CR: It's been awhile since I had work done at Bodystyle. Cecil Beach still owns/runs the shp, but Carole and Cecil parted ways several years ago. Cecil has always been a Porsche guy so I would expect his work to remain at the level it has been. He is a great guy. You may wish to just tell him you've heard that the quality has fallen off and see what his repsonse is. I know the Cecil-Carole split caused a great deal of problems, though that was at least a year or two ago.

Hey!! Your CS is looking very nice, thanks for the pat on the back I can also say mine has been problem free, other then needing 2 horns, its only been in the shop for udpates. My Michelins are almost done with 23K miles on them. I recently changed the front pads, and 2 oil changes. I still get compliments to this day.






Doing what it was meant to do...


Went with some different pedals, I prefer the rubber grommets for better grip

Kevin: You still are the "Gold Standard" for mods. My Michelins are great, too. I would guess that they have another 8-10M on top of the 21M so far. BTW, the crest in back is a nice touch, and the grill looks great. Are you tracking the Cab? The "RS" is still in your stable?

Kevin,

The twist wheels on the trailer are also a nice touch. Is the P-crest a sticker or did you paint it on?

Huh, so THAT's what Cayennes are meant to do. Who would have thought?

Thanks guys!! no the Cab is my baby, I did take it out a couple of times, but I bought the RS for racing only. Keeping the Cab, were replacing the Boxster for the CLS.

Thank you, the crest is a enamel crest that you can purchase directly from Porsche, not sure if they still make them though. Its bolted to the diamond plate.
