very cool stuff, can you record the sound?

my wife said something funny the other day “if you just lost 10 lbs how much $ do you think that would translate back to in stupid Carbon Porsche parts.”

I asked for the glove box piece for Christmas, she thought it would be like $100

My car is at the same shop Elliot's is at shop waiting for the same repair to be done. I opted to do some gearbox work and it looks like Elliot's been throwing parts at it. Who's car will be finished first at this rate?!

So that functionality is disabled.

Does your auto levelling (automatic vertical adjustment) still work (i know the horizontal swivel does not) ?

btw - did you sneak a rear bumperette delete? I swore earlier photos had them but later photos did not.

ps. this thread is epic!

I will post an update in the 997 section once I have confirmed it is functioning. This will likely happen late in the summer/early fall, as I am busy enjoying the car in the summer.

I did pick up a genuine euro bumper and crash bar from the RL marketplace. I much prefer the look of the rear without bumperettes.

WOW - I believe you would be the first in the world to do this.

I would have expected/hoped that with a genuine .2 (and the .2 front control module), that @ least autoLevelling would have worked for you right out of the box. I get that PDLS needs a separate control module that would need integration/coding.

Looking forward to the update.
