My wife gave me the LED light kit from Suncoast Porsche for my birthday. Installed the lights last night. The LEDs really make a difference. I really like having the extra light in the cabin.

great gift. Great wife!

I've gone the cheaper route and installed LED bulbs from other vendors, but I've also done the Suncoast LED light package. It's a very smart thing they did, packaging them up the way they do. Very much worth the investment, in my opinion. However, I can't ever see my wife taking enough interest in my car (or me) to buy me anything for it.

Cudos to your wife, and Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the B-day wishes!

I did have to send her the link to the Suncoast web site so I would get the right lights. However, this was better than the last two birthday presents I got because I bought what I wanted and then she "gave" the present to me on my birthday.

Took her out from under the storage cover and brought her up to temp in the frozen tundra of MN for about an hour today. It was +4F but sunny with dry highway roads. Next up is a no rinse wash & wax in the heated garage and then back under the cover until spring (or another clear dry day). Fun Sunday indeed!

Traced the outline and made a vector drawing of my car's rear.
