^^^ Ah, OK, thanks. Maybe I'll download it and give it a try.

Went for an evening drive in the 914 to check out the waves and take some sunset pix:

I did some more detailing. Gas cap now sparkles. I'm doing a deep detailing on few pieces of hardware every day or two. Also, painted a couple small scratches.

Took it to Cars & Coffee this morning in Carlsbad, CA.

And, of course, went for a drive along the coast in it, as I do almost every day.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Glanced over, big ol' smile on her face...she'll have her permit in just over a year... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Got a big wave from a guy in a Carrera 4s... Was a good day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Those look like the $400. wheels I was going to buy from him a couple of years ago, but he didn't want to box and ship them on my FedEx acct. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) ... Tossing them (unprotected) onto a Greyhound bus wasn't acceptable to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

They're gonna look nice on your car, Noel

Hi sir Mark,

I paid $500 for the set of 5 but I ended up driving to Watsonville with my family and you know make it an overnight vacation in that area and off course spend gas, nice hotel for family and a lot of meals and snacks with 2 kids around. So this wheel costs moe than $1k. Hehehe just saying....... But the wheels are really clean no need to restore.

Now I will be needing 5 lug conversion

Thanks again Mark and God bless!

IIRC, I was still recuperating from surgery and PT 3 days a week, wasn't able to go on a road trip at the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I didn't know you were thinking about doing a 5-lug conversion ... just sold my 5-lug suspension components a month ago.
