Thanks for all the nice comments, guys! It's greatly appreciated!
Good eyes... It is the RavSpec roof spoiler. I attached it with double sided tape, but didn't use the tape it came with on it. I removed the generic tape that RavSpec supplies and used 3M tape instead (same as I used on my Stillen spoiler and that came on the AutoKits rear diffuser), along with the adhesion promoter. Seems to be holding just fine.
Haha. Thanks man! That's been my baby for as long as I can remember. It will be 20 years old in August and only has just over 100K miles on it and is in virtually mint condition. I'm probably gonna sell it this year, though.. I only dirve it ocassionally (less than 2K miles / year) and the wife wants a new kitchen. LOL
LOL.. Too funny!
The wheels are 20" x 9.5" +25mm up front and 20" x 10.5" +37 in the rear.
I forgot you are from Cali too... How long you in Dubai for, or is it a permanent transfer?
I was debating over the CF and painted on too... I just figured I buy the CF, put it on and see how I like it first, and if I decided I didn't like the CF look, then I could just have it painted. I do think I'm gonna stick with the CF, though... I really like it with the IP paint and I also plan to do some other small CF accents on the exterior soon, so that should tie it all together.
New pics will be posted soon. Just need to find some spare time to take the car to a nice location for a mini photoshoot.

If your car wasn't equiped with the camera from the factory, I've heard of people adding it and using the video input on the auxilary input in the center console for the display. I'm sure that you could wire it with a relay that is triggered when the car is put into reverse, so it works just like the factory one.
So far, so good! The white calipers actually don't stand out as much as I though they would (which is a good thing)... Almost everyone that's seen the car since the install hasn't even noticed the calipers until I pointed them out... even my wife. LOL
I know thats your real toy!!!

Hahaha.. I definitely will let you know if I do get rid of it. Truthfully, the only reason I haven't sold it already is because they are so rare and the value has gone up quite a bit over the past 5 years. They only imported less than 5000 S2's from 1989 - 1991, and less than half of those are convertibles. They estimate that there are only around 1200 S2 convertibles still on the road in the US, so there aren't many.
The car does handle great, especially considering how well it rides (although, it is due for new suspension... actually been considering Bilstein coilovers for the past year). For a convertible the chassis is amazingly stiff, even by today's standards. It was supposedly the stiffest (chassis wise, not suspension wise) convertible sold in the US in 1991. It also weighs less than 3000 lbs and has factory brembo's, so it stops on a dime as well.
It used to be my true toy, but since getting the G I haven't really toyed with the Porsche much. The Porsche will always be my true BABY though. LOL

Here are a few pics of the Porsche.
Body is virtually perfect except for a handful of nose chips and a few small dings. I just got finished replacing the interior carpet and some of the trim pieces (ones that faded), plus the interior leather is still in like new condition, so the interior looks as good as, or better than the exterior.
Spring cleaning.... Just pulled all the wheels of the Porsche the other day for a full cleaning inside and out.
