Appreciate it.
I was a little nervous making the jump as this will be a bit unique.

Suprsingly, in the GTS brochure, Porsche doesn't even recommend this interior with the Chalk exterior, which i found crazy.

It gets worse! Let me tell ya! The closer it gets the harder the wait. This is my first factory order. On the train now and expected at the dealer Aug 2. Now I'm just itching and can't sleep.

my wife calls it our German child.

Das Shield Lid Liner

https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1003012-lid-liner.html

Since you have CL's, wheel alignment tool

http://www.rennline.com/Centerlock-W...oductinfo/T06/

Ultimate cupholders

http://www.ultimatecupholders.com/containers.html

A good radar detector (as in, not Escort - Escort is like Bose: expensive and great marketing but not a great product)

PS - I like spending other people's money

Good Luck with your beautiful build.

I am looking forward to seeing you at the Birmingham cars and coffee in November. You should be easy to recognize with the chalk car and the big smile on your face.

Haha! Thanks.
I will take a look into all items mentioned.

I have an escort max 360 and love the directional abilities, but hate the limited distance. Not sure which direction to go...
