Should be a setting in the menu using the steering column stalk. What year is your car and the donor? 997.1 and 997.2 tpms aren’t interchangeable.

I got it… A friend that is a Porsche dealer tech stated that sometimes it can be problematic. I followed his advice and had no trouble.

Side note, the TPMS are brand new and were manufactured at the first of the year (2022).

Where did you find the door ppf? My driver's side is pretty yellowed and I've been thinking it's time to pull it off.

Do you have a gap on the right bottoms corner? That was the case with mine and the bodyshop couldn't shimmy it to 100%.

I just purchased the GT3 rear deck strut as my wing was hitting the top part of the rear deck at the fully open position.

Went for a nice long drive on a bendy road and then came home, gave her a bath to get the 1.2 million bugs off and some light detailing

No gaps or issues with fitment at the bottom of the decklid- or around the tail light areas. Also, when fully open it clears the rear central brake light area perfectly. Now when installing I did have to make a slight adjustment to my rear latches, but after that, the rear central brake light area cleared perfectly. I was shocked how exact the fitment was with this lid and that it wouldn’t require additional work. Just waiting on my paint guy to finish up and I’ll reinstall the lid and factory aero front bumper. I’ll throw some pics on when it’s all done

Took my girl out to the PCA Pacific Northwest Region’s annual All-Porsche Grand Display. A lovely time with some fantastic cars and great people.

I spent hours waxing and buffing only for the skies to fill with wildfire smoke and drown out the shine. At least it made for easy ash cleanup.

That was a great outlaw-ish 356 build, a 2.2L with tasteful restoration. But I wouldn’t trade my 997 for it.

If you find the Lindgrun 987 intriguing, google “most expensive Cayman spec” and prepare to gird your loins.

Porsches and red, name a more iconic duo.

Full Ruf conversion.

997 GT3, a car that will never go out of style. I’d do terrible things to get my hands on one.

Does what it says on the tin

Beautiful showcase 997 interior. Can’t say I’ve ever seen natural leather gauge faces.

Club Blau 997, Cobalt Blue 968, both fantastic shades.

The pretty midnight blue 997 cab was almost attractive enough to turn my head from the Vesuvio metallic 993. Almost.

Purple amethyst Carrera RS, euro model. What a dream!
