Amazing work! Any tips/suggestions for someone who wants to do this themselves? Been looking into polishers, compounds, and polishes to do something similar to my new
to me 997 C2S.

I like Menzerna products...
Use an old Porter Cable DA polisher, and a newer Rupes DA polisher.
I've had success with the CarPro Cquartz UK 3.0 ceramic product.

These are HRE P104SC's. Those are custom forged HRE's so they can be built in the specs required for any model 997.

I had my 2005 Carrera S LAUNCH car Bore Scoped, fitted with IMS Solution and installed new AOS.

- It is an early build Launch car so it had the replaceable single row IMS
- Original IMS looked pretty good - but now I have peace of mind. (Car has 42,000 miles on it)
- Manometer was a little high, so opted to replace AOS

SOme installation pics...

Went for a sweet, California winter, 70 degree errand run and drive. Spent 43 years of my life in New England, so sorry but not sorry.

Fixed a nasty gouge on the drivers side front bumper cover.
Has been bothering me since first getting the car...



Fairly deep cut / gash in the paint and into the bumper cover material.

Went by the bodyshop to check on the car. The new tires were too large diameter up front, so had to throw the winters back on while I order new ones.
Front fenders are on, and roll cage is in. A windshield and headlights would be nice

Porsche spare


245/35/19 winter on for time being

Pretty good job, metallic paint is a PITA.

Repaired (under $10) and reinstalled a Mobridge unit that the previous owner left in the frunk. I was able to pair with my phone and connected the iPod. Seems to work just fine,


Now if I can just figure out how this thing operates...
