Picked up my first Porsche about 9 days ago. So far I am loving it….I’ve put 750 miles on it just driving it for enjoyment.

Thanks! I hardwired the radar detector wiring yesterday. Powered off an unused, switched source in the fuse box. The main wire comes out at the dome light area, and the concealed display is mounted on the steering column to that people don’t see the detector going off (it’s a V1). This site helped with trim removal so nothing was broken and it is all buttoned back up.

it’s a washed out picture from the for sale listing. I wasn’t sure if i would like the color from the pictures but when I saw it in person I had to have it.


Here are some pictures from my phone they show the color better
