I'll try and make a thread about this but Thanksgiving is racing towards me, so here at least is some in car footage.

Mt Tam -- Those are great videos.

How did the Super Sports hold up in the wet for you?

Perfect. The Porsche guys who have PS2's are all envious of PSS's and are upgrading to them when their current wear out, or so they said. The big complaint about the rain was every body had summer tires (me too), and it was too cold (high 40's). Lots of Nittos and Hoosiers.

Super Sports; Best tires I've ever had. Thank you onzedge for the recommendation and keeping me from all seasons.

It quit raining, so I took a few photos. Besides the glamour shots, I included a few pictures of the stitching dye job, my first attempt using Di-Noc and the Nav By-pass switch where I covered the seat diagram with the Z button from a valve stem cap. Still waiting for my matte finish carbon fiber interior bits. Should see those in a few weeks.

When I get the Nismo nose job done, and the interior bits installed, I'll probably create a real album.

Lots to look forward to in the next few weeks!

Looks great! I really need to do the same to mine. I HATE not having a garage right now, but I LOVE no rent.

I don't know about you, but that DiNoc stuff is sooooo easy to use, and it can be addicting.

Thank you. It is really easy, and worth the effort.

I just exchanged e mails with Baker Tuning, and the springs just got ordered, so I'm in deep now. Install for everything is now scheduled for Dec 8 - 16 while I'm out of town on a business trip. Hopefully, my carbon fiber interior trim will be in soon too.

I'll post pics when it's all done. The before and after should be pretty dramatic.
