Thank you sir!
The Carbon airbox was for sale on the RL marketplace. I purchased the air ducts and filters from Sunset Porsche. I finally got them last week after waiting two months for them to arrive from Germany. This isn't for the faint of heart, as the 4.0 has a unique decklid for the larger air ducts. I am going to modify my 3.8 decklid.

Your car is just a collection of parts that are all individual works of art. Color me jealous of this one too.

Shark tune and RSS engine mounts. Both very impactful, and 4,000 X easier than changing servo motors and blower fans in a 964 . . .

Finally got it back from a full cooling system refresh, pinned lines and SW elbows, drove it 8 hours home after sleeping 2 hours and 4 hours of flights to get it. Then promptly installed a cup lip. Proceeded to add the first scratch exiting my driveway.

I did the exact same thing. Installed it and scraped the crap out of it leaving my driveway, I only have 2.25" clearance from lip to pavement so so it's pretty much expected for me...atleast the cup lips are super flexible and cheap.

I really want to do this to complement my cars soon to be completed 4.1. Sourcing parts, as well as trying to figure out if I should cut up my decklid or look for a decklid that will accommodate this airbox, it’s difficult trying to figure out where to get all the parts. I wish I could just walk into some auto parts big box Costco like store and buy everything haha

Major service done, now at 68,292 miles. Fluids changed, spark plugs, coil packs, serpentine belt, filters, etc. Asked them to pull DME report and was pleased to see only 82 range 1. Shop was impressed with condition of the car. Wallet is a little lighter.

Installed the leather console I ordered from Exclusive Option. Really ties the room together I think.

Which spark plugs were installed? The Bosch plugs have been discontinued for quite some time. It could be that they still had some in stock-
