+ tore's solution is brighter and goes nicely with rear tails to added some additional brightness for the texting crowd

On the front part, I ended up reusing the captive screw from the old skirts and it all fit up well. You'll need to drill the skirts underneath for all the nut plates and the like but just go slowly and they'll turn out well.

Went out for a run today on some twistie's near here and was surprised to see a silver 993 coupe heading in the other direction having fun with his tail up. Followed later by a red Boxster. Seemed unusual, as BMW's are common as sparrows but 993's and even early Boxster's are rare up here.

New LCA/bushings, T96 steering wheel, steering rack bushings, and ER Bump Steer Correcting Tie Rod Kit. Alignment was waaaay off after so just wrapped that up as well.

Saturday went to a car show, was the only 993 there, less than 10 Porsches ( 2 914's, couple of 356's, a Cayman, a Boxter). Tons of American muscle. https://cruisingdowntownmanchester.com/
Probably around 1,000 cars. From cars with wooden spokes to the newest ones.

Ha, Manchester NH on Labor Day Weekend, and you were expecting German Car Day? Hope all is well, HalfGerman.

Removed the center console switch assembly. Really like how it turned out. This winter, a new singer style center console will go in.

how does your vw cup holder slide onto the 993 center console?

Imo the two cup holder that fits in the back of the center console from Pelican looks decent but not sure how good that one is at this Link
