Installed the Getty Ducktail on my 08 S along with complete car paint correction. I'm happy with it, gave it some personality.

More goodies arrived this week, on a mission to cover as much of the interior in stitched leather as I can 👌🏾

Lower it another 1/2 inch- then it will be perfect.

Love it. Same mission myself. You pick these up from eBay? What else have you done?

I did the door spears, overhead console, front defroster dash and center speaker, steering surround, sides of the dash and ignition. I think just the vanity mirrors and maybe the side sills and I’ll be done. Would love those door panels though.

Here's my '08 C4S Manual. ~45k. New tires, good service history with the car. PO left it stock save for the Turbo wheels. It'll join my '88 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe. I'll start a new thread when the car arrives with more pics of both. Looking forward to a lot of autocross in this and a good few track days in addition to being a really enjoyable daily.

@jalvani If you've not already planned to you should come out to the All Porsche Grand Display in Kirkland on Sunday. The event opens at 9 and is an annual gathering of PCA PNWR cars as well as a charity fundraiser. Weather should be fantastic at Carillon Point this weekend.

@TheMurse I doubt I’ll be able to make this one, but I’ve been a couple times in the past. Great event! I usually do a couple tours each summer, though I haven’t been able to make many this summer. I’ll send you a note when I can make an event or maybe get some more PNW activity going in the West Region section.

it’s easier to list what’s left to do.
overhead console
mirror triangles
door spears
rear speaker
steering column surround
and those small triangular defrost vents (already did the main ones at the base of the windshield)

Any customs duties/taxes? Shipping or import delays?
