GTS air filter
Does the GTS only need the one, long, rectangular air filter?
Or does it also have two separate round/oval air filters for the auxiliary air intakes?
Some vendor sites only list one, while others also list the other two as needed for the GTS.

good question, always thought that V8 engines has the same intake/air filter; but now i have checked just for curiosity on spare parts software using VIN of this GTS '13
https://www.edmunds.com/porsche/pana...F2A73DL076780/
and was given two part numbers 97011022001 - long; and 99711013031 - 2x rectangular
never seen such confusion ......
but if to look into beginning of part numbers then second is 997... and then:

first part number:
https://www.ecstuning.com/b-mann-par...011022001~man/
and then another confusion comes:

they say: ''Excludes Porsche Panamera GTS models'' .......

I believe it also has the smaller oval shape filters as well but I'm not positive. I just installed the BMC rectangular filter.

Question about masking off areas with tape.
I think I want to do trim with plastidip. I watched many vids where they did not do any detailed masking. They only masked off a couple inches outside intended surface, then sprayed. After drying they peeled off up to the intended surface.
I wonder if I should tape off just up to the trim, or do what the vids show (tape off couple inches away). Wonder if the spray gets into cracks, and is later hard to remove. If I was to spray onto trim around door, would it not spray into crack making me have to clean up later? Whats the process here?

Good to know. I think I will get a can or black and black out some small pieces to see how it goes.
Also, what do you think of using Plastidip as clear bra? Or black bra?
I was thinking of it and it appears resistant to heat on hood, so may be a perfect solution to do a good partial spray on hood, mirrors, etc.
I think I saw clear as well as having black. Just wondering if anyone else thought of something like that.

Lol and no, to 98% of people the paint would’ve been in acceptable shape. It did have some marring, light swirls and scratches that I needed to remove. Most untrained eyes wouldn’t have even noticed it. I’ve bought brand new cars that needed at least a stage 1 polish.

Finally! The wheels came in and I was able to ceramic coat them this weekend prior to install. I used Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour.
Wheel Specs;
Savini BM12 in a satin matte black finish
22x9 +45 Front
22x10.5 +45 Rear
Attachment 1
Coating applied. It goes on wet, or glossy, but does not stay that once you level it out.
Two days later you can clearly see the coating doing part of its job!

And now they're installed. I could not be happier with the results. My little project is starting to all come together...
