I have wheels that needs refinishing but I am debating wheel color I should go with especially I have Dark blue metallic like yours
I'm running stock 18'' silver wheels in the winter and these 19'' gunmetal ones in the summer. I'm not a huge fan of this wheel but the colour is all right. I still have to do wrap the window trim, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Road Force balancing today. This thing is amazing! I couldn’t get my tire/wheels done right with regular balancers, now it’s perfect.

Installed oil dipstick today... as suggested here on another thread, chopped the upper half of the finger loop off using a dremel so that the engine cover can still snap in flush. Nice having a dip stick present if you change your own oil.

Installed new tweeters in place of the Bose units.
x-Over a bit lower ~7100 vs ~8500
Sound is improved when I compared one installed dayton vs bose...not as "nasal" sounding.
Very happy with the update for the $$ investment.
I assembled the harness and 3D printed the adapter harness.
The tweeters for the most part dropped into the stock location utilizing the clips.

Here are a few photos.

That's great work! Have you considered making a kit to sell?

Having a dipstick & tube is awesome, no waiting for the car to warm up enough to get a reading. An oil extractor can be used too to save time during oil changes.

Almost done with the 60k service on our diesel. Today I did the oil change, brake fluid flush and cleaned the cowl drains. Oddly enough two of the front brake caliper bleeders were blocked. One I was able to clean out, the other I had to replace with some spares I had kicking around from 996 GT3 calipers. Tons of yuck in the cowl drains!

Was never a huge fan of the chrome plastic scripting on the back of my '17 Platinum Edition. Replaced with flat black this weekend from Suncoast Porsche Parts. Also did the black tailpipes and carbon fiber interior kit.

black looks good on white

I have toyed with this same idea to blackout the PORSCHE logo on my black 14 CD platinum edition
I would simply remove the Cayenne logo & not replace it

any feedback from your experience? did you use something other than dental floss to remove the original logos / gum?


this past weekend I replaced my front Bose tweeters with a pair from a wrecked Ferrari!
huge improvement? no but IMHO was still worth it for the cost.
