Not sure I get it - you've replaced the sides of your key because they were worn? Wanted a two-tone look? (Is your car white? Forgot...) Or are these glow-in-the-dark panels?

I had to look up "95B" - gosh, what a rookie I am for not knowing. When did they start using letters? Elsewhere, I just had reason to write "911 - 964 - 993 | 996 - 997 - 991". Took me years to learn that bit of gospel. Important, since as of yesterday I own a Type 911 "911 SC".

Anyway, I don't have a plan yet for my yet-to-be-delivered 95B, but I'm intrigued by the many air freshener scents now available. Just a few pictured here:

Like I wrote, had to solve a First World Problem: all the keys look alike, couldn't tell which key went to which Porsche. $9 x 2 from Amazon. White key: white Porsche.

Glow-in-the-dark would be cool though.

Apparently with the Macan:

Drop it! Put down the air freshener and back away from the vehicle slowly.

One of my clients, in his 31k 5-Speed GTS, uses a pine-scented mirror hanging-freshener. It's ghastly.

Love those winter wheels.

I'm just going to run all-season rubber year-round. Rosalie (all our cars have a name) won't be doing deep snow excursions, so I've no need for dedicated winter rubber. If the plows don't clear the roads, I'll stay home.

I ordered a Cargraphic lowering module. It should arrive for installation mid to late next week.

Woo-hoo!

Interesting. I'll curious to hear your impressions of how the ride and handling change.

Old thread bump but you can order end links that will drop the air suspension up to 2”. Not sure what you paid for the Cargraphic but links are under $300

Default thanks...

The electronic module co$t$ many times the price of the links.

I tried the links and ended up going with the electronic module.

In order to make any future modifications to the ride height with the links, it would require significant effort - loosening the locking nuts, then adjusting each link - and hoping they were all the same (checking each corner afterward, then making any additional adjustments.

With the module, I end up with 6 ride height settings - adjustable from the comfort of the driver's seat:


module engaged - all settings 30 mm lower than factory default(s)

1. low

2. normal

3. off-road/high


module disengaged - factory default settings

4. low

5. normal

6. off-road/high


BTW, my links are for sale (new they're ~$165) - I've received a few low-ball offers ($90). Used only about a week.

My Macan is at the garage getting new lowering springs put on right now. It's also having the voice control module added, because it came from dealer inventory last year without VC. No, I'm not a "chat on the phone while you're driving" kind of gal, but I don't want to have to fumble for my phone to call & let the Hubster know I'm on my way.

Tinted my front lights and added the GTS in silver on the blades.

Not much needs to be modified on these.

Please keep us posted on the Cobb. I hear something like 45% increase across the board.

Spent the weekend slamming through the paddle shifters to the point of excess. I think I was identified as a menace to the neighborhood.
Made me think about the Cobb tune. Is it a HP increase, or is it a custom performance setting to maximize speed? I feel like you want different shift point settings, maybe start hammering away on the paddles.

Well, I bought my 2018 GTS in Agate Grey Metallic 8 days ago and have just been enjoying the hell out of it! What a fun machine. 18 miles at delivery, 380 miles as of today.

Today I dropped it off at a great local detailing shop to have clear protective film applied to the appropriate areas, and a ceramic coating applied to the remainder of the paint. I want to keep her looking beautiful for a long time! It will also have the front windows tinted to match the rears, as well as the yellow side markers and 3rd brake light tinted to match the OEM rear tail light tint. I can't wait to have it back and can't believe what a blast this thing is. Great job, Porsche!

Reading about the power gains from Cobb is so tempting, but gonna wait a while in case any warranty issues show their head... if I can...
