Excellent choice, car looks great!

Some clear side markers would sharpen it up nicely

Happy driving!

Porsche0nut - funny, that was going to be my first upgrade. Do you have a source?

Nice! Give us details! And are you driving through winter or putting in storage?

Its currently up at the dealership - they need to sort out why the remote keys don't work - its a condition of sale.

I'll have one (hopefully snow-free) day of driving before I put it away into the garage - the Honda gets the boot outside - its a one-car garage.

So, I'll have a few weeks of coddling it before the fun starts.

This is like being a kid again - wooo-hoo!

I bought mine just over a year ago and it's stored in our 1-car garage too.. My wife hates that her car got shafted to the snow banks Here's hoping to an early spring.. p.s. I saw Cdn Tire has some car covers on sale this week if you're looking for something in the $100 range.. I have the Auto Glym (medium size) and while it's not a tight fit compared to the genuine Porsche versions, it does what I need it to do for a faction of the cost.

Thanks zer0 - I'll check out Auto Glym car covers.

The accessorizing begins.

+1 with the autoglym. I have my M3 outside for the winter and it works great. Med is the one you want. Too big will buff the paint. All the best with the new toy.
