A clean 997 is a thing of beauty, but you can't see the dirt all that well from the driver's seat!

Added spacers on Friday. Washed, waxed, vacuumed, cleaned windows and wiped down the interior. It's so purr-ty now.




So shiny and clean!

How did the PDK flush go? I was under the impression you needed special software/tools for it.

Yes, I am lucky to have access to a garage that has a piwis. And and experienced mechanic to watch over a diy like me.

AMP track day sponsored by our local dealer (Harper Porsche). Super nice event and learned a ton. Great cars and great fun. Then home to clean off the surprising amount of rubber glued to various parts of the car - easy to spot it on white. Left quite a bit of my brand new 200 miles young PSS tires on the track too!

New Cargraphic carbon wide fenders received. They add 1.0" clearance to each side up front.

When you pick them up, it is crazy to feel how light they are. The side with the gas filler is about 4.8 pounds, where the drivers side is even lighter, at just 4.1 pounds.

The carbon/kevlar weave on the backside looks very nice, and the overall workmanship is beautiful.

Cant wait to get them on the car
