I sent previous post by accident without adding.!.. Craft Customs was great to work with and a fair price. They were a little delayed because they had to close for Covid for a few weeks but still was done in a very timely manor. Very nice factory looking stitching and matching wood, as I sent them a sample of both I bought the worn out black Macan wheel from Market place for next to nothing, the air bag I found on eBay is from overseas was beige and the dyed/painted it. Used air bag, well not so cheap but everything still cheaper than factory walnut wheel which has no air bag.. I removed the paddle shifters and installed factory lower cover for manual trans car. All controls are there and did work with the old factory nav head, just have to reprogram my Paser box to work with my JVC..I'll do that when I return from vaca I will be posting old wheel soon for sale

I was thinking - dang those are cool wheels on that 968 - then I realized that was MINE. We chated briefly at the show.

Default Polishing time…

I’m polishing and prepping for ceramic coating. Here’s a progress photo.

Quick and easy to remove those tail light lenses - and would make it easier for your paint correction and ceramic application processes.

Drove 3.5 hours in the pouring rain to Nelson Ledges for the weekend. All I could think about was sucking up all that water in my filters..

I sure hope it clears up or I'll be drinking instead of driving...

Took my son-in-law's motorcycle loving best friend on the first two rides in a 911 in his 35 years on planet earth. First a quick jaunt in the 996.2 4s and immediately thereafter the same trip in my 997.2 FSI 4.0. "Now I understand" was all he could say.

Looks really good. I may do that as well. Subtle but there.
