Yes, finally on all four corners and an alignment Tuesday. I'll report back on how the ride is. Oh, Porsche will also make sure air suspension only has nitrogen in it and is fuly calibrated. Lets see if 4 Billies are better than two.

Swapped the serpentine belt on the diesel. 60k miles and 5 years on it, still looked great. Probably still had a few years left on it but since its my wife's car I'd rather just replace it
Next step in blacking out the trim on my Cayenne Diesel was to powder coat the exhaust tips. Was my first time powder coating... used the inexpensive kit from Harbor Freight, and Black Gloss powder from Eastwood. Learned quite a bit. Overall, a few imperfections, but good enough for me. Takes practice. So much better than the old brushed stainless tips, especially when rolling coal in a diesel. These should stay much cleaner looking. Even remembered to coat the chrome hitch pin while I was at it... haha!
I tried those Amazon covers but mine were chipped up and looking pretty rough after a few months...wasn't the best finish. Will be curious how yours fare, maybe I just got a bad batch...the center trim is killer!
I've ordered them in the past and have had bad ones also. Need to order from carmonmon, the others I found either don't fit tight and look bad or poor quality in general.
I also ordered a bunch of these in different colors. After dripping the keys still get scratches and such. This guy runs out of colors, which is why I ordered a bunch in advance this time.
Well, with Stage 2 tune, CAT and DPF delete, ya... it does blow some black smoke... I can see it in my mirror, but I've been meaning to hook up a GoPro on the rear bumper to get some video...

i'll have to try and get some video right next to the exhaust, but under acceleration, a bit more smoke than I had expected...

So I've gotta guess the wife was out? Tell me you cleaned them first in the dishwasher..
