I forgot to comment on the car! Emmanuel, that is a BEAUTIFUL car! I agree that the colored center caps would look great, but I kinda like the vents the way they are.

You'll dig Phoenix. Sunny dry weather most of the year. It DOES get HOT in the summer, though. (I'm talking 112-118 frequently), but the springtime and fall... and even the winter months can be mild. You'll have PLENTY of beautiful top down weather! I was just in Phoenix last month, and got the top down a couple times.

Keep us posted on the wheel/stain issue.

That picture of your emblem looks like it should belong in a Porsche catalog.
Nice job!

Great pics, you're a talented photographer. I miss my midnight blue sometimes. When freshly washed, I think it's the best...the rest of the time, pretty much a pain in the ass

As I mentioned, offline to another recent 987S purchaser, I think you'll find running a low-windshield mount on your V1 (?) to ultimately be a better solution. I've found no noticeable difference between low-high in the Box, and it's certainly less conspicuous. Particularly since the sun flaps on the Box aren't conducively angled for attaching a clip-mount.
