Hey Bruce - What front bumper and splitter do you have? I could probably find it looking through posts but thought I'd ask.

BTW looks like an awesome museum. It's rare to see so much armor in one place!

Thanks,
Steve

Was short 2 quarts for oil change so gonna try Porsche's official 5W-50. The other 7 quarts are Mobil 1 5W-50.





Says "Engineered in Weissach" and "Made in Germany", don't know if that refers to the can or oil where it was engineered and produced.

Picked it up from a suspension refresh: New struts/shocks, upper mounts, bearings, bump stops, dust boots, rear tires. More cowbell: Tarrett GT3-style adjustable rear bar/links.
Shenandoah Valley shakedown cruise, coming up!

Mixing oils is not a good thing, it's all about the base ingredients. Some aren't compatible and render the oil severely degraded.

Yes, it was.
Squirrel - went to the website, a little confused, will it fit my 03 C2? I have the stock bumper.

The cup lip will fit the non-aero .2 cover with a Dremel trim on the ends which extend about an inch past the wheel arch. Had one on mine and it looks stellar…makes the visual much more balanced.

Same fit with nicer finish on ‘street’ “SQ” version. I bought race quality cuz these are expendables to me.
