just noticed your 3rd brake lamp appears to have failed?

i use an led replacement that (iirc) is of european origin. it's been so long, i haven't needed to change it out again. it is bright, with a capital "B".

do you know what aftermarket wing that is? it seems to be techart x strosek related but i can't pin it down.

Break lights are working. Just not using it i. The pic.
​​​​​​Wing is techart type 1 knockoff. A lot of different vendors. I think it is the best looking. A mix of 996gt2 and 997tt. I like it.

It was the connector of the left rear abs sensor. Just as the code reader said. I soldered the wiring and molded a new connector in epoxy. Just a temporary fix until I get new oem connectors which I wil source from a parts car

​​​​Cleared all codes on no problem.

Old conector:

I must say that I am not a fan of red wheels at all, but on your car they work great. You really transformed the car into your own. Beautiful build.

So, done some bling stuff but I am still not decided that I want to keep it.that way:

Had a turbo logo laying around an put it on the dash, Still not decided if i like it

Dashboard logo Hot or Not?

Painting lower lip with plastidip. Holds up much better. Success!

When doing the roof wrap I also changed the sunroof seal. Car is much quieter. Success.

Wrapping for the first time. Tucking the vinyl under the seals was actually the easiest part.

Took the surplus wrap and made a windows visor just for fun.

Final result of first time wrap. It is a 4 out of 10 job. There are 3 really visible creases but rest of job is ok. I will keep it for a while, but it really should be redone by a pro.

posing..
