Talking 99 Cabriolet - First Post

Hello Rennlist Community!
I've been lurking for a few weeks, since I bought my 1999 911 Carrera Cabriolet (Ocean Blue Metallic!). I have to say, this board is a great resource, so thanks to everyone who has posted useful info here.
I didn't find Rennlist until after I bought my Porsche, which is bad, and good. Bad, because I didn't get a PPI. Good, I suppose, because if I HAD read this board extensively, I doubt I'd have purchased the car at all
Just had a POST purchase inspection, and no major issues. The car has 50,000 miles, basically stock (with hardtop). Needs a rear window now, brakes soonish, tires soonish, a clutch eventually.

I have LOTS of questions that I haven't found in my searches. But first, pictures...

Cabs are the only Real Porsches. Good choice.

LOL - since we have opted to go down THAT road - clears and amberectomy for sure... then fix that paint that the PO looks like he drove it thru the automatic car washes - this is one that would benefit from body color bumperetts in the rear too - then we will talk "ride height"
Zaino is good on the dark colors

hold on to your wallet.... we like to spend YOUR money !
