Suggestion
If that is him, he should have bought a Coupe, because with the top down on a Cab, his ears will change the COD (coefficeint of drag) from .30 to 1.76, at least.
Replace those orange (pumpkins) front side markers

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.

Picked the "Silver Bullet" up yesterday. Drove about 160 miles back home from the dealership and it handled great.
Thank you all so very much for all the help and suggestions.
It is a 2003 with 40K miles, Porsche Certified Pre-owned Cabrio. I
feel very lucky to find one with the exact color combo and gadgetry (Silver with Black interior).
Comes pretty much loaded with Hardtop, Tiptronic (Traffic in DC area is awful if not the worst),
Nav, PSM, Heated and memory seats, chrome package, Bose, Xenons etc etc.
Let the mods begin.
At least you are prepared for modding! You can start by replacing those orange (pumpkins) front side markers. Get the clear/smoked instead. Super easy to install yourself in a few minutes.
Anyone else? Feel like modifying that exhaust?
Welcome aboard!!! And Good luck...drive it well....she's gorgeous.

Phil, maybe that is Mickey himself! If that is him, he should have bought a Coupe, because with the top down on a Cab, his ears will change the COD (coefficeint of drag) from .30 to 1.76, at least.
Thanks all for the warm welcome.
LOL @ Tim. As far as the COD is concerned, I don't drive fast but I hear you say it begs to be driven fast (I know it is such a drag!). My V1 is in my X5 (stealth in the rear center headrest with V1 display on the navigation itself). Seems like such a stealthy install is not possible here.
To Answer Phil, that is not my child. Thank god she does not look like her dad!
J, the orange looking pumpkins side markers I agree need to go. I am going to look into what options I have.
Ray, I believe they made only one with that color combo and I believe I bought it! :P
Question for all, is there a cover that goes on the front inside of the hard top latch? Seems like that is the only thing that is missing. Any part numbers?
Nice looking car and welcome to the best Porsche Forum in the world
I was shocked to hear that you had the only car in that colour combo...
, still as rare as it is, Speed Yellow is still faster
