Mike Cap,

I think your coupe needs some speed yellow "Z-28"-type stripes.

How have you been?

Martin,

Hello!! You know that SY is my second favorite color, so maybe. Family and business are going well as I hope they are with you as well. My car is at the shop in Syr to have the M030 springs installed - we are lowering it exactly 1" to reduce some of the SUV look.

The only downer is that I believe one of my daughters "borrowed" the Porsche tee-shirt you gave me. It has been missing for two weeks, about the time that my SU student was home for T'giving. The search will continue....

Take care and yell when you're Upstate again.

Didn't notice the absence of headlight washers ;-) I did however notice the absence of a Porsche crest ! And that looks suprisingly good !!!

Hmmm....

Greg the crest is actually still there...We are getting ready to buff out the entire car so I didnt put it back on. I have the silver crest and I must say it looks AMAZING on the Arena Red....I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone

Chris,
Your paintwork looks superb.
I'm going to respray my front bumper (stone chips etc..) and now you've got me debating whether or not to spray the hood and front fenders too as they also
have their fair share of stone chips. If you don't mind my asking...What did your bodyshop charge? Did you strip the hood yourself?

Matt.
P.S. I won't be removing the washers, because I'm one of the proud few who actually
uses them up here in the messy Northeast - Heck, maybe you should send me yours
so I can install "quad" washers to deal with all the crap that was on the road this morning!!

Great idea...i don't even know if my headlight washers work since i've never used them.

Phil- What kind of ram air thingy do you have in mind? All I'm envisioning is a pitot tube to measure airspeed (in case you get airborn) or a deer whistle. Hmm maybe a straw-sized air duct to cool your headlight bulbs?
