Negative - they make a crest insert for HRE wheels, which are the rims I have on the vehicle. I'm open to other options for getting the crest on these wheels but so far Boothe is the only one I've found. At $95 a pop I just want to hear if anyone else has used them.

Does the car have an onboard computer in the tach or is it the analog trip odometer that isn't working?

Benton- the onboard computer in the tach is the issue. The display is fine and I can cycle through the screens and even reset the averages but no new information is logged. Speedometer, outdoor temp, miles-to-empty, etc. don't change at all. Any ideas?

I would really appreciate some feedback from any Houston-area members on repair shop recommendations other than the local Porsche dealers. She is nearly perfect but I need to get the following items checked out:

1. Trip Computer Not Working
2. Passenger Side Mirror does not adjust with Remote Control
3. Spare Key & Remotes (PO only had one key with no remote)
European Auto Techniks (281-873-5111)...Michael Cawley is very experienced, knowledgeable, and extremely detailed. He knows p-cars inside and out. Great guy too.
