I just kept rubbing the sticker with a soaked but not dripping rag and it eventually softens up and starts coming off in little pieces. Thought about taking the visor off so I could turn it upside down easier to soak it off but finding the screws and unplugging it seemed too complicated.
Even rubbing it off only took a few minutes on each side.
BIG improvement!!
Not a mod, but I've been on a mission to get the first aid kit that Porsche includes as standard safety equipment with all European cars, as well as U.S. cars picked up at the factory via euro delivery.
I heard they were impossible to come by here in the U.S. because for some reason they could no longer be imported. While there are several first aid kits on the market and readily available for purchase here, the genuine OEM Porsche kits are, indeed, not sold in the U.S. so I had a friend that was traveling in Austria recently bring one back for me.
The OEM supplier for Porsche's first aid kits is Holthaus Medical GmbH & Co. According to their website, Holthaus Medical is a family company specializing in surgical dressings that was founded in 1924 in Remscheid and employs 140 people in 3 different workshops in Germany. They partner with several automobile manufacturers as the OEM suppliers of kits that are compliant with the latest first aid requirements.
While first aid kits in general usually contain an abundance of items, this little kit (measuring just 6 inches x 6 inches) really packs a wallop. There's tons of stuff all tightly packed into this diminutive packaging, including but not limited to:
elastic bandages
triangular bandages
skin cleansing tissues
disposable gloves
rescue blanket
first-aid scissors
first-aid instruction booklet
iodine wipes
alcohol pads
antiseptic wipes
gauze pads in various sizes
gauze rolls
bandages in various sizes
first aid tape
As I understand it, there is a sticker that goes on the outside of the first aid kit and also a restraining strap/velcro holder that enables the kit to be affixed to the inside of your trunk. Both the sticker and strap apparently have Porsche part numbers which I'm currently on the hunt for. If anyone knows the part numbers or has pics of the label and/or strap, please share. Thanks!
^^^ Very cool - the first aid kit and warning triangle were in the frunk of my RS as even though I did not drive my RS in Europe, we visited the RS at the factory during our tour - it was just being completed in Exclusive. It did not come with the brackets for the first aid kit, but I ordered those ($7 each) from Suncoast - might want to check with Ryan there - he is very good at sourcing stuff quickly.
Good luck, and enjoy.

I've got several of those that look identical except they say Audi on them. Every time I've sold or traded my various Audis I've somehow forgotten to keep them in the trunk...
Also forgot to mention that my car is lowered @ 1/2" front and rear.
Wheels and tires are stock sizes. I think tire sizes could be a touch wider also to complete the look.
I have RSS 7's front and rear but they should be a little thicker IMO.
I found a company that makes 12's and I'll probably change them out.
I stacked my 7's to see what a 15 would look like and I thought it was a tiny bit too much.
Pete can you take some more pictures to give a better reference for the spacing? Directly from the front and the back of the car looking down the side should be perfect. Been trying to figure this out for a while now haha. From this picture I do think a smidge more with 12s would be a winner.
The problem is 12mm's doesn't give you a hub ring to center the wheel on. That's why we see them jump from 7mm to 15mm spacers. I have 7mm in the front as well and 12mm would be perfect however the OEM hub width is 11mm so there's not enough to hang a say 10mm-12mm spacer on. The 15mm spacers fit over the oem hug ring then have their own to hang your wheel on. That's the best design but a problem with our setup and sizing needs.
