Tires: $700
4 wheel alignment: $110
RMS, clutch, leak at valve cover: $3200

I've officially lost the glow from buying my first Porsche.
$3200 seems steep... The parts cost if you pay retail for a stock clutch/RMS should run <$650 unless you're replacing the DM flywheel as well. What exactly are you getting for the other $2550? That's 25.5hrs or more at most indies. The clutch/rms should only take half of that.
