Haven't really noticed the fans. Maybe I'm not driving hard enough?! I do tend to slow things down once I start getting closer to home.

LMK if you end up doing Carbonite Detailing on Father's Day. I'm 10 minutes away and still waiting on my car.

I don't use front plates unless I'm traveling over bridges and through tunnels, etc. I use Craig's hidden mount.

I left that point out of my comparison: size. I prefer a small, tight car. To that end, I like the 718 size better.

I think the problem is with our non-sport bumpers having active aero…the grill needs to be too far out. They sell them or I suppose u can make ur own but I don’t think it looks good being flush with bumper. unless someone has other ideas….would like to hear.

Great seeing many taking delivery of their T's. Mine was released for transport on May 16 and is awaiting transport to my dealer in North Carolina.

Which one of Craig's mount did you use to fit a SD bumper?

Springbok Air? Did one of the African bush pilots come to visit you in Princeton?

What region are you in? Mine was delayed another month as well. Been sitting at port since end of April. As much as I hate to say it, I am anticipating more delays.

The one that I put on my 2018 GT350 worked on my Cayman. It looks like it would work on most any car with a flat surface. It's this unit:

@tourenwagen U my need to step it up a bit on ur Meet poster image. I may need to order custom T-shirts for all attendees as gifts to entice more to join us

@Uhu agree, full removal. If the whole script typically needs replacement unless you want a janky adhesive job. better shops have a template for replacement.

note to self, takes one hour to skim this forum and catch up.

THURSDAY, Picked up on from @PorscheColumbus, smooth paperwork, non-hard sale on the protection add-ons. Recommend!

Next 1.5 hrs (really) was trackwrapping the high contact areas for the scary few mile drive thru the hood to PPF penitentiary. Nothing like being in a clear glass adult garage cage in business professional sweating *** off whilst the staff chuckles(!)











nothing like a gt2rs in the background

excuse my dirty 958 daily. scratch PPF installer off plan B!

and yes, lost the tire lottery!
