Factory new lug bolts all the way around
Fixed Noisy Spoiler (without having to rebuild)

*now to take care of the pass window not returning to full up after opening the door*
*new front tires (on the way)*

Then we can get into the 'mods'

Picked up my touch up paint to fill a few chips I've gotten over the last 2 months since the paint job. On Saturday it goes in for full detail and 10mm thick Ceramic Coating.

Ceramic coating is going to do virtually nothing to prevent further chips. Don't believe the marketing. You need a proper PPF (3M or Expel or whatever brand) on the painted areas. Do it now while the car is still clean.

10mm coating will definitely prevent rock chips!

Lol! If it was that thick it would prevent almost anything from getting to the paint!

Paint correction followed by paint protection film with Ceramic coating over the top. Don't forget to ceramic coat the wheels and calipers to help keep the dust off. My new favorite thing is ceramic window film on all the glass. Keeps my non-tinted air-cooled 911 much cooler inside.

Yes the wheels are getting the same treatment as well. I do have to look into the ceramic window film on the glass. I too have no tints on mine and I like it that way.

Paint correction + PPF + ceramic coating = NEW. Doesn’t look like 80k+ miles with zero protection up til then.
