Checked the feeding tube was keeping my baby happy while in Winter storage.

Couple of things! Put Sliplo skid plates on and replaced the lower black bumper trims. Couldn’t be happier with the results.

I installed my long-awaited titanium wheel studs and nuts. Everything went well until the so-called “Pro” torx kit T40 broke while torquing one of the studs. Don’t try this without the best quality Hazet or similar tools or you will be adding complication to a simple job. How to get tool steel remnants out of a titanium fastener, you ask? Beats me.

Drove my GT4 for the first time in a month...running some errands. At one point saw a lady in her car circling mine in the parking lot videoing it. It's a Cayman for Pete's sake. It's not a 959. Still have yet to take a picture of it as I come up on 9 months of ownership! I was going to today then forgot to while running errands. I was in a hurry to get back and take my MV Agusta F4 out for a spin.

I'm just not one to take many photos, and 30 years ago I actually worked for a professional photographic supply selling view cameras, medium format equipment, studio lighting, etc. I love photography but not necessarily phone photography. I'll take a picture soon. It is a stunning car. Sapphire blue, PCCB, leather/alcantara with yellow stitching, LWBs, black GT4 wheels, SC. Even has sapphire blue vent slats. After I departed the errand where a car circled it, I drove to the grocery. With windows down, a lady crossing in front turned her head to say, "that's a beautiful car." It and my 3 Spyders are about the only Porsches of 11 I've owned which would receive compliments. Well, maybe my 2017 Targa S too, but that was my wife's car now replaced with a Range Rover which I actually like better.

Pictures please.

I think that Saphire Blue is a stunning color on a Cayman for some reason.

I have Lapis on mine and people compliment the color all the time when I drive it.

Looks good. Why didn't you just use the pre-made mesh that customcargrills.com sells for the cayman?
