that sounds like a great idea!!!
I also routed a USB cable behind the dash trim so I can plug my iPhone that has a magnetic vent clip to listen to my Spotify playlist.




iPhone attached via magnet vent holder




USB cable routed behind PCM trim and plugged into glovebox for iPhone music streaming

Nice. Would you mind posting some more side profile shots with a bit more details of the brakes? I am on the fence about getting the brakes painted red - I haven't pulled the trigger since I've been told they can look pretty small on the base C2.

How much did they charge for the wheels if you don't mind me asking?

200 for matte and 250 for gloss. autoflex is the higher end dip.
Hit up Joe Kilgallon - 856-265-1945

They had a great show booth at the auto show this year.

The front brakes are bigger than the rears as always. But since I had my wheels dipped, the stock brake color didn't stand out which is why I went this route. SCP has other colors as well.

We have Porsche dealers all across the country including local that sell, install and maintain warranty on our products That being said, there is no difference between exhaust brands in regards to warranty coverage as you are protected under the Magnusson Moss Act.

That being said, as you are local I'd love for you to stop by our shop in Fort Washington if you haven't already. Always a pleasure meeting a local petrolhead, regardless of what exhaust they are running lol. I'll give you a tour of our showroom and an insight look at the product development we do. We always have some cool stuff going on, such as the F488 on the dyno now that gained over 100whp/130wtq with just exhaust and a tune. We also just finished our full product line for the brand new 991.2 PSE and Non-PSE Turbo Carreras

Thanks John! Didn't mean to say anything negative and your showroom is definitely an amazing place from the photos you shared. Will gladly take you up on your offer.

Its all good, I didn't take it that way haha. Might be going to Cars and Coffee Saturday morning in West Chester if you'd be interested. If so shoot me a PM so I drool over your car in person rather than through a computer
