SM_ATL's Carrera S Journal
Have done it... and removed the stripes 5 mins later
Did not like it at all on the car but wanted to give it a try. Went back to a more simple 'Carrera S' badging, black on white 'a la GTS'. I am waiting for the rear black 'Carrera S' emblem.
I like the clean 'white wit a touch of black' 997 GTS look a lot in fact...

Our Caymans rose at around 75mph at what spped does your 911 rise?
Sweet! Can't wait to see pics if it's a go!
On the stock spoiler, I keep waiting for someone to put out a mod that does something about the open trunk lid look when up. I love the wider spoiler, but a rigid something vertical surface below it as it comes up would look better. Or even a 997 rubber boot thing.
That, and the cut lines were cleaner on the 997. The curved ones to allow for the oil and washer fluid(?) fills are not ideal, IMO. Of course none of this did stop me from ordering one, lol.

SiriusXM - continued...
Still do not have Traffic working on SiriusXM. The dealership and XM kept accusing each other and now Porsche is involved.
The dealership just sent me an email saying that the issue would be software related and would plague 50% of 991's
Do not know if I have to call BS or not. They promised the issue would be resolved within a few days. I'll give it until next week.

I actually like it but am not ready to go that far yet.

Not much going on for now, but a bunch of parts on order (spoiler, springs, seat belts and a few other things)
Meanwhile, continued with the B&W theme and added black Carrera S emblem at the back.

Badging looks great.
I apologize if I missed it, but did you ever figure out if the speedart spoiler is designed to rise up with the stock spoiler, or if stock needs to be disabled?

Thanks. Feedback I got on the Speedart spoiler is that it rises up with the stock spoiler. I have it on order but have been told it will take about a month to get it.
SM_ really like what you've done! Since you're the aftermarket guru, any idea if someone makes anything to protect the plastic door sills? I'm scraping mine up with my shoes as I get in and out. Thx

I am not aware of door sill parts in any current tuner program for the 991 or other aftermarket solutions for now. The 991 model is still very young and there is not much choice to personalize your ride yet (even though I like to personalize but stay close to the OEM style).
