Replaced cabin filter and engine air filter. Often ignored but when you see the old ones pulled out, it was time.

Refurbed the 3rd brake light panel bolts. Did 2 and then 1 to keep the panel where it was.

Fabricated and installed radiator grilles. Spent the better part of two hours and under $20 to come up with a solution that didn’t require removing my bumper cover

Ok, thx. Was just curious. The life of the 997 water pumps seem to be all over the map. Can't think of a reason why some fail early like mine and others last well past 100K miles as long as you don't ignore a coolant leak.

And, went to a mall after. When I returned a fellow friendly owner parked in front of me, out of the gazillion empty lots available.

@axl886 Beautiful sounding cold start rumble. Is that the stock exhaust? If so PSE or non-PSE?

Thanks. That's the PSE (permanently opened), with the center muffler etc still intact.

That is a great look, love the color combo and new wheel.

I did something similar, wheel went in about 9mon ago, but today I did get some new carpet mats, I got rid of the rubber ones, I didn’t really like them.

It’s a rainy day here today so doing inside work. Did the paint part last week. The gold is a metallic sticker from a friends shop. The red is guards red. I think it came out pretty good. And yes I’ll fix the nix in the wall tomorrow.The picture above the door my son took too.

Cried a little when my friend backed into it. Looks like the bumper clip is broke and it pushed into the light a bit.

Bummer.
