Changed to the clear side markers and red taillights (thanks Suncoast Porsche!). What a difference to the overall "look" of the car. Well worth the $

The AWE exhaust is really nice too. Took a little getting used to after the relatively quiet stock exhaust but the improvements grow on you.

Took the car through a touchless wash the other day and was a bit disappointed to see water coming in the passenger side quarter window. Not sure if I should have this looked at since it doesn't let water in with regular rain. The touchless washes are pretty high pressure. Thoughts? I think it was coming from the bottom of the glass.

Post pics of the new exterior mods. On the water, I think those high pressure washes are really over powered and thats probably the reason more than anything. You can always watch if it happens again and have the dealer look at it. Again congrats on a gorgeous Turbo

Thanks, and congrats again to you too! I love the line in your sig about "switzer mods to come". I bet you'll enjoy a superfast car that you can probably still hear your cellphone in!

I'll take some pics when the weather improves. We actually had some snow flurries today. I guess that's why it's the "great white north".

I've had my eye on the "alumalook" one from bumperplugs. It's on the list of things to do...

I love the cupholders. Gotta appreciate a supercar that lets you enjoy a coffee on the way to work. Although I have to remind myself not to stomp on the gas while the coffee is there.

So true. Just added a couple of overrevs to my DME scan. Took my buddy out for a spin. Stomped on it in 1st gear and it even surprised me how quickly it hit rev limiter. I had just finished warning him about that. Of course, despite my warnings he also hit the rev limiter in 1st gear.

He was shocked by the increase in power over his C4S. he actually prefers his clutch though. I don't.
