Have begun working on making the car uniquely mine. Or just because I like to tinker.
The Porsche Sport Exhaust (aka PSE) is Porsche's performance exhaust. It has valves in the exhaust to make it louder at the touch of a button. It sounds fantastic...BUT...only between certain RPM. Apparently there's some noise regulation in Euroland where the exhaust can't be full loud between 30-80km/h...to keep things quiet in town. So the car sounds amazing up until 30...then quiets down to "normal" until you reach about 80km/h. Kinda defeats the purpose of this expensive option. Luckily, there's a way to defeat this...and that's what I did. So now it's on full rowdy all the time. IQ says in town, echoing off buildings it might be borderline loud. So we'll have to see what Johnny Law says about it.
Next, I think the back of the car look a bit...plain. I have the nice twin lip spoiler up front..but the back remains pretty tame. So to dress it up a bit, I've ordered a rear ducktail spoiler (like the Cayman R spoiler) from Joe Toth Composites, a small company in BC. It's due to arrive tomorrow with painting scheduled for next week. I'll post pics once installed.
Have installed LED throughout the car's interior, trunks, etc. Very nice update.
The front side markers on the car are orange and aren't terribly appealing against the silver paint. So I ordered up some clear, sequential LEDs. They were cheap, but I'm very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the units. I've only unboxed them thus far (IQ stole the Porsche today) and I'll post updated photos of them installed.
I really, REALLY want to go through and fix the shifter (I don't think Porsche shifters are great). But it will cost $600 USD to do so. Someone please save me from myself!
