I've installed a Parrot mki kit. Very pleased with the result!

Washed and ready to take my 6 year old grandson to Cars & Coffee tomorrow. When we get back he gets to change the oil!

Went to a PCA DE today (first time) and had a blast! Also found out that Bridgestone S-04s are pretty sticky.

One thing you might consider, is leaving the inner tips the OEM gloss black, and just ceramic coating the outer shrouds. I think the contrast in textures/finishes is nice. I ceramic coated my C2S non-PSE tips "black," and they were really a dark gray. For my GTS, I recently did a GTS/"regular" PSE tips swap with another RLer, where one person ends up with gloss black inner tips and matte black shrouds, and the other gets silver matte shrouds with polished inner tips. Just my humble opinion, but matte gray outer and inner tips would be a bit too monochromatic. Then again, maybe that's the look you're going for? Cheers.

Placed an inquiry under 'parts wanted' for OEM winter wheel set for my 09 C4S. Hoping to find reasonably priced 18" set with or without tires within drive of Philadelphia area.

Went on a short run to exercise the unicorn, then got some bug goo off, and then the real chore of the day, removing all the leaves and locusts from the front radiator grill. Holy smokes there's a lot of bugs accumulated since I did it last summer! After that, used Griot's Rubber and Vinyl dressing on the P-car.

When life gets too crazy in China, as it often does, I head over to calm, beautiful and sophisticated Taiwan and chill out. I'm surprised I haven't seen your car outside one of the many swank whisky bars or cafes in Da An district. It seems like it would be its natural environment, haha. Btw, PM me if you want to discuss maybe using a 2.7RS inspired decal on the duck tail. I think the modern "Carrera" decal works, but it also kind of sits at odds a little bit with the vintage "PORSCHE" beneath it. FWIW, I like it without the new decal, as in the last photo. Lastly, please post more shots of your very cool car! Thanks.
Ten Years,
Really? Whereabouts in Cali? I used to live in the East Bay near San Francisco but have been in Taiwan for a while now. But, nah, I try not to do the drink and drive stuff but do occasionally take it to Monet Coffee up in the mountains nearby.
I was and have been looking at those decals of your too. Will PM you later.

Actually the space beside me has a hole so deep that no one will park in it and my employees have the next three spots. I understand that no space is perfectly safe and idiots are everywhere, but its a pretty good spot.

Its so nice to know she is waiting for me at the end of the day.

After chewing up a tire sidewall, today I replaced my Porsche Sport Classic Wheels with a much lighter Champion wheelset I'd picked up on this list and had been keeping in storage.
