My 1st Porsche
Hey everyone -
I have learned a lot from reading all your posts over the last year. This week, we bought our 1st Porsche. We love it! It will be a daily driver/family hauler. I have signed up with PCA and am excited to take the car to some local (Arizona) club events. Any Rennlisters in AZ?
If I have done this correctly, here is a quick pic of the car.
Just wanted to say hey.

Very nice car! Must be anti-climatic to have so much attention given to the beautiful stand on which you placed the car. <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Me and my garage floor appreciate it! 
Regarding the floor: I did it myself, it was very easy. The stain is "Primary Coatings - Transparent Concrete Stain" and the color "Brown Brick". On top of that is their clear gloss sealer. I bought it at Lowes, Depot doesn't carry it. If anyone wants further instructions, I'd be glad to help.
Someone actually asked about the car, the interior specifically. I have the window sticker, and the interior color was done to sample. So, I don't think it is a standard solor, but it is a white linen color.
For cosmetic mods, I have already replaced the pop-up cassette holder with a change tray. I still want to chrome my exhaust tips and get the clear corner turn signals. I was checking out Gert's site and the clear signals mention not working with bumberettes. Based on the pic of my car, am I out of luck?
Thanks again - John

No, your not out of luck.
There is a source that modifies them to fit US bumpered cars. Someone on this board has them on their car because I remember seeing a picture of them.
If someone else could jump in and give a link to where they could be purchased because that I don't know.

BBDad: Try these (http://www.ajusa.com/cgi-bin/inventory/view_product?prod_id=0000000279&part_number=AJR%20631%20061%2006%202SH)
You'll need this shortened version. You will also need the amber dual-filament bulb replacement from Autozone as the one in the clears is a single. I just did the swap and it took 10 minutes (all right: I'm slow!). Awesome, cheap upgrade.

Welcome. Nice car, but then most of us have a nice car - but that floor ... wow
Re: clear turn signals, mine were from Rennlist sponsor AJ-USA (good pricing & excellent service). Here's a thread with more details:
