going on a spirited drive tomorrow so will post clips from that. I didn’t wire it at all since I would never want the valves closed. It’s not too loud at all to have to feel like I need them closed. I ended up sending them first to fd motorsports to get refinished and they came out great. I was going to put them on myself but the nut to take the clamps off were so corroded they needed some heat to it to get off so decided to go to an Indy. If anyone is looking for a good Indy in NJ, powertech in rockaway were amazing. Highly recommend them

Do the Sylvania bulbs throw any errors? They aren't advertised as being CAN bus friendly and they aren't cheap, but at least they don't have any crazy colors that would make them look worse than the amber colored bulbs when off.

Default 58115

I picked up my 07 Targa 4S on February 2, 2020 and today I turned 58115 on the odometer which gives me 10k miles of ownership. I didn't start driving on a regular basis until April 1 so this isn't so bad. Definitely not a garage queen.

Looks great. That’s the best color combo if I do say so myself. 😁

Function First motor mounts, custom DCT alcantara steering wheel instal, and brake flush/ bleed. Loving the mounts, great improvement in shifts and driveline feel. Steering wheel is top notch as well. Of course I prefer the sport (circle) wheel but this is a huge improvement and has perfect feel. Maybe upgrade eventually 🤷‍♂️🚗💨

I’d be doing more as I was going to change transmission fluid, transmission mounts, seat belt receptacle and engine mounts but no one is sending me anything.

Sunset hasnt shipped out the fluid in 9 days. Pelican hasn’t sent out the mounts in 7 days. Plus they canceled the corteco engine mounts. Track them down on eBay and seller cancels order too. Guess they’re out of stock everywhere.

I have a seat belt receptacle coming from Porsche of Tampa but they had that storm roll through and they didn’t have it in stock so that’s coming on 2 weeks.

Plus still fiddling with this shifter. Also trying to track down leather (with stitching) side trim pieces (around the hvac controls) and can’t get sellers to even answer.

Kinda annoying.

Bummer....I would do Function first mounts. They are modified rein mounts and they feel great. Shipped immediately and they were here 2 days later.

I noticed you blacked out your trim. It looks better like that and something I’ve been thinking about for mine. Wrapped?

You are right. It was worth a shot for $15/pair. Unfortunately, bulb out code thrown, so will go the ebay route with "error-free" bulbs and hope for a better result. Will post pics when I install.
