Lovely car and the C2 is such a special platform for tasteful mods as you’ve done. What a machine!

The transformation from stock to the Eibach and spacers is incredible. Your car looks great and hats off for meticulously maintaining it. I just got into a 997.1S and put some Eibach springs on it as well and it looks incredible. I always hear about springs "settling" after some time, but don't know if there is anything to that. Did you find that to be the case or are they sitting at the same height from your initial measurements?


Here she is all polished up. Waiting on some 5mm spacers to complete the look! These Sport wheels are 8.5" and 11.5' wide so didn't want to go with too much spacer.

Just saw this now, but Congratulations on becoming Citizens! My wife became a Citizen in 2019 so I understand the pride and emotions you and your family must be feeling. She still cries when she hears the National Anthem. Beautiful Porsche, too!

Gave her some extra attention this weekend.

My steps to wax:
1) Wash and dry.
2) Apply paintwork cleanser and buff off.
3) Apply carnauba wax and let it sit overnight.
4) Buff off the dried wax.

Today I replaced the worn frunk struts with a set of Stabilus SG406031. After playing around with some flat head screwdrivers I just figured out that a staple remover works best to pop out the small clips.

Big thanks to @Bruce In Philly for posting the replacement parts and link to amazon. Here is his thread:

I just took photos of the frunk to compare. There is a small plastic box inside the compartment. I have no idea what is it. The box is attached to the frunk and it has a few wires running in/out.

I just replaced my yellowing stone guards PPF. Can barely see them now.

Watching carfanatic's video always helps:

Side stripes gone for a cleaner minimalist look.
