Installed new valve stem caps. Every detail matters
This look really nice!
I've had nice valve stems in the past (2x) and they've been stolen. I drive my car anywhere/everywhere, like airport, etc. I never have had serious issues, except for these - which is minor, really.

Just be careful where you park...
Thanks for the nice words and the warning. It happened to me as well in a previous car. Will be very careful where I park.
Gave mine a much needed bath today. Did the waterless wash and shine inside my garage, since it's been too cold for the past few weeks to do a water-wash (high temperature today was 43F), and the forecast is showing that it's not going to get warm anytime soon...
Changed tires and pads back from track to street. Changed out my front rotor bolts in the process, since they seemed just a bit stripped at the phillips head when I recently changed to 350mm GiroDiscs. They were $0.49 each at the dealer and I got some crush washers for oil changes while I was there.
Anyway, washed it and then also washed out my track wheels, which I think it going to be part of the routine. It's so nice to grab nice clean wheels when it's time to head back out to the track.
So glad to get it clean since I got a whole lot of oil on the front at the track, since I was following some guy who's car was spitting at me for a whole lap, but that's another story...
Last point to make - met up with fellow R-lister, GTS Sully, who is local and came to see a bit of the brake changeover. Nice to meet local compadres!
Pleasure to meet you, Jack! Learned quite a few little tid bits in less than 30 minutes time with you.
what is it? don't think i've seen this before, cool, i am still looking for something to generate a little downforce on the front when i need it...and ... tia
Today I reinstalled the little rubber bumper between the sunroof inner and outer panel at the front. There were three, one disappeared, one fell into my lap (fortunately) and one was still stuck on. Being down one bumper I removed the one left and put both of them equidistant from the center using outdoor double-sided tape. Seems to be as solid as it was with the three originals.
Then I glued the rubber strip at the rear of the sunroof. I had replaced it once before, it comes with double-side tape, but that didn't last long in this heat. The rubber was fine, so I used a little trim adhesive this time.
Finally I removed the carpeted panel under the rear window, which I suspected of squeaking (I had taken it off earlier in the year to re-dye it and coat it with UV blocker spray), and put it back with a dab of RTV silicone on all the clip attachments.
Rn car sitting in the garage overnight with windows open as the stuff outgasses vinegar-smell as it cures.

Shiny!
Good lord. That looks great! What exactly is this magic waterless potion you used?

I agree that is interesting... What IS that front lip?
Past few days. Getting aerokit front bumper painted at painter. I took off original bumper. Also I am painting the bottom lip as I dislike the color matched bottom lip of the aero kit and prefer the black look of the GT3 Version That being said, I am using plasty dip to do it. Provides a rubberized type finish and also easy to touch up when the inevitable scrapes happen
I have to admit that this bumper was much easier to take off then other cars or that I could have imagined.
Had entire front bumper repaired (numerous chips and dings) and painted. Can't tell the difference. I also had factory PSE installed today and will show pics tomorrow. Sounds and looks great!
