Bought another Cayenne a few months ago but a 2012 S this time with a rear locker. Lots of little things needed to be fixed so I’ve replaced bubbling air vents, all new door handles with sensors, sticky knobs, new ABS sensors, new fogs, redid the sagging headliner, added CarPlay, new brakes, new fluids, lift, wheels, tires, etc.

The 958 is way more livable than my old 957 and has things little things like AC'ed seats, which make it feel a bit more modern but still has a V8 rumble.






New Tips


New headliner and pillars



Updated Steering wheel and airbag


First time wrapping and I read that gloss was easier than matte so I stuck with gloss and liked the Chalk color. It isn't perfect but not bad. The front bumper had vinyl inserts around the fogs but they didn't look right so I pulled them, may rewrap the front bumper because I'm not happy with it.








While I did new rotors and pads, figured I would add some color





Winch plate just arrived


Working on integrating some Baja pods into the factory lights.

Funny you say that, your thread and mention of wrapping the BMW made me update my thread. Minus your fender vents and front bumper grill, that car doesn’t look too bad to wrap.

I'll likely end up wrapping the Midget once I get to working on cosmetics. Not too many complex curves, undecided if I'll attempt DIY

Get a heat gun, a ton of razors and razor less tape and watch a ton of YT videos, it isn’t bad once you realize how the film stretches and reacts to heat.

I'm thinking the hardest parts are going to be the front fenders & nose. The rest is pretty simple curves. Probably practice on the hood/trunk, since they look the simplest.

Nice job with the wrap indeed! I tried wrapping some interior pieces which does demand some patience, but it does make a car wrap seem a little more approachable. Updated wheel is sweet too, I remember Porsche trying different paddles that didn't really catch on.

Would love to see a photo with the headlights on.

Thanks and still working on mounting and aiming the lights but slowly getting there. I wrapped some interior pieces and found the exterior way easier.

Nah, sold the green one and since I made a few dollars on it, figured I’d reinvest in a newer depreciating asset.

Ah nice. This is sweet though, love the DIY wrap job, it looks great!

What did you do for the headliner? Upholstery shop or just buy a new OE one?

Thanks and I pulled it out, scraped the foam off, and recovered.

Mega job you’re doing!

my DIY achievements include spraying some wd40 on a lanai door that wasn’t working great… [/end of list]
