Are you here in NorCal or down in SoCal?

Gorgeous car, great buy!

If the bluetooth is not to your liking I put one of these in, takes 10 minutes:

the Bluetooth actually works really well. There must be a hidden amp and it's spliced directly into the front speakers so it plays over the radio. As long as I mute the radio first it was actually very clear!

Nice!! I'm looking at a polar silver tmrw. as well.
I prefer Arctic but this one is a one owner, so might be worth a look.

There should be a button (it may be remote) you can push that shuts the unit off after it reports "shifting"...which means it is jamming laser. There is on mine anyway.

Congrats, looks great! As others have said that seems like a really solid price considering the market these days.

Beautiful car and a good deal! Keep in mind that if you change the front lip to something other than the aero lip, you will effect the aerodynamic balance of the car which will result in slightly more lift in the front. Especially if you use a C4 lip. Like someone else said, knock off aero lips are the cheapest lips you can buy on ebay. I would use one of those.

I’ve heard that, I’ve also heard that it’s just something Porsche said to avoid selling the individual pieces.

The aero lip just sticks out too far forward and too low for my very short and steep driveway.

Hopefully my car doesn’t fly away with the c4s lip

Haha, you'll be ok on any North American highway. You will notice the front end get light and floaty above 120 mph though.
It definitely is not just something Porsche says.
If you ever get a chance to hit those speeds with and without the Aero lip, let us know if you feel a difference.

How did the non aero cars manage? Does the rear spoiler somehow provide extra front downforce? As far as I know the side skirts are the same, just painted.
