Cleaned the sticky radio ***** with alcohol. Great results!

Those sticky ***** drive me nuts. Q-tips and alcohol?

Thanks.

That looks really nice. Love the car color.

I went with the stock cables. I got a good deal from Porsche Atlanta Perimeter Parts.

Thanks.
I used microfiber and rubbing alcohol. I was careful not to rub too hard where the white arrows are. I actually was able to get the sticky off the face of the **** inside the white arrows. On the side a little bit of white started showing and I touched that up with black marker.

Not sure how long it lasts, but they feel great. Such a little thing goes a long way in the pleasure of using the car.

Suncoast sells replacement radio ***** for not very much money (unlike the HVAC toggles).

Installed torque soulution engine mounts..

Suttle but welcome changes. Just the right amount of cabin noise added at idle and maybe 4800 rpm, shifting just a little improved.. real change seems to be in the handling. Almost like I went to a slightly​ stiffer suspension. All very minor changes but it does make a difference.

Note: on 997.2, full airbox removal is not needed. Just the top part. This is a 35 - 40 min upgrade.

Replaced rear shocks on my 2007 C2S. Good way to tire yourself out.

Does you rear view mirror or any interior trim rattle now?

Not yet... All seems good. I'm cool with a little if it does happen after some miles.

I drove to Indy today and she feels nice.
