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.

had some service done today and i took advantage of my car being up to take a pic with my cellphone. i just like how smooth the undercarriage is for aerodynamic purposes.
also, sliced open the oil filter and not particles. nada, zip, zilch.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here who takes lift shots! Here's my 04 Boxster S on the lift last year DIYing the 45k maintenance. (Love those $2.50/hr lifts at the auto hobby shop!) The 986 shares most of the underbody panels with the 996 (even have the same part numbers), but it differs towards the rear:
Not really the greatest representation of a Boxster belly, though, considering half the one rear-most panel is broken off and missing... which was unfortunately incredibly understated in the PPI and I didn't realize it until I did the 45k inspection myself. "some cracking" my ***! Word of warning: don't let hacks jack your cars, guys, those panels carry the Porsche tax!
Whats the best way to remove the cosmoline from the engine and trans? I like to see raw aluminum and magnesium instead of the burnt toast looking coating all over the underside.

He was talking about the wide, curved shaped plateat the front of the car. Yes, that is an aftermarket skid plate to protect the nose. I don't recall where Dan got it.
Jeez Phil, you are not telling these guys the "whole" story. You and I both know that your wife will not let you use the skateboard with out the training wheels attached.
Especially since it's in the garage with the Porsche anyway. Why do you think it looks so good. You'll notice, it's a Ferrari skateboard. Only the best will do.
The minispoiler is stock on the 997s; the skidplate I got from Performance Products in order to try to save the bottom front. I think it's helped me to keep from losing that little flap spoiler up front (commonly loosened up and lost by my 997 drivers). That skidplate is mounted with more hardware than PP sent along. I made a few more holes and I picked up some more matching hardware to install it better.
The off-color part in the front area is the bottom of the fuel tank.
The headers are X51.
Hey there! Man, I'd KILL for one of those skid plates! I have the driveway from hell and it is impossible to leave without hitting my front on the ground... drives me insane! Then, I saw your skid plate!
Can you ask dan where he got it? I'd be much obliged!
