I received a set of front and rear mats in black as a gift from my Porschefile uncle. Makes my Black and Tan (sand beige) look even better! Pedals and such still need a good cleaning.

Pulled the cover off, disconnected the battery charger, adjusted tire pressure, and drove her 160 km! First drive since Oct 31st. Like getting a new car.

Installed third radiator. It was a bummer as i had to adapt the 997.1 version for the 997.2. Eventually was able to put it on but putting the bumper back was difficult. Its on now and i know its more benefitial for cars used on the track but i feel more comfortable with it on now.

Joined the front DRL brigade, biggest PITA was getting the OEM lights out, seeing the youtube videos I thought it would be quick & easy but found myself being uber careful when I couldn't get them out after the first 5 or so tries with the card.
Easiest part for me was the diode mod

I had to removed the front bumper to get them installed. I am not sure if it's my front GT3RS bumper or what. I just couldn't get it out, with multiple credit cards which I mutilated. OEM card from Porsche, nothing seems to work. Super easy once the front bumper was removed.

Took it in for a DE Tech inspection and oil change. Some fresh motul xcess and the tech discovered a nail in the rear tire.
MPSS with about 10k and 5 track days on them so they were nearing the end if life anyways. I was hoping to get another weekend out if them but the nails of progress have ruined it. Darn neighbors.

Cutie! Lucky girl who gets to ride in a Porsche. Like mine (13, girl, and 9, boy) when Mom takes them to school.

Clear corners arrive today from Suncoast. Will slip them on tonight after wifey goes to bed (I like to surprise her; we'll see if she notices).
