I feel ya! I'm not entirely sure if mine has a short shift kit on it, as I really don't have all that much of a frame of reference nor have I looked into it, but I have a feeling Kyle will be getting some of my hard earned $$ to tighten up the 951 before I go mad!

Yeah I was chasing a squeak/creak in the actuators and then decided I would clean and put some protectant on it while it was up, it was rather faded and clearly hadn't had much attention to it by the PO

Congrats!
Thanks! I really like the rims! The other half is not so hot on them. She wants something closer to what her Boxster had, something with a deep offset face. Those really made the Boxster pop, but I figure with just a spacer front and rear (7mm/14mm) and a set of H&R springs for that 1" drop on the 996, she might be persuaded. Any idea on an offset face rim that would weigh about the same?

Here is the Boxster's setup for reference...

Very nice car! Love the color If you need any assistance with taking the sound/performance up a notch, please feel free to reach out to me at any time. Word of wisdom, ditch those factory cats and tune it. Two biggest restriction points on the car haha.
