Noise or silence at your wishes.

She deserve to suffer some pain considering that after that date it will be my end

I agree. Leave it alone. The choice of noise level with the PSE is great. That is a sweet car, very nicely optioned, especially with the X51 package. Enjoy!

Good point!
Question.
I have found this ebay seller that seems to sell some pretty decent stuff.

Do you have any clue if those should fit (including color)?

i'm fairly certain that within the 997 lineup, the caps are all interchangeable (though the turbo ones are very slightly convex). someone pls correct me i'm wrong. i'm not sure about these ebay ones though. best to measure. in general, i like ebay for these items. i bought a set of black colored crests off ebay a couple months ago and they look amazing (i think) on my turbo wheels and black body.

one thing to watch out for is the silver/chrome color on these may not closely match your wheels, so if I were you, i'd look around for some OEM 997 ones to avoid that problem.

One last thing -- u can use 2 ends of a wire hanger to gently pop out the old caps and put some grease on the back of the new ones to help put them in.
