Yep. Cups are bad about that. After 3 cups I opted for the stock {insanely overpriced} OEM stock lip. Much happier now.

Dropped it of at the detail shop for a head to toe inside and out wheels off cleaning and paint correction.

Hopefully this will improve what must be the dullest shallowest black paint Porsche has ever offered.

Fingers crossed . . .

Upgraded my pizza steering wheel with the sport steering wheel. Simple, and clean upgrade.

Also have some carbon fiber trim (99% sure they are MaCarbon) if anyone is interested.

Oil & filter (DT-40 5W-40), trans fluid, and added some new interior goodies courtesy of Hexagone. Oil sample headed off to SpeeDiagnostix. Also assessed the damage of the big chuck on wood someone left on the highway when I was warming up the oil for the change. My rear two underbody tray didn’t make it.

Decided to pamper my Blondie which wore PPF for 4yrs now. Put on ceramic coating for that refreshed look, inside and outside.
She’s back with her bright shine.
