I decided to spend a little quality time with my Cayman this week by hand-washing it. However, when I got done I noticed how tarnished and weathered the exhaust tips looked (after 2 1/2 years of neglect) compared to the rest of the car . . . kind of like taking a bath and not cleaning your . . . well, you know. 
So, today I took some Brasso, and dragged out my Dremel tool with some polishing wheels and compound, and went to work on it. After about an hour, I got it looking...

It seems that every day when I click on New Posts, about half of them deal with some aspect of car care - washing, waxing, polishing, sealing, shining, yada, yada, yada. It finally got to the point where I was feeling guilty about the $8-10 per week I spend on the automatic car wash that I have been using for the last 10 months since I acquired my P car - though to be fair, I usually do buy the most expensive wash.
And, now that the weather has warmed (in fact it is downright...

Whew.
My first major Cayman mod accomplished: installation of the Softronic Race Plenum/Throttle body (SRP). 
Originally, I had planned to have it installed at a local dyno shop by the owner/tuner there, but he had too much going on this week, and I was too impatient to wait another week or 2 for him to be available. Oh well, so no before-and-after Dyno results to share - but I did save about $500 doing it myself!
I had read the Softronic and segue007's...

(pdf file added for easier viewing)
Well, after a few weeks of searching, I finally found a shop to do my wheel alignment. It's a bit surprising to me how many alignment places either don't want to work on a Porsche, or (more likely) don't want to do an alignment to the owner's specs - which is what I was requesting when I called around.
Anyway, I found a shop which, while a bit more out of my way, was willing to do a "performance alignment" on my car. I gave them beez's recommended specs for a street/track...

I haven't been keen to modify the appearance of my Cayman with things like aero kits, wings, decals, etc. but when you hang out on C.C. for any period of time, you start to get caught up in the mod fever. So, I decided I would make a couple of subtle changes to make my CS look a little different from all the other Seal Gray Caymans out there.
I like the look of black foglight spears on other cars, because it somehow makes it look a bit more aggressive (maybe because it makes the...
