Nice car and amazing price !!! Though, if I were you I'd take off that front bra and install a clear bra for protection ...

Personally, I don't have a clear bra or anything on my car but if you're going to have a bra on a porsche, you should have a clear one. Something so beautiful shouldn't be being anything else !!

Regarding the Bra...I couldn't agree more. Those pictures were from the seller who left the bra on the car. I left it on for the drive home and then removed and stored. It may come out for DE events but thats about it.

Thanks,

Mark

The car is also a little too low for daily driving. Since the coilovers are adjustable, I will probably raise it an inch. It currently sits at 25" on all 4 corners.

Congratulations and best of luck.

Regarding DE and the bra, I would strongly recommend NOT using that bra at a DE. It is virtually impossible to not get dirt/grit under that bra (assuming everything is dry...wet is another story all together) and for the bra to 'flap around' at speed, scratching the clearcoat.

If you prefer to not go the 3M clear bra route, I would suggest quick detailing the nose when you arrive at the DE, applying LOTS of wide 3M blue painter's tape to the nose, headlights, etc....and removing it once you're done. Looks funny, but works well and won't damage the paint.
