I added a clutch pedal stop, it is 3D printed and presses into the back of the clutch pedal. The clutch pedal throw is quite long and there is a lot of space between the floor and where the clutch starts to grab.

I have a hard time with the Techart website however I have been eying the front spoiler.

Got final tweaks on my new matte ppf (over Rhodium Silver Metallic). I'm very happy with the look.

I also finally received my first-ever specialty plate. I hope it works as a little puzzle that pays off with a friendly pun and brings a smile. It also offers opportunities for plausible solutions to satisfy less tenacious folks. One of my neighbors quipped, 'Oh, your bank balance now!' :lol:

I'm not one who would likely do a matte ppf, but yours is the second one I've seen posted on Carpokes that not only looks fantastic but one that I really like. It's regal. Tempting.

And of course, the additional beauty is that you can change it at will. (Well, at your bank balance's will that is. :mrgreen: )

By the way, excellently composed and lit photo. :thumbup:

Way to make it your own man, nice!! One of my cars has a matte/satin paint job (AMG GRT), and it looks incredible is various light. The reflections the lines give off (matte) is really cool...Love how yours turned out

Since my car won’t be delivered before March, I just spend the days collecting Porsche paraphernalia, 718 paraphernalia, accessories and mods. For me the anticipation can sometimes be the best part. I doubt that’s the case with a Porsche though. Especially since it’s my very first one.

'2103 Blue/White Viper GTS Launch Edition"

Is the Viper wishful thinking or is the wait list really that long?
