Today was an up and down day, finished on the up.
Fired up the car this am and noticed 10psi down on the right rear.
Upon further inspection…



My friend graciously offered to take it to the dealer while I was at work where the tire was patched and a new tire was ordered as I have a track weekend coming up in a month. That allowed me to make my son's HS tennis match this afternoon. Some nice canyon type twisties was a blast on way there and back and I was able to do some 80-30mph stops to get some bedding in on the ceramics. The stopping power was truly impressive-also not a car in site in this particular area.

A pic of the tennis venue and a gratuitous car pic









All in all a good day! (My son is in the near court in blue-he and their team won)

After a rainy week, I finally got to detail the car properly. Plan on experimenting with some waterless car washes next.

Just got some deliveries for the GT4, armrest price is great but the racing yellow key covers are expensive but wanted an exact match to the car.

The guys at the shop made this from a scrap piece of SS. Will clean it up and hang it in the garage.

I think the OEM lights look a lot better of your GR. The lights you put on I think would be nice with white or grey/silver

Or black as well
I'm biased towards clear tail lights.
I was looking for a 997.2 Turbo and the one I almost bought had clear tails. I would've changed them if it didn't. If I bought a 991, I would've bought the all clear ones as well.
I've liked these tails since the 981 GTS came out so I bought them right away. I love how they looked when I saw them on a black 981 Spyder.

I like your mod, but the stock TL have grown on me a bit.

New tails look good IMO. The black contrast helps break up all the pure red in the back. Had them on my Carmine GTS and thought they were great. I don't mind the stock tails on my new white car.

Nice

Can you share how the front hood liner is installed?

Thanks

If you get tired of the new ones,.... I buy'em

EDIT BTW I agree 100% that they would look great on Black too!!
