That "overhanging" rubber is to protect the rim from curb rash.

Yeah. That’s impressive, and does not mean the tire is undersized. This is why the “it’s not rubbing in the garage so I’m good to go” rule doesn’t always apply.

I know, I know, my garage is pathetic. Next project.
Which front lip is this?? I like it a lot.

The front lip closest to mine is this one:

Werks1 - Porsche 997.1/997.2 Turbo Carbon Fiber Front Splitter (championmotorsport.com)

It seems glossier than the one on my car, though. I have not found the front lip, rear diffuser and side air vents that came on my car anywhere; they have a more matte finish than the Werks1. I think I like the Werks1 better.

Fixed my non-functioning passenger door window switch. If you’ve had the door panel off, unless you reconnect the wire harnesses in a particular order, the switch won’t work. I came across the tip in a random post, and sure enough it worked. The one that has to get reconnected last is the one with the orange locking mechanism in the upper right.

First batch of coolant fittings/hoses showed up for the engine drop. Still chasing down some other ones.

After 4,000 amazing miles of getting to know my '11 TTS Cab, I took her in to a local specialist for an oil change and a once over. Not too bad....a little low on coolant (no leaks), a cracked serpentine belt which is being replaced, and a small leak on passenger side spoiler ram (here I come Rennkit!). Tires are getting nearly ready for replacement & PS4's will go on soon & I'll have new TPM's installed, as one has expired. All in all, for a 47,000 mile SUPERCAR, getting no big surprises is highly pleasant.

This past weekend installed Bilstein B8s and H&R springs, then took off to the beach for the day (post-alignment of course). Love how it rides!
