These imperfections seem to be under the lens and happened in the molding process. They're not fine scratches that can be buffed out.

^^I sent my side markers back today to Suncoast for another pair. The white dot on one of my lenses was way too obvious. They are going to look thru a bunch of them and send me a new set

What I did today was receive my new Escort Max 360 radar detector and using it in my DD until my GT4 shows up. I traded in my Escort 9500IX. They gave me $120 to trade it back(Had it for around 8 years). I do not like the expense of these built in radars because you spend a lot of money and I seem to not be able to keep my toys for more than 2 years so this allows me to hard wire it in on every car. So far, the Max 360 appears to be the Mac daddy of portable radar detectors. Pretty sophisticated piece of hardware. It even displays your speed which I like because you do not have to look down between your steering wheel to see how fast you are going

So far pretty darn good. I use "Auto no X" and it has the latest technology to weed these things out. I have no affiliation but I was a huge fan of the 9500IX but this has the arrows now like the Valentine. Granted, it has grown a little in size but still not too big. I already bought the wiring with the Mute button for $25 so when my car arrives will have the Dealer hard wire it in and I put the mute button switch in the compartment where the cigarette lighter is - I did not get the smoking package so I use that little cubby for the switch

Jeez Louise.... these things are expensive ( like a 100 dollars more then a CA red light ticket ) Yeeks
I guess it pays to have it even if it stops just one ticket ...( no traffic school req)

Ordered custom floor mats to my liking. Will have them in 8-10 days and will display pictures. They are going to be awesome. The bottom half will have diamond yellow stitching pattern with a black Porsche crest in the center. The top half will have a CF look.

Stopped at the store after the 275 mile drive (to do some work here) and drooled all over the car. Too much crap on the roads over the mountain passes to drive back home this time of year...What a painful wait!!!

Spent the past 2 days applying CSL and exo v2. Looks great. Also swapped out my floor mats for weathertech a few weeks ago.
