How did you find the wire? Just clean all connectors?

I have several stereo gremlins. CD quit years ago. Radio Intermittent outside temperature dependent (amp caps?). Recently it began oscillating back and forth between FM & AM,
ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!

Tried turning it of but it turns itself back on. Ha fing Ha. At least I can turn the volume all the way down.

Did a test fit on my new decklid from Precision Porsche- excellent build quality. Off to paint for the lid and my oem aero front bumper!

ive done this 3x - annoyed the crap out of me, once in which the ppf (and clearcoat) came fright off my CF front lip). So I understand your pain.

I recently installed a front parking cam (a must for our low cars), so now it's problem solved.

backing in sometimes simply isn’t an option depending on the situation, proximity to another car or wall etc.

Cleaned my sticky radio *****. Soaked in alcohol and removed rubber coating. Doesn’t have the “soft” touch anymore but I am very happy with the outcome. Just couldn’t spend $100 for replacement *****.

Also had to buy a Torx T6 bit to remove *****.

Next, I need to restore some plastic trim on the front bumper. What do you recommend?

For the radio *****- were you referring to the volume and scrolling *****? (Left and right on your pcm) You can get them from front for far cheaper than $100. I bought a set as mine were sticky. There are two different part numbers for the different *****.

Climate control dials are a bit more, guessing uro was the oem manufacturer of them possibly?

Hand sanitizer removed the sticky and good as new (for me). No need to remove the *****.

swapped the front camera with an AHD updated + non-mirror version.

The quality is amazing.

Tony does great work. I love mine. Glad you opted for the top vents too. PM me and I'll tell you how to better secure the front of the vents besides the small screws.

I finally got around to swapping the factory 18s for 19” Carrera Classics this week. New PS4S mounted to the 19s in June. Now I need to get the new TPMS synced to the car. Any tips/tricks?

Easy and cheap fix as I've posted before since I've done the same thing more times than I care to admit. Sand down the rough spots with fine wet sand paper. Then mask the front bumper with paper or plastic and blue tape. Get a $4 satin black spray can from Home Depot or wherever and that lip will look brand new after about 20 minutes of work.

I haven't posted a pic lately, and even after the rain the car still looks good parked outside of the office ...
