Smile getting ready for winter

Had a detail wash/wax after 4 close together track days. Had Metropolitan Detail change the partial front fender bra for a full front fender wrap with XPEL. (They changed out the partial hood for full hood a month earlier).

To answer those questions:
1) FVD front DRLs for 997.1. work great. No issues. Rhonda's great.
2) Bag from a Jaguar driving event. Was carrying wife's shoes for repair/refurbishing. BTW lots of wheelspin in their XKR in a wet parking lot. (Knew someone would notice the bag)

Looks nice. I never seem to be able to remove all the rubber from the paint.

What are you looking at? PJ is a bad influence, and you may want to bounce it off someone else to make sure you have a safety on the spending

Thanks. Saving some money by telling insurance company not driving it for the winter, Now my C4S is happy for the renewed attention.
