Yep.

The hit was at the lower left; glad the windshield took it instead of the paint.

I should have included the date of my windshield replacement; it was in January 2013.

where did you do that? if I knew a dealership was a grand I'd just do that. I think it's closer to 2k here in la.

Elite/Safelite was the installing company. They went to Stevinson Porsche in Denver to get the actual OEM glass. I was off a bit (found the original receipt)...paid $757.21 all in. Broke down to $606.79 for glass and $100 for labor the rest was tax.

thats amazing and encouraging ross. i can only hope to be in that ballpark. thx for the info.

( add: i went to a saflite location and they wouldn't touch to or talk about it?! as i recall!?)

adit ( last ?) did you let it cure overnight? or any other precautionary ,measures? or just install and drive??

thx again....

Keep in mind this was 2007... had the windscreen replaced at their garage. I watched the whole thing (probably pissed them off), they were extra cautious. When it was done I drove off...nothing special although it is quite dry in CO and it is kept in a garage...LOL

well, i appreciate it. nothing has gone down in price since 09 except gold lol.. so i'll start shopping soon and your figures will help! thx again.

First DIY oil change. Rotella T6, all the parts, new torque wrench, oil drain container that holds 16qts... And it overflowed, due to not being able accomdate the flow, down my driveway. Four score minutes, and two roll of paper towels later, we're done.

A wash and took off 3 days worth of track rubber on the body.

Did the 997 SSK upgrade. Or more specifically, had my mechanic, Mike Schatz do it. Very happy with the result after I got used to the 'it must not be all the way into first' feeling. So, I'm now officially on the slippery slope - with a non-stock mod.

No more foggy headlights. . . or headlights for that matter.




Also, the 2WD conversion parts I designed are fresh out of the machine shop:



Weigh HALF of the stock torn down axle stubs, unsprung & rotational mass.
