Scratch in PPF right above the drive rear tire.

Recommendations needed please. Came out of a store to this on my car, what’s the next move to get it fixed what could have caused that? Thanks in advance.

Wheel spacers
Red jack pads / lift pucks
Over $2,000 in value, asking $700 for everything.
Located in the Tampa Bay area. Shoot me a message if interested!

Porsche CPO 718 Boxster or Car Bravo CPO C8 2LT HTC?

Difficult choice since both have different upsides.

Boxster has heritage, prestige, brand, lightweight, more affordable to buy, but low power comparatively whereas C8 has presence, panache, personality, power, but too many quality/ transmission issues. Thoughts?

Joining the transmission replacement club

Went in last week for my 7,500 filter swap and ended up being told I need to get a new transmission.

The service guy took me out into the bay, and the tech pointed to a plug on the side that has a small drip leak. Apparently that can't be fixed at the dealer and needs a whole transmission. Anyone else have this happen to them?

They gave me the choice of just buttoning it back up and taking it home or leave it there and get a loaner. It's still very drivable, which is annoying, so I took it home.

I'm happy that the tech was thorough and checked all the right spots, but it's kind of a bummer as the car has been running great.

They said a new transmission would be here in five to seven days and then two to swap.

I plan on driving 1,700 miles right after I get it back so any tips on what to check on after I pick it up?

I don't want it to die on my trip.

My C8 Z51 with High Wing

Looking at it from inside the gym and still adjusting to the new height of the wing.

So I did a lil something to the Z51

Please ZR1 guys dont come at me im just in absolute love with the hood and ill be custom painting it. I promise within the next year ill have a real 1 ! Put some side skirts on her too. Im ok off the splitter I dont have the front lift system and the streets of LA are straight garbage. Id rather just be OK with replacing a 120$ splitter instead of a 1k$ Carbon one. I already destroyed one lol.

I promise ZR1 guys ill have a real one within a year. Check back on me I fucking guarantee it. Getting into a C8 has never determined me more to just keep moving up and up. One day I might even get a ZR1-X. Im in absolute love with this platform even living in LA with exotics and super cars everywhere I still feel like a damn boss. My ultimate goal is to get up to a ZR1-X!

Texas Weather Sucks

Go figure my car gets delivered on Friday and its rained ever since lol. All I can do is wipe it out (all the time) and play with the settings. Fingers crossed Monday clears up.

New to me Stingray

This car is a narcissist’s wet dream. Driven around twice stopped and approached a dozen times. Awkward for you too?

small rant

So I've had my C8 for five months now - have loved having the car - done a few small minor mods. About 2 months ago - after letting the car sit for 3 days - The battery went dead, had to boost it - took it to the dealership, they replaced the battery and told me that there was a series of batteries that we "crap" right out of the factory. Well, went to start my car this morning, after letting it sit for 3 days - guess what..... Dead.

I drive the car frequently and for decent amounts of time - I have my keys kept well away from the car. I'm sick to death of having a reoccurring issue of inconvenience like this

Any ideas?

and after the last dead battery - my front lift doesn't work - so it's going back to the dealership again. :(
