You should consider becoming a contributing memeber as you will get access to many more areas of this great site such as the TSB's. There are TSB's on the the various Aero pieces installs.

That's odd. My Sunset invoice that I am looking at has Part# 996 505 986 92 01C AS SPOILER List $243.63 Net $180.29

No easier or harder after the fact. Do a search for Orient Express (screen name) install of the PSE and electronics. We detailed and a great write-up. YOu could do just the cans right now and then comes back later to do the electronics. YOU can have the cans done in as quick as 30 minutes, but most DIY'ers take roughly 1-2 hours. Personally I gladly paid the dealer $100 to do it since it was worht my time and all the small business I can throw their way goes a long way after my warranty runs out.

1 hr for the cans and 6-8 for the electrical so you dealer is quoting acurately (and slightly lower as Loren stated based on TSB TU's). I personally could care less about the electricals (as do most) and just installed the cans. My dealer offered to do it for 1 hr ($100) and that was worth it to me since I was crunched for time. WIfe and I talked about the electronics and after driving it for some time she is glad we didn't waste the money on them.

NOTHING QUITE LIKE THE SOUND OF PSE!!!

The "RMS Issue" is really a non-issue. Do a search on the topic and you will be reading from here till the end of time. Basically, an $800-$1000 fix and pales to the "fixes" that earlier 911's required. If the RMS is the only thing that has you worried then you are doing fine.

BTW, you are not nuts if you do your homework and due diligence in getting it totally looked over (PPI) and checking on it's full history. YOu can do this with the owner/dealer/and PCNA all with the VIN#.

You should get an amber bulb with the clear replacements. I use the amber bulbs behind the clears in my Pepper but in the 911 I use the original clear bulbs behind the clear side lenses.

That has got to be the weirdest post I have ever seen! Very cool. My suggestion would be to replace the airbag and store it inside to prevent smears, etc.

I bought the GT3 bumper for $1500 from B-Wine about a year or so ago at the same time I bought my side skirts and PSE from them. I have seen them on eBay from a vendor for about $900 but not sure if it is factory or aftermarket fiberglass.

The wheels are the 02+ lightweights and they are the EXACT size and offsets that go on the car..... 8x18 50et up front and 10x18 et65 in back. 225 in front and 285 in rear.

As for the color it may be the clear bra reflects light different than the non clear bra hood and fenders. But there is absolutely no different shades of color. Just crappy photography on my part.

Jason, This thread ( http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4095&hl= )should pretty much cover everything. It talks about cost, install, etc.

Hope this helps out. :cheers:

Thanks again for the compliments!

I paid $1095 shipped from B-Wine about a year and a half ago on an eBay auction they had at $1095 buy it now and shipping included. Funny thing is the day before the auction posted I called them to inquire about the litronics and they wanted $1500 plus shipping. Thought that seemed high. Funny how things work out. One thing about the litronics though. They are very popular amongst the theifs in certain parts of the country so be VERY CAREFUL if you decide to buys used (cough....I mean stolen) on eBay. Don't want to bring that bad karma on yourself.

BTW, thanks for the compliment Chronos. :cheers:

Sure is!!!! One of the best colors ever produced. Can't tell you (since I am sure you experience the same) but I get so many people come up to me and ask what color it is since it is so beautiful. Just a very classy looking color for the car.

Here is my MY2000 with Litronics. (factory OEM lights....about $1500)

What, are you a girl now? When girls get backed into a corner instead of admitting defeat or being wrong, they act childish and use that typical "whatever" bailout.

I would respect you more if you would answer the questions I posed and have an adult conversation. Then again, you last response summed it all up.

Nope, nice try though. You essentially are looking for a freebie and they have no idea who you are from Adam and for all they know will never go back there. Remember, they are the ones that paid a hefty sum for the PST2 and the yearly $3K udpates so they need to recoup the money back somehow.

By the way, being a SA for BMW has nothing to do with the price of tea in China. Do you have the EXACT same policy with ALL who enter your dealership wanting a freebie? Didn't thnk so. Besides, if you are a SA with BMW, I would beg the question, why no professional courtesy chat with your Porsche SA?

My dealer did it gratis. This is something that really pisses me off when dealers don't do it. It is the easiest way to establish a good rep with your customer. BUT......if you don't use that dealer for service in any way shape or form then you should be charged the hour. I happen to have a great relationship with my dealer and have the greatest service advisor and would never expext to be charged for something like that and to date (3 years and 2 porsches later) I have never been charged for misc things like this.

It all comes down to your relationship with the dealer. If they don't know you from Adam then you will probably pay, if you use them for service form time to time and just pop in to say hi every now and then chances are you will get many services gratis as appreciation for your patronage.

Just hit the CAB button on your dash to stop the procedure when the windows start up. That is what I do.

Are you sure they are TRUE centerlock wheels and not a dummy lock that still has the five bolt holes?

Thought it was 96 ft-lb (130nM)? So close it doesn't matter but just thought I would provide the accurate information.

For people who don't track their cars, will they have RMS problem?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It appears that alot of people that have reported having the RMS problem have been those will low mileage where the car wasn't driven as hard, especially on the track. Driving the car like it should have been driven allows the seals to seat better in the beginning days and those that didn't seat as good, well you know what happens. But as Loren said, it happens to be one of those things that is not prejudicial......it has happened to all types.

You would think by now they would be able to figure out if it was a series of VIN's that were in a bad batch, but that isn't the case either. Very disturbing annoyance if you ask me! Fixable under warranty, alot fixed after warranty, roughly $800 if you have to pay out of pocket so no big deal, but a huge annoyance as I said.

Great article. One of the first I read when my subscription showed up!

Install pics to assist others in the future.

Why don't you post your question so you can reach a larger audience. You probably won't get many responses by asking for people to email you.

That is awesome! Any pics to post???

Did you maybe have a 7.5x18 rim? My original Sport Designs were 7.5 and sat in a bit further.
