Thanks,

after market tire pressure monitoring system, I believe it's the one from Orange
TireTrack (used?) to sell it for a very reasonable price and it works great
I have it too, at the EXACT same location

2003 S

Love the front bumper and the flow into the skirts. However to me it also looks like the spoiler is a bit small for the rear especially if you want to widen it.

Also have 8 way power seats from a 996 and updated to pioneer navigation unit that looks just like you upgraded to.

Attached is a view of the spoiler on my base.

Nav upgrade...probably covered elsewhere but

do you need to move the temp controls down - so you have the double din up top?

Mine and I assume factory oem is a single din because the tem controls are next to the CDR-23.

I really like your rear spoiler, wish I would have seen that one first
