Regarding DE and the bra, I would strongly recommend NOT using that bra at a DE.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Nice car and amazing price !!! Though, if I were you I'd take off that front bra and install a clear bra for protection ...
Personally, I don't have a clear bra or anything on my car but if you're going to have a bra on a porsche, you should have a clear one. Something so beautiful shouldn't be being anything else !!
Regarding the Bra...I couldn't agree more. Those pictures were from the seller who left the bra on the car. I left it on for the drive home and then removed and stored. It may come out for DE events but thats about it.
Thanks,
Mark
The car is also a little too low for daily driving. Since the coilovers are adjustable, I will probably raise it an inch. It currently sits at 25" on all 4 corners.
Congratulations and best of luck.
Regarding DE and the bra, I would strongly recommend NOT using that bra at a DE. It is virtually impossible to not get dirt/grit under that bra (assuming everything is dry...wet is another story all together) and for the bra to 'flap around' at speed, scratching the clearcoat.
If you prefer to not go the 3M clear bra route, I would suggest quick detailing the nose when you arrive at the DE, applying LOTS of wide 3M blue painter's tape to the nose, headlights, etc....and removing it once you're done. Looks funny, but works well and won't damage the paint.
Good point...I hadn't thought about that. Thanks for the comment.
To be honest, I really don't know much about the stereo. It's alpine w/JL sub behind the back seats and a huge JL amp in the front trunk. The PO said it was a 6K system but I don't have the reciept for it (although most other reciepts were included).
From what I can tell, the seats are Sport Toplines. They sell them on Rennlist

Beautiful car, even better price! Did you buy it from a dealer or a private party? My P-car fund will be fully funded in October, so I am lookiing for a good place to spend it.
I bought it from a private party...Although I did see some deals at dealers too. I bid on one from a MB dealer who was asking $39,900 for the car and it ended up selling for $34,500 (ebay). It had about 40K miles and full leather. Looked like a nice car. I was very pissed that I didn't win it but then I found this one and quickly forgot about the other.
Good luck.
Mark
