The bumper is a fiberglass 04 GT3 replica for Boxsters and 99-02 Carreras. I put the RS vents in front of the hood.

A little spit and some elbow grease and the muffler and tailpipe look shinny and bright again! Makes a huge difference. Can't wait to look out my office window tomorrow and not stare at a dark, dirty muffler/tailpipe!

Yesterday I reinstalled the wiper gutter after re-dying it black from the faded gray. Looks good! Also replaced the struts on the frunk as well (trunk is being done today).

Put a set of Hankook V12 evo2 on and they feel great.
Only problem is the Mother Fu(k#r's scratched all 4 wheels!
At least they stepped up top the plate and have a top quality wheel repair company coming on Monday to refinish all 4 wheels
My wheels were 8.5 out of 10 before, I guess now they will be 10's

Finished this Tamiya 1:24 scale model which I painted to match my own car.
Got some dust on the car prior to the pics. The paint actually came out okay. I'm quite rusty and haven't made a plastic model in probably 30 years.

The model car is great looking. I never learned how to get the dust off a model.

I love this idea! I've looked around for a scale model for my desk at work, but you cannot find one in the right colour (silver/metropol blue). Get a model and paint it! So simple it's brilliant! Thanks!

Test fitted a new-to-me spoiler cap and figured out what I did wrong when installing the last one. Now gotta wait for more rivets from Hendrick Porsche so I can install it.

Added Aux cable and deleted ash tray
I was bummed the ash tray delete didn't come with something to better cover up the star bolts. I'm guessing there is a rubber insert like the ones in the door sill cubbies, but I didn't know to order that.
Any one have a better solution for covering those stars so it looks more finished and they don't collect gunk?

It should have come with the rubber insert as part of the ashtray delete kit.

Just replaced the rocker molding. I ran over someone's alligator (shredded tire) and it ripped off the rubber edge. Got a replacement from the local Porsche auto recycler today and installed the piece today. Just like new.
