I installed a BMC air filter. Sounds not different, maybe the driving is a bit more responsive

Something like this may be the best of both worlds.
Darkhorse I also looked into RO as well, but I really only wanted it for my cars, washing 3 of them gets a bit tiring because of my detailing OCD
This was the next best thing, I had also looked into the Aqua gleam system, however from what I had read it didn't last so long, was expensive and wasn't refillable.
The system I got is perfect for car washing & the resin should last at least 3 months before I start seeing a ppm of 1.0 and 6 months before the resin needs to be changed, so once you calculate the costs of microfibers, washing them, detailing spray etc it will pay for itself in no time.
Go for it, you will be able to wash all your cars in half the time!

I sort of like it, but do all the spokes. Not just one. That would be a bit ricey or bro-ish.

I like the subtlety of those - cool effect. What's up with the exhaust pipes though - WIP?

Went for a drive with my cousin and his 991.1 GTS. My C4GTS looks tiny in comparison

Shortening the pipes and adding some tips from Maxspeed, Fabspeed, or other would do a good bit for the aesthetics and go nicely with your other mods.

awesome cars - altho i think the body painted grills is a little too much on that bumper, too many horizontal+vertical bumper lines. a little too busy imo.
