Removed clear in preparation for detail. 8 years since installation of clear bra.
Forgot what "carrera white" looks like.

Replaced the starter. Thanks to the write ups on this forum it was quite doable and a very welcome improvement to have it start up so eagerly now. $200 diy vs $1500 from the dealer. Thanks to all those who add valuable write ups here.

Added some new wheels and eibach springs. I hope there's some settling in the springs, barely closed any wheel gap from the stock springs.

I have about 100 miles on the car since then. Is it more of a time or mileage for settling?

Looks good. That gap looks much smaller than stock already. See these example threads with measurements:

I had my 2008 997.1 code changed so now all of those tpms warnings and false readings are gone forever. So nice to not have to run with overinflated tires.

Bless me father, for I have sinned. Drove it in the rain to a PCA event.
