Couple of things! Put Sliplo skid plates on and replaced the lower black bumper trims. Couldn’t be happier with the results.

I installed my long-awaited titanium wheel studs and nuts. Everything went well until the so-called “Pro” torx kit T40 broke while torquing one of the studs. Don’t try this without the best quality Hazet or similar tools or you will be adding complication to a simple job. How to get tool steel remnants out of a titanium fastener, you ask? Beats me.

Drove my GT4 for the first time in a month...running some errands. At one point saw a lady in her car circling mine in the parking lot videoing it. It's a Cayman for Pete's sake. It's not a 959. Still have yet to take a picture of it as I come up on 9 months of ownership! I was going to today then forgot to while running errands. I was in a hurry to get back and take my MV Agusta F4 out for a spin.

I'm just not one to take many photos, and 30 years ago I actually worked for a professional photographic supply selling view cameras, medium format equipment, studio lighting, etc. I love photography but not necessarily phone photography. I'll take a picture soon. It is a stunning car. Sapphire blue, PCCB, leather/alcantara with yellow stitching, LWBs, black GT4 wheels, SC. Even has sapphire blue vent slats. After I departed the errand where a car circled it, I drove to the grocery. With windows down, a lady crossing in front turned her head to say, "that's a beautiful car." It and my 3 Spyders are about the only Porsches of 11 I've owned which would receive compliments. Well, maybe my 2017 Targa S too, but that was my wife's car now replaced with a Range Rover which I actually like better.

Pictures please.

I think that Saphire Blue is a stunning color on a Cayman for some reason.

I have Lapis on mine and people compliment the color all the time when I drive it.

Looks good. Why didn't you just use the pre-made mesh that customcargrills.com sells for the cayman?
