I removed the aftermarket radio that was installed by the previous owner and replaced it with a radio delete option. I really like the way it came out.

Though I’ll need to tackle changing the color of the silver/grey section below it with all the buttons. That’s a problem for future me to deal with.

But yeah it’s been raining here. Luckily I was able to enjoy a brief period from my tire guy to home with a semi dry 405.

My 4S has Kumho skids - they are a great tire and less expensive that Michelin. Fitted Toyo, Nitto and Kumho's on my 993 4S over the years and all were quiet and sticky.

It takes literally a couple seconds to put on and saves a lifetime of rage at the pump lol.

Haha! Thank you. Exactly what I needed, now I'm off to buying it. Life saver.

I'll play. Need to catch up a bit though. I purchased the car (07, MT, 24k miles) a couple months ago and so far have detailed the interior including seats out vacuum, and cleaning / conditioning all the leather, new wheels, TPMS & tires, swapped out blacked out tail lights for standard red (anyone interested in the black ones?), new floor mats, and replaced a couple of missing clips at the interior.

Nice looking wheels. Red tail lights look better, never understood the "Knight Rider" look! LOL.

OMG those HRE new rims look amazing! Great job Rasta997 Turbo. I would never switch out of my stock rims since I love the look but your HRE's? I'd consider them for sure.

@Steve 964CS Yah mon! I love the the turbo rims as well but couldn't resist getting these 20 inch HREs. I still have the turbo and Champion rims so if I get bored, I'll switch them out like I do with my sneakers.
