I also installed Brembo ceramic brake pads to reduce dust. [no pics]

Hey Glad it worked! Looks great!

It was such a "eureka!" moment.. I had a bunch of different sizes laying around from my engine cover guy sending me a whole bunch to try out... I was just messing around with one, placed it over the SD card reader and boom, it was a perfect fit! Long story short, I had a whole bunch made to share with everyone on Carpokes with the help of @Larry C sending them out.

Can't wait to see others!

Carbon Fiber Foot pad is all done. Just waiting on the rubber nubs for my foot.

My Dummy key is finally complete! I was never a fan of the plastic feel every time I start the car, so since I LOVE Race-Tex/Alcantara, and a few accents including my steering wheel are in Race-Tex/Alcantara, I decided to get Frank from Exclusive Option to make a custom dummy key to go with my interior theme.

Outer is Red Race-Tex/Alcantara
Inner is Black Race-Tex/Alcantara

It's being shipped right now, should have it in a week or so.

That Red is beautiful !

On Saturday and Sunday we did the Prince Edward County Porsches and Wine Tour with PCA Rennsport and UCR (Upper Canada Region). We had about 30 Porsches on Saturday. Very much a fan of these PCA events !

Nice! I gotta give some of these PCA cruise events a try some day. Our region does a full slate and they always fill up quickly.

Thanks! Looks even better in RL apparently. Can't wait to get them in. I am attempting to wrap all the pieces I touch in Alcantara (Steering wheel obviously already, dummy key, selector, door handles, sun visors, etc).

@71eh What have you done with your Gas Cap? Do you have one of the special editions or have you detailed the stock cap? I was thinking of painting the raised lettering white.

I have yet to venture over to my gas cap. I wanted to do something different... Still not sure. I had a cool red leather bib, but it honestly got annoying trying to fold it in every time I fill up ha.

Painting the raised lettering would be a cool touch... hmm


Was also thinking of just buying this machined aluminum one... Kinda cool looking.

Installed the Carpokes plate mount.
I think the instructions call to mount the pads to the car and then mount the plate to the car. I flipped this. First, I aligned the mounts to the plate and plate frame, screwed all those parts together where and how I wanted the pads to align.
Then I peeled off the 3M tape covers, lined up the plate assembly, and adhered the mounts to the car. After that, I unscrewed the frame and plate to doublecheck proper adherence of the pads to the car.
Success.

Thanks, Tom!
