Looking for less brake dust (particularly the rears due to PSM) and a stronger initial bite for the street.
awesome, im seriously considering hawk ceramic for the low dust properties. Please let us know how it goes after couple of weeks.

Got the Moshammer ducktail and not posting pics yet cause there was some damage done I'm assuming from shipping. Packing left a lot to be desired. It was a night and day difference between how the DarwinPro spoiler was packed.

Anyway the build quality is awesome. My question to the experts is do I just tell the bodyshop my paint code or should I wait to actually have the car so they can try and match it? TIA.

Have them match to a body part. It’ll insure that the tint is the same.

About to order a Moshammer ducktail also so concerning to hear about the shipping/packaging esp with how much those cost.

definitely wait until you get the car for a perfect color match esp since most modern bodyshops utilize color matching technology that can account for any slight variables in the paint.

1000% wait - the colors NEVER match otherwise, especially if you have a metallic color where you will want to match the metallic "grain", IE how the metallic reflects . ..

However, to expedite, you could ask your body shop to prep the duck (the prep is 95% of the work) so once your hot rod arrives, they simply match the color and squirt it and you are done is a day or so. .

My brand new OEM 911 S/T seat centers with foam/passenger occupancy sensor arrived today. Finally! I can swap between these centers and my Alcantara centers.

Mathias at Black Harbor Garage got his hands on a set for me. When I first bought my LWB seats, he had a new set of S/T seat centers available. He ended up selling that set since I chose to retain the Alcantara centers. He got his hands on another new set and contacted me, so I jumped on it.
