I am selling my beloved Cayman! I first purchased this car with 13k miles in March 2015 and I am the 6th owner. I have the carfax from the the time I purchased the car (attached here) which includes the different ownership. The previous owner said he barely drove it and wanted it to go to a good home. Since then, I have done most of the maintenance myself (1 time at dealer) and have kept records of them. I really want this car to go to an enthusiast (and not flipper) so that they can enjoy this car in all its glory. I will detail the car this weekend, return it back to stock, and upload photos this weekend.
The reason I am selling: I am buying a GT4
The Good
33,8773 miles as of this listing
Full documentation on mods
Full documentation on maintenance. (Google Doc and I can email/share to serious buyer)
Gets complements every time I drive the car. On 6/20/21 people said, "That's a bad *** car man, I bet that thing is fast!" & "Hey come check this out, the trunk is in the front. Look look look"
I babied this thing since the day I bought it and still do to this day.
The Not so Good
There is 1 small door ding on the right rocker panel when I purchased the car. I will take a picture tomorrow.
My friend backed into me in a parking lot from 10 ft in front of me going about 3-4 mph. It left a 3 scuffs on the front bumper from the license plate ranging from 1/4" to 1/2". My friend had the bumper repainted to make everything right and I paid to have the fender painted at the same time. There is no damage to the bumper, car, alignment, or anything else. This was purely for cosmetic reasons.
I accidentally dropped my road bike and the pedal hit the front bumper. It left a dent right after I painted the bumper. I will take pictures tomorrow.
There is a chip on the windshield and light peppering from road debris (not sure if my camera will pick it up).
Mods - I have all stock parts unless noted
Fabspeed Jackpoint when I purchased the car
Clear turn signals when I purchased the car
Carnewal GT Exhaust on 10/25/15 with around 15k miles (I didn't keep track of mileage at the time)
Fabspeed X-Tips on 4/14/16 (I didn't keep track of mileage at the time)
Catless Headers - Unknown modified brand added 10/22/16 (I didn't keep track of mileage at the time)
Catless Map/Tune at the same time
These headers ended up breaking at the original weld on 11/2/19. There was no impact, damage, or any accident when this occurred. High heat on track caused this to happen as it suddenly got louder midturn on T5 at Laguna.
Front LCA + Alignment on 9/25/19 at 27,382 mi
GT3 front Brake Ducts (I forgot to mark this on my mods so no date/mileage)
Numeric Shift Cables on 10/1/19 at 27,680
This was preventative and for better feel
I do not have the stock shift cables. I threw these away.
Ohlins R&T Suspension + Tarett Camber Plates on 4/29/20 at 29,644 mi
Cayman R Spoiler on 5/14/20 at 29,815 mi
Fabspeed Catless Headers (wrapped) on 5/20/20 at 29,815 mi
Tarett Wheel Stud Kit on 6/9/20 at 30,063 mi
This was for convenience
Tarett Caliper Stud Kit on 6/19/20 at 30,427 mi
I did this when I changed the rotors
5mm spacer for rear on 2/2/21 at 32,420 mi
There was slight rubbing on the inside wheel well
I asked RL and the consensus was to add 5mm space

I had some time to do a quick maintenance wash. I’ll take better pics tomorrow in the daylight (if I have time).
In the mean time, I took some close ups. The best way to avoid swirl marks/spider webs is proper lubrication, light pressure (by hand and 1,000 psi max), and some good towels. A foam gun isn’t mandatory but it is like shaving with shaving cream.
The key to a good reflection is a smooth surface. Tiny swirl marks in the clear coat deflect light in multiple directions which gives hazy reflections.
Old pic: Damage from my friend backing in…
After washing today. I have the tow hook cover and have not replaced it yet. Don’t worry! (I’m camera shy so I covered my face).
Where I dropped my bike.
Chip on the windshield from driving on the freeway. I taped the inside to make it easier to see.
