New tires. Pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S+ 2

So far, they're quiet, smooth and tight.

The basket is very cool looking! What color exhaust tips did you go with?

Don't worry about cutting and customizing strips of 3M for badges. Need to use this 3M stuff. The smart ones at 3M made a product specifically. I used it and its super easy.
3M Press and Place Emblem tape.

This is what the pros use (if they know it exists).

Quad tips (missed them on my 955 turbo) in aluminum plus went a little crazy and added a flourish for the rear valence. Mine is the Porsche Eurovan VR6 that could..

where did you buy these quad tips from? Are they OEM-like shape? I have seen some kn eBay but they don’t have the same look as Turbo S

Looks good. Is this the 52x41” Kuat basket?

Yup - The Kuat Vagabond X. The only issue I've had so far is that I don't think (though will continue to try) I can fit one of the Porsche 520L roof boxes and the basket on the Aerobars. I have 59" to play with.

I found the Vagabond X to be better because it's a basket (pretty low-tech) but it also includes two fork mounts for road bikes, so it actually doubles as a bike-hauler if you want to go the roof route as well, which I don't think the Thule or Yakima competitors had.

This is how it looks with the new exhaust tip and mud flaps I got installed today! It changes the whole look on the car. Opinions?

^^ Cool! It's hard to see the parts with black on black, but you like the mud flaps? You should paint them orange to get a transsyberia look!

Post a side pic! It looks like they're angled slightly so the inboard side is higher than the outboard, or the pic makes it look that way...

I put on new Bosch ICON wipers! I cannot believe how easy it is to change wipers on the 958s.

Took the GTS into the dealer for a pre-warranty 111 point check.

Wasn’t very happy to get it back with marks on the front armrest and a chip to the paint on the back.

Formerly a spotless car :-(
