Default What did you buy your 992 today thread
It had to start at a point. Clear markers (I posted separately). PPF and ceramic later today.

Dashcam and hardwire radar this weekend.

Let's get these mods going...

PPF and ceramic coating. Garage late afternoon pictures don't do justice, I'll take some in the daylight this weekend.

Amazing how blemished the paint comes from delivery. Lots of thin scratches. I guess if you order a car don't let them wash or remove the white plastic covering before locking the paint. Even then the paint is not 100%. I bought from the lot, so no joy for me.

I plan to tell them not to touch the paint... no washing at the dealer! Hopefully will save me from having to polish the paint, or at least having to only do a minor one step correction before coating.

Maybe less paint correction, but some clay will probably be needed. Theoretically, there should be no swirl marks. My dealer messed the paint and the front lip.

Tap the radar wiring
On the pics, big silver nut on the back was my grounding. Couldn't find anything easier.
Last row towards the front of the car, below a 10A red fuse there's the empty slot that worked.

Uniden R7. In need of more distant detection. Let’s see what the arrows do to improve flow.

It's a good point.
I'm changing brakes and I'm afraid they may (probably )not fit.

380 mm, essentially the same setup as the GT3, replacing calipers as well. Waiting on Essex and their new kit.
