Drove my 997 over 1,000 miles today from Florida to DC - smooth, fast, comfortable and highly entertaining. Looking forward to the drive back!

After I deleted mine using various removers there was still a faint trace of the emblem. I had to buffed out the trace.

I plan to compound and then polish anyway. That area has lots of swirls because it's hard to polish around the emblem when it is there

Just use a hairdryer and floss. The heat will do the trick to loosen the adhesive, then use floss to remove the emblem.

Use a machine DA polisher to clean the area off.

Polished the exhaust tips. Wire wool grade 00 plus an abrasvive polish. Protected with Finish Kare 1000p. Looks much better.

Last week I got my windows tinted.
On Monday my clear - smoked side markers arrived from California. Gonna put them on this weekend.
Went for a drive last night at sunset. Was a perfect evening. About 75 F, sunroof open, convertible BMW followed me for a little. Was a gorgeous night for a drive.
