What did you do to your 996 today?

E88s. Might be a bit before they're actually mounted. Thanks to @zbomb for the unnecessary peer pressure.
I'm hoping I can line up a set of these for myself. Been working on it this evening, and the odds are looking better.
They look pretty nice. Are you going to need to refinish them or send them out?

Started paint correction after suspension refresh. This is just after cutting, still need to polish, but happy with the results so far.

Yes the carbon hood is so light but the white hood definitely looks better I’ll probably sell it to someone that wants it for their track car
the car show is pretty unreal considering we were next so many anti car young people who did show up in numbers

I put on my spare tire today after my month-old Michelin went completely flat from a failed month-old tire valve . The tire valve seemed cut at the base, so every bit of air came out of the tire. Hopefully the tire isn't damaged.
Rather than use the floor jack and a winter wheel, which were much handier, I decided to use the spare just to make sure all the tools were there and so I knew where everything was. Last time I used the spare was on my first 996.1 in the early 2000's, so I forgot where everything was. I don't think the spare had ever been used -- all the tools were there and it's actually a pretty nicely packed tool kit. The spare looked like it was inflated, but when I put it on the car it, it was at 4.7 PSI . I filled it back up to 60 PSI -- I think the spare just loses pressure slowly over 22 years. Moral of the story: It's probably not a bad idea to fill up your spare tire if you haven't done so in a long time.

There was a " Early Amber Glacier White/Savanna Aero " 99 with 50K miles available local to me for 25K a few years ago. I stopped and looked at it and talked to the salesman and told them how rare it was ( they had no idea) .....I should have worked a "trade deal " on My Sally for it but just couldn't turn loose of Sally...
