How did they determine the MOST converter would work? I have a 2003 with MOST and was told by Tore at BergvilleFX that theirs would not work for my car. Still trying to determine if that's an avenue I could go with or if I need to replace the amp as well.

Friday was pick up the car after it was down two weeks due to the alternator bracket breaking.

Yesterday was picking up $1,000 of various trim pieces, hardware, etc from the dealer to replace pieces that are mysteriously missing/broke on the car.

I did the double din in my 03 C4S with most and did not change the factory amp. I'm happy with mine.

Touched up my cowl trim while I was ceramic coating a client's wheels. Looks much better, now I need to do all the plastic in the frunk.

Default Center console replaced

I replaced the scratched Savannah beige center console to this black one. Did the same for the ignition key hole trim as well. All the rest of the scratched areas, I repainted with Porsche spray paint by LVP Refinisher.
Installed Comp plenum from IDP as well as Sharkwerks Vflow Air intake and tuning. Currently installing LN IMS solution kit for peace of mind.

Interior of 2004 911 Cab.

I really like the black and beige combo. Maybe I should swap my carpet.

This is what I've heard/read also. Thought we had to replace the full amp system, which from CAI is over $1k, not including stereo, etc. so hadn't done it yet. Seems difficult to get a clear answer on this for whatever reason.

The lift comes with an extra set of hands, an experienced tech with all the tools in the shop should I need something, so why not? I can wait...But, I sure am anxious to get this done.
Right now I'm dealing with a stripped T-stat bolt
