A few hours into the evening with a heat gun, and my car no longer looks like a Fast and Furious reject!

I put the Mr. 12 Volt unit in years ago, it's been great. It is a little counter intuitive how to change input sources. I use the Aux input for my Sirius XM Onyx portable and bluetooth for my phone, I haven't tried the micro SD card reader.

How funny! Great color on these cars but Im biased.

I was after the GT2 but the guy said he isnt selling right now it so I bought the TT 6.5K miles on BAT from the guy I bid against a year ago on BAT.

Fast fwd 3 weeks later he calls and says he is selling the GT2 w 11K miles and I couldnt pass it up.

Now there are 2 speed yellow 996's and my Signal Yellow RS. My wife calls me big bird but I dont here anything. Bliss.

This would be much easier, and the AUX and mic could still be routed back into the cabin.

The wheels on the Turbo came out very nicely; good look against the yellow.

18x10/13 with a 275/35 and 335/30/18 works well on these cars also. Ran that for many years.

That is a great looking wheel, that's about as much rubber as one can run...

New tires, cleaned calipers and installed spacers. 8mm/18mm no rubbing, lowered on stock twists with factory size tires. Decent Saturday before we burn up here in Arizona!

I do that sometimes, too. Since I have a portable Sirius XM device I use that as much as I can, moving it from car to car and in my shop too, it saves on phone data.
