You needed to remove the center console? I didnt have to on mine. I hope the bolt holes on the bar line up for you perfectly. My GMG was 99% close. That 1% was a B!tch. But after 2 hours of choice words, it bolted up. I really like that rear wing of yours.

Thank you.
I removed the centre console so I don’t damage it removing the rear carpet and fitting the bar.
And yes, the bar seems to require some choice words LOL.
As for the wing, I got 2 now. One on the car which is a replica and an OEM that I purchased a few months ago (sitting on the floor). You can definitely tell the difference between the two. I’ll try and sell the replica later this year once the OEM gets painted and installed.

Well the one on the floor was the one I was referring to. Shoot me a pic and brand at some point of the replica. At some point I may be interested. I have a 997.1 OEM Aero wing and a GT2 replica wing. I really like the 997.1 GT3 wings.

Went out for a drive with my wife this morning, saw some snowy mountains in the pouring rain, and then the 997 got super filthy but saw a nice silver 993 on the way home.

Went into the marketplace last weekend to see what new things I could buy or at least do some window shopping. I ended up seeing lift pucks that I thought would be handy in my garage since I like tinkering on the car. I usually take my wheels off the 997 and thoroughly wash everything so lifting the car is a common occurrence in my garage. So I guess it was a gift for my 997. Thanks, Dan aka Porsches4all.

Finally got some 1:1 time lovin’ on the Turbo... I usually drive to the office and do a touch less drive thru once a week.

washed, quick detailed, and scrubbed those damn wheels.... man I remember mesh being so sexy but now it feels like a chore! looks sexy in front of the DD chumps!

edit: yeah it’s 70 today in Atlanta and I haven’t taken my Christmas decorations down yet.... sue me!
