Finally got around to some DYI projects.
1. Dark Blue Entry and Drive plug - honestly this was a waste of money. The plug is hidden 99% of the time and even when you see it the color is so dark it doesn't stand out. Probably do red or lava orange next time but it would look out of place.
2. SPASM front lip. Worth every penny. Takes the 30 minutes they say but the actual work is 5 minutes. Prep for getting on the ground took the longest.
3. Carbon Fiber Sport Chrono eyelid from DB Carbon. This was a Fathers Day gift. Thanks to MA Carbon for the directions. Takes every second of the 45 minutes they say. Extremely tight near the windshield.

Could you by any chance post a side by side with and without the Sport lip? I'm thinking about doing it but not totally sure yet

Absolutely worth it! The best value in a Porsche OEM part for upgrade. I have one one my Cab (they only came on SPASM cars which wasn't an option for cab). It's subtle if you don't know about it but not subtle if you know what to look for. Looks much better.

I'd recommend some other product... It doesn't have that magic protectant any better than other brands - Chemical guys for easy to apply and Sonax for better.... But it is ridiculously easy to apply. Ordering takes a few weeks vs 2 days with something else just as good from amazon. Nothing wrong with it but it does not contain the unicorn tears of the advertisements and takes forever for fill an order - even after they run your card.

I'd be scared to paint my lip like that, scraped it twice already

I was going to have mine wrapped before installing it, and then I realized it takes five minutes to take on and off and $100 to have resprayed if needed, so I didn't.

Two Rear Tires
The 2015 991 Carrera 4 got two new rear tires this weekend. Put on new Pirelli P Zero's. At 20,000 miles, the front tires look like new, but the rears were down to the wear bars.
I live at the end of a gravel driveway. The new rear tires were so sticky, all the gravel was sticking to the tires. After about 30 miles on the tires, the gravel doesn't stick any more.
In another 20,000 miles, I will replace with Michelin.

P-Car Fan,
Sorry for the delayed reply. I've been looking for the link but am unable to locate. I found this on ebay and took a chance. Again, it's plastic so I'm sure any of the 3-piece would probably fit the same. The plastic is not high quality, but it fits ok. It came in a tin which probably costs more than the plastic it's made of.
I did find this link to what seems to be the same thing I purchased:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3pcs-Porsche...hY~rBE&vxp=mtr
I also got a leather porsche embossed key holder (took a month to be shipped from china) this should protect the cheaper plastic. It came in a "porsche" box and is good quality, for $24, as opposed to $150 by Porsche. I'll post pics.
