https://stripegarage.com/collections...-decal-stripes - just for reference, mine are "light gray" but from a distance the contrast makes them look more white - but they match the wheels pretty well.

Did you just lay the stripe on top of the rear fender stone guards ? Can't see it from your pics.

I did. You need to be careful at the edges to make sure they stick tight - I'll see if I can get some pics later today

I had my tips ceramic coated by Darrin at FD in flat black + my mufflers done in his flat grey color (titanium?). I am very happy with the result. On my previous cars, I had a custom straight through exhaust that was painted in BBQ hi temp flat black paint. Every once in a while, I would look at the downpipe/straight pip/exhaust/muffler/tip and see some spots looking not so fresh, unbolt the exhaust, rough up the preexisting paint, and respray it with the hi temp BBQ paint. It looked great. People would ask me what the "coating" was. haha. BBQ!!

Took a while but finally got around to replacing my PCM 3.0 in my 997 MKII to a HUR from Sony which enables Car Play and Android Play as well as a back-up camera. The good thing with this Sony unit is that it has an actual volume **** instead of just the touch screen controls. Who wants to use touch screen controls when that volume **** will always be there when you reach out for it without taking your eyes off the road!

The HUR from Sony is model XAV AX100 with NAV-TV interface because of the BOSE System.

So this unit does not require any additional devices to work with the Bose fiber amp? Any issues with alternator whine?

EDIT - don’t mind me, I get it now. You got the Nav TV MOST unit.

So the Nav TV MOST allows the Bose fiber amp to work properly? I still like to know if it causes alternator whine.
