Had a ladder in my garage fall on it. Two good size dents on the right front fender. I was able to work the paint scuffs out. I have a PDR guy coming out Monday to smooth it over.

Replaced the door lever inside my driver's side door... so glad that it doesn't flop around anymore nor rattle when hitting bumps in the road.

Found out that one of the popping door tabs was broken by a previous owner/shop but not a big deal since there were still 6 or 7 others not to mention the five screw in points.

not yet, i haven't had the chance to take it to a tech with a piwisII to code it to turn back on the multifunction as well as my rear wiper - but i swapped the main steering computer (and moved over my existing stalk modules) - so everything will work.

I agree. Have seen much worse in terms of protruding tips ill250 was concerned about. Going by the pictures I really don't see a problem.

Added new to me Turbo IV wheels after having them refinished in full Dark Titanium. Matching caps with silver crest. Original design had machined type face over dark titanium and machined wheel caps. Plus new GT2 side skirts and Speedtech X pipe. Its really coming together the way I envisioned.

Shout out to L.A.P. on the wheel sale. Easy to work with seller - and did me a solid.

Replaced worn clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. Car shifts like a dream now. I'm back in love.

Installed new black rear fender protection decal. Took a while to decide what I wanted to do to ad some color to all that red... it was either a black porsche decal that run along the lower portion of the car, or the black fender protector.....decided on the later and Wow, this ain't gonna be one of those mmmm not sure moment, cause I really like how it turned out.

Got rid of these, and yes, there is a difference

Not perfect, but will hopefully help keep this daily driver cleaner.
