Thank you. It's the Maxton Design for 997.2. Picked it up at ECS tuning when they were clearing them out.

Thought it might be that one. ECS has them ready to ship by September, so it’ll be a long wait if I want to get one.

I know Maxton Designs has them in stock, but something so flat and long shipped from overseas makes me concerned of damage during transit.

I dropped it off to get the numeric shifter and cables installed, also did a set of Soul Performance cat delete pipes, Softronic Tune, KW PASM delete kit and windshield got fully tinted. I can't wait to ick it up this week and hear the sound of a tuned X51 3.8 with headers and nothing else! No Cats and NO mufflers.

hopefully it is tolerable lol

I also picked up a set of Recaro Sportsters that I plan on refinishing then throwing them in the car.

Process I used:
Wash and blow dry - 1.5 hrs
Clay bar - 2 - 3 hours
Polish with DA polisher, 3 - 4 hours
Ceramic application 3 - 4 hours

I spread this out over 7-days. Was truly ready for it to be over by the end, but happy with result.

No before or in-process picks. The after pic is a couple posts above. There is a definite improvement in shine and surface smoothness. I won't really know if it was worth the effort until the next wash. I'm hoping it cleans and blow dries easier.
