The Precision is a reasonable value at 2K. I purchased one this winter and the fit was perfect, except the underside was way too long. We had to make a template of the OEM underside mounting bolt holes using the OEM bumper and trim the "under the car section" to match the OEM bumper. Other than that, it fit exceptionally well. Around the headlights, side markers, everything is like OEM - looks perfect, fit perfectly. With the underside trimmed, that looks and fits perfectly, as well. I am very happy with it.

Washed it and went out for a drive. When I got back home, I thought to myself, I'll leave it outside for a while, so I parked the car right in front of the garage. I then went over to my parents house which is across the road.

While sitting there, I see a guy driving up and he parks his car right in front of my driveway, gets out and walks in, "hovering" around my car. I started thinking "boy get off my property before I go Chuck Norris on your ***". He did a few laps around the car, looked around and went back to his car and drove off.

I think he was just interested in the car, as sports cars, especially Porsches, are basically nonexistent around here.

But then I started thinking more...well, let's just say I'm prepared if someone tries anything.

Was headed out to a black tie event, decided that was a good time to drive the turbo. Pulling out the garage my wife tells me they'll be valeting cars there. Hit the garage door back open, pulled in and parked it. No way.

Installed RennLine Aluminum pedal set. Happy with the install. These should be standard on these cars...

I put mine up for sale - 112,000 miles, six speed, like God intended. Relatively good shape, given the mileage. One owner car until about a year ago, and maintained, until about a year ago, at Porsche of Tyson's Corner in the DC area. Wish I could keep it, but the financial situation has shifted a little.
