Charlie's 2008 Porsche 997 turbo

I finally got my Porsche's window tinted and love the look. I had 70% UV blue Xpel film put on my windshield and 30% UV black Xpel film put on my side and rear window to achieve this look. It is a necessary addition when living in areas where your car has a lot of sun exposure.

Did some detailing work on my Porsche yesterday in preparation for a local car meet I was invited to . . .

as I was detailing the paint surface I could see this car really needed a good detailing and waxing which I was able to provide. Car looked nice for the car meet.

The owner of the shop hosting the local area car meet last night was so impressed by my Porsche that he had me park my car inside next to these beautiful blue exotics. As I was backing my Porsche into my spot, I told one of the owner "here comes a peasant" in comparison to the two exotics I was parked next to. Then to my surprise, this beautifully set up GTR was parked in front of my Porsche. There were lots of beautiful cars at this local car meet. Nice to meet a few local enthusiasts last night.

What is the car parked directly to the left of your car?

Peter,

PCCM+ can be purchased thru this link right here:

I have CarPlay on my PCCM+ headunit and the screen is touchscreen. For the 997 this is one of the best interior upgrades. I also highly recommend getting the bi-LED Morimoto XB headlights as they bring the 997 more up to date. The lighting is amazing and I really love the 4-point DRLs these headlight have. :thumbsup

Today I added some black alcantara to a few plastic parts that had been scuffed to clean this area of my door jam and mounted my rear facing camera. Something I have been wanting to do for a long time now . . . today was the perfect day for it.[emoji41]

Perfect day for that, and gardening (for me).

It was. I started my day by pulling out my Porsche and give it a good, much needed, hand washing which then led me to take on two projects that I have sidelined for quite some time for this car so I made use of the nice day and got those projects finished. I have been waiting awhile to get this done and the car looks so much better and also has added functionality with the rear facing camera setup.

My M3 will be the next car getting much needed "car spa" treatment very soon . . .
