[QUOTE=Iceter;16592491]I installed ZunSport grilles (I added the “e” in grill because they’re from England ) yesterday.

They’re definitely pricey, but I was impressed with the heft and quality of the pieces and installation was a snap.

The only issue I had was my CC company holding up the charge because of their location. I recommend PayPal. They also get to my door in 3 or 4 days—from England!

...And of course, my iPad pic is loaded upside down. Because...Apple.

Those must be some really sticky tires.

Installed the Top Speed Auto intake hose w/Helmholtz resonator delete. Shocking when an item is priced so right - $55 including shipping. Retained the original hose clamps as I found the ones they provided to be too bulky and less convenient with a nut end instead of flathead screw. The change in sound above 4k RPM was IMMEDIATELY noticeable. Sounds meaner with just the right amount of added volume. Would highly recommend!

Installed Rennline motor mounts. I chose the street rubber. Too rainy to take it out for a drive right now, but it should get better this afternoon.

Added front grills from Zunsport, got her washed up, and went for a 20 mile round the town social distancing romp.

Installed a short shift kit! Also discovered that if you turn on the key without a center console, you get an airbag light!

Very cool! Wold love to see pics when complete. What paint did you use to match the "Aluminum-Look" silver? How close could you get? I need to do this on my Boxster and cold never find the right paint.

Thanks much,

Matt

i didn’t get to clear them yet cause the humidity is too high but it’s looking like they will come out great. I have actually gone with Arctic silver, you can’t use it as touch up paint on galvano but if you paint a whole item and put it in the cockpit you can’t tell the difference. My interior door handles I redid in arctic and people comment how nice of shape they are in and never notice. Lol.




door handles.

Hahaha. I just found out this last week. Apparently when you disconnect the pass airbag light on the console.
