Why not remove those US mandated rear bumper stops too? Must be more than 2 pounds there?

... why ... let me tell you a story ...

back in 90 something I bought my 1st 911, C2S with the aerokit II in artic silver metallic ... the best day of my life ...

I drove it off the lot of Bev Hill Porsche, to take it over to their shop to get the cd player installed ...

I am sitting at a red light, about 4 blocks away from the dealership ... the light goes green, I am in the process of putting it into gear and BANG ... a merc slams into the back of the car ...

the MF in question gave me his details, but never returned any of my calls to settle the insurance ... thanks to those bumperettes there was only $3k in damage as they absorbed some of the impact that would have been transmitted to the engine bay etc ...

lucky I wasn't armed, because I'd probably only be eligible for parole around now ...

Let's see some additional photos with the new shoes Larry! I can never get enough Mex Blue, and bet it will look great with a few rain drops beading on her on this rainy SF Friday. : )

bad idea for insurance and safety reasons Probably better to run a couple of miles a day and skip burgers for a week:P

I think today was the last of the rain... If you have time when you do come it would be neat to see what you think of the 6gt3 now that she's done. And Adam too actually since it was his originally lol!

Big blue is back for a few more goodies:P
Baby blue is back...

To firm up the rear suspension we also installed the SharkWerks/RSS "dog bone" kit and bump-steer kit. Here's a shot of the factory links and neoprene bushings:



The the new links going on:



When if ever is Porsche going to get rid of that darned eccentric bolt that just moves your toe?
