This unit looks great and matches the rest of the interior. I love the fact that it has inputs, bluetooth and a microphone for hands free. Since mine still works though I'm still going with the Tranzit Blu.

I was going to try and keep the CDR-210, but I wanted a USB, so this seemed like the next best thing.

There are two ways of using the mic. There's the one on the front of the unit, and the other option is to use the mic which connects to the back of the unit, with a long bit of cable. I'm going to go this route, and run it over to the location on the instrument panel where the factory mic would have been. Here's a pic of it in a 993. Looks pretty good...

I changed my hood and airbag crests again, this time to black and silver. I have Porsche ADD.

I wanted them to match my wheel center caps so that I'd have a completely matching monochrome set.










Don't judge me.

I saw my 03 S today for the first time in almost 2 weeks. Bodywork is completed from my little fender bender 3 weeks ago, and it looks great! Now it will have the ROW M030 sport suspension installed. Hopefully I will have it back on Tuesday!

Yes, passive. Cutoffs in all 4 projectors are painted the same color as my brake calipers.

That's great!
Did you get the headlight taken care of, then?

Not quite! I have a brand new driver's side stock halogen headlight that still needs to be converted to a Nine8Six projector. On the damaged headlight, in addition to the missing piece of outer lens, that broke off, one of the mounting points on the side of the black housing snapped off too! I hope to get the car back on Monday or Tuesday. Then I have a business trip Wednesday to Saturday, so after that I will get to have the headlight addressed!

It was warm this weekend so I cleaned up a little around the Boxster in the garage.

Saw a mouse just outside the garage last week, so there are 6 traps out. So far no captures.

I just recovered my ultra-low, long-reach 2 ton jack that was stolen 3 weeks ago.

Hats off to the Cobb County Police Department and Detective Neal for tracking it down!

No word on my indoor car cover that was also stolen, but after getting the outdoor cover I'm really not too concerned about that.

Heat wrapped and installed secondary test pipes. Headers and stock muffler with Crios mod now has deeper idle but still has a lisp as the rpms fall past 1800-2000rpm. That twin in/out magnaflow might be coming sooner than I thought...
