No problem to open the trunk with that new spoiler?
What paint did you use?

Thank you! As for fitment, the gap between the "frunk" and spoiler was a bit tight at first but managed to fix that with easy adjustment. As for paint, I use Rustoleum primer spray cans, and Duplicolor base coat and clear spray cans. My car is just plain black so I was able to match DupliColor's universal black to it.

I've always used Rustoleum primer and DupliColor paint for little projects and I swear you wouldn't notice it was a rattle can job. A good 2-4 hours of wet-sanding with 1500-2500-3000grit gets rid of all the orange peel and a nice buff at the end. Ill snap some pics of the paint when I get home

Quite a nice variety of P-cars. I took the following images:

Washed and vacuumed it. The wash ended up revealing that the hood has a decent number of tiny white chips in the paint. Black car not a huge surprise but it must have been buffed out by the previous owner and now my first wash has revealed it. It's not that bad but will probably try to buff them out a bit myself. If anyone has any good suggestions on the best approach I'm all ears.

Installed ROW M030 sway bars on my 98 base. If you have stock bars RUN don't walk and get some on your car. This is definitely the way the car should be. :dance:

Did you replace anything else, particularly struts? I have M030 sways in the garage, but was waiting to get new struts/springs. Mine are at 58,000 miles, so old (15 years) but not terrible.

This may convince me to do the sways early...

How difficult is in to remove old ones / install new ones?
I found DIY but just wanted a feeling...
Thanks.

I went to the Euro show in Central New York. I don't know why I got stuck between two turbos. My headlights must look that cool !!

I attended a club BBQ in my Boxster S. The club is for British Cars, and I renewed my membership just before selling my 1998 Jaguar XK8 convertible and buying the Porsche (not in that order, but I did not own four cars for very long !)

I mounted today my 10-spoke Carrera chrome wheels, I love them!



Now waiting for my Litronics to show up

Replaced the alternator which was back from the shop for repair, fitted a new serpentine belt at the same time and then took for a gentle test drive..... And then a faster test drive once I knew all was ok 😃

[BruceH]

Washed with Dawn to remove the old wax, clayed the paint and glass, polished, and waxed. I also cleaned the interior. I wanted to take the wheels off and clean the insides of them but never got there. Another day I guess.

IMS Retrofit, RMS, spare key done. Asked dealer to save original bearing and what do you know: a double row in perfect condition replaced by a new double row bearing������. Did I read somewhere the dbl rows had a 1% failure rate? FML!
