Have to keep cats here for emissions but was looking at some 200 cell cats/down pipes.

Curious though - why FVD over VR. What's the pedal mod - like the Sprint booster?

AluminumMistress is an unknown quantity at this point
Coming along nicely! Reminds me of the Ecto-cooler drinks I used to have as a kid!

Yours might very well be the only Panny in CO that looks like that - I'll have to keep my eyes out for you on the road! Looking good

BMC filter is not worth it. Too late you have already installed it in. I put the BMC filter in my 2016 PAN4 last 2 years, I hardly noticed the difference. I may put a stock filter back this summer.

Yeh I have to agree - I have noticed very little difference, if any.

Great job on the wheels, for sure it stands out. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your project!

Thanks! Yeh, as if a PTTS didn't get enough attention, I had to get green wheels

It has a gold flake in it which is difficult to capture, but is really quite shimmery in sunlight!



Next, I have upgraded my detailing gear so got all my rupes stuff arriving this week and will go about removing swirls and orange peel. First I need to use my heat gun to remove the ppf that's on there at the moment though (which is also starting to discolor) then finish with ceramic coating the whole thing.

I will probably hold off on doing any more for now as I may be relocating soon which will probably drain my bank account!

Little touches still coming- Porsche wheel caps, new center caps, carbon ducktail, maybe sprint booster.

Will update as I go!

here is a link to rear wing retrofit that has videos showing coding options for different angles and speeds that the GTS/TurboS spoiler can be deployed. i wasn't aware it changed angles until i saw the video. it appears at some speed over 120ish? i think that the spoiler adjusts the angle but can be coded to deploy earlier and change angles at a lower speed
