Purchased my car with the 911 badge and it’s a little too simple for my taste. I changed it to the Carrera 4S badge. Was not easy to do and came out almost perfect.
(Actually I did this yesterday): Refinished/redyed my drivers seatback outer bolster. The previous owner was rough on it, it had been redyed by the dealer before I bought it but not properly prepped, so it lasted only a year. I had a “pro”’ redo it, I was never happy with the result but it lasted about 8 years. Finally got around to doing it myself...careful prepwork, careful tinting of factory-code paint to get a perfect match to the faded/darkened surrounding leather. Also I used crosslink additive and put several coats of satin clear on it for maximum durability. Came out great I believe.

Looks great, results like that takes talent. What did you use? I can't quite see in your photo.

Finally got my indoor car cover. Tried it on for size outside as the Porsche goes under another car on the lift in the garage and is difficult to put on inside

Really excellent work, Ben Z. I need to learn how to do this.

Lebby83, the signals/fogs are indeed LED. They work great. I drive during the day with them on all the time for visibility. Very bright. Bought them from Unique Style Racing. uniquestyleracings.com
wonderful color, I bought my first Porsche today! A beautiful 2009 4S PDK
strange color, in the sun it is stunning...in the shadows it can be mud...ask me how i, never mind would only swap it for azurro blue ...but i really love it...
i seem to have to add 2 characters somewhere...
