Full frontal (hood, bumpers, fender, a pillar, side mirrors and "rock panel area" in front of the rear wheel). Ceramic Pro coating and Xpel ultimate pro clear bra.

Was able to give her a nice bath and rip though a quarter tank

Stopped by an old gas pump I found along the way.. seemed like a cool pic.

Default Winter tires

I strapped some new winter tires on her in preparation for the winter months here in CT. Decided to keep the factory 19s and just swap tires. Local Porsche dealer actually had competitive pricing for mounting/balancing vs local specialist - so I kept it in the family. She’s an extra car, garage kept, I’m not too concerned about daily driving through snow. Just excited for those dry, cold winter days! It’ll be my first winter with a Porsche. Going to try and figure out the home cleaning process for salt and dirt. Read bad things about automated car washes, including “touch free” places. Maybe I can wait for a 40 degree day and run a hose from a house sink to the driveway? Lol.

Looks fantastic. I also have a meteor grey 997.2 and am running the 991 S PASM lip. Curious what suspension your running? Stance looks just right.

I did my bi-weekly floor mat scrubbing today at lunch time as they get dirty just looking at them (sand coloured interior and mats) and have to wait 2 days for them to dry :-(

Order a set in cocoa or black. If your interior is all beige, it's a nice contrast, and you have to clean them less often, which leaves more time for driving!
