Drove it about 50 miles - mostly in Sport+ - to get milk and some veggies. Total cost of grocery bill, $11. Plus, a similar amount in gas burnt. Great investment. I'm now ready to take on the day...T

This past week . . . High Pressure Fuel Pump, serpentine belt, belt tensioner and a 20,000 mile service about 5k miles early just for good measure . . . Luckily the joys of ownership outweigh the occasional $3,000 bills. Porsche did goodwill the fuel pump and tensioner so got out for $991. Porsche Nashville rocks.

Installed Zunsport grilles today. 20 minute install tops (including the Zunsport badge ). Doesn't appear that the hooks are grabbing much of the inner bumper but a slight tug of the grilles from the outside seated the grilles a bit and felt solid.

it wiped off with a clean towel. I was the only one hit. It least it was on the outside of the car and not in the interior!

That looks sweet! I keep thinking a gold brushed wheel set would look great with my basalt black 4S.

I think you should go Matte Bronze rather than gold - on black, that would look so good. Something in this shade in any wheel style you like.
