making about 100hp more than stock. I figure it can’t hurt-turbo cars seem to run hot and I don’t want to take any chances. Lots of pieces to install!!! Also got a Porsche Motorsports bear And the coiled iPhone charging/CarPlay cable thanks to this thread!
