A formal introduction w/ pics and a question or two

Hi everyone. My name is Al and I just wanted to post a formal introduction. This is my first Cayenne but not my first Porsche. I owned two 944's back in college. Got two questions though. Has anyone found a solution to the brake dust and is their anywhere I can get the clear corner lights for the 08 Cayenne? Here are a couple of pics of the 08 Cayenne.










Here are a couple of pics of my toy.





And here is a pic of the beasts in their cage.

Al - Try eric @ bumper plugs for the clear corners. Only way to get rid of brake dust is ceramic's or just not stopping as much. Anyways nice cars.

Aloha

Welcome!

A little elbow grease is the only solution I know of.

As stated, ceramic would be the only way to go to elimate it. But, again, as mentioned, a nice coat of wax and a sealer makes cleaning 10x easier.


WELCOME TO THE 6!

Keep the brakes as is. It's better to wear the pad than the rotor.
