987/987.2 wind deflector installation pics If you guys want to install a wind deflector, here's some pics. I bought this from a P9 member for cheap.. make sure you asked if there's mounting kit included.. that would cost you an additional $50+ ... mounting kit part number for all 987 - 98756190102 still cheap compared to the retail of $450..lol tools needed - Rivetter, flathead screwdriver.. First open the top,put the seats all the way towards the front and remove all the headrest pads.. puling them out, in my case they were easy, Author alex911s Category Boxster/Cayman (987-2) - Mods Submitted 03/03/2012 05:02 PM

If you guys want to install a wind deflector, here's some pics. I bought this from a P9 member for cheap.. make sure you asked if there's mounting kit included.. that would cost you an additional $50+ ... mounting kit part number for all 987 - 98756190102 still cheap compared to the retail of $450..lol tools needed - Rivetter, flathead screwdriver.. First open the top,put the seats all the way towards the front and remove all the headrest pads.. puling them out, in my case they were easy, but I saw some posts that they had a hardtime pulling it out.. 987's comes with predrilled holes for the mounting kit.. Line up the mounting kit.. kit comes with 4 rivets, use a rivetter to install the kit.. left side - right side - this small piece needs to be installed on the middle cover using rivets provided.. the kit comes with 8 new plastic pieces , replace all 8.. the old ones will get damaged when the headrest cover gets removes... reinstall all 3 piece headrest pads/cover..same way finish side view install the wind deflector in the middle slot, sorry i havent cleaned the glass..lol that;s it, installed pics.. now better to commute with the top down:) -

Cayenne Turbo S no question.. only made in 2006, very limited.. and 520 HP..:D but make sure it's certified or you can extend the warranty:) the only thing I like on the new Cayenne S is the sport button and power tailgate..LOL what do I know I only had 7 of them ... hahaha

I've had the B&M ssk on my boxster before and the oem ssk on my 996 carrera.. but nothing compares to the 987/997 shifter assembly.. shorter throws, easy to shift/precise such a blast to drive. Some shift knobs like this uses tork screw, like what other says make sure you watch out and dont knock your teeth off while pulling it..:icon501::evilgrin: old one.. the longest to remove..LOL old one coming off I cant tell the difference..lol 997 at the bottom new one is in part # Finish product

wow .... the ride height is awesome... Can you post sound bites, i know there are people here who wants to get them:D have fun... -
Took the car to the Dealer and they told me that the upper strut bearing is different, i have to purchase it for $800 so I said no way,LOL so they didnt do it.. Took a '99-01 upper strut bearing for the front, connected it to the X74 bolts right in, no problem.. It's a matter of it's recommended by Porsche or not... the PSS9 coilover has one part for 99-04, should be all the same.. Mine's all assembled, i'm having Sharkwerks install it next week.
