This week had the year-3 annual service done at Porsche of Nashville plus some other maint, installed the winter OEM rims w/their new Michelin all-season 4's, then to Lake & Land for new PPF rocker template pieces on both sides, full detail inside and out, Gtech refresh. What a difference - the car looks new again!

other than the drives to the grocery store and doc, I broke down and washed the dirt off the car.

As I wait for my 2024 718, I thought I would share some stuff I had made to go with my color scheme. (Black leather, chalk stitch, and guards red seatbelts and gauges).

1) Microfiber cloth for the center compartment
2) Velcro bag for the Frunk

Impressive, impressive, impressive! We were quite correct, you are feverish, and by the time your Porsche hits Canada you may have an entire Winter wardrobe. By the way, did I mention , impressive!?

Washed it after my track weekend earlier this month. Had to clean the rubber boogers off of the wheels and paint.

Saw these on YouTube, logo door lights and am interested.

On my GTS they are just reflectors, no lights or wiring there. Does anyone else here have more than a simple reflector there? I have puddle lights under the side view mirrors.
The company makes two battery powered versions but I don't yet know how they know when to turn on or off. Apparently there is a sensor and you affix a small sticker below the light to trigger it to turn off or on.

For our cars Model D is the fit, charge if you don't currently have a light there and it has two light logo choices A and C.

I have looked into these. They look really cool. But, I keep backing out. So we would have to disconnect the mirror puddle lights then?

Curious to see if anyone with a modern Cayman has done these. The lights under the door are just reflectors, so I guess we would have to get the ones you have to charge.

Didn't want to spend $300 on leather stitched fuze box covers (even though they are NICE!), I decided to make my own for $30 bucks plus 5 bucks for the vinyl stickers.

Not sure if they will look good, but thought I would give it a shot while I wait for my 718.

I do like the leather fuse box covers (from Ed Guards site)... So maybe if these look terrible, I will get some of Ed's :)
