Cool A few more pics

I dropped the rear ride height with the eccentric today and I think it looks just right. It's a big relief since now I won't need to do the torsion bars.
I installed the M030 sway bar while I was in there and also got my other door handle and the side skirts on.
Still more to do but it's getting there.

I just put these gauge faces in. This was probably the easiest job I've ever done to this car. You can almost see the new black shift boot from Rennbay and the shifter cap from Sam Grant.
Thanks to Joseph Mitro for the gauge faces!
I need to get to work installing the new seat upholstery (also from Rennbay).

Pete,
Your car is looking absolutely stunning. I do have a question though. Are your tire diameters smaller then stock? I really like the look of your wheels but the tires look to be a bit smaller. Anyways, beautiful car!!!

The tires are 225/40/18 in front and 285/30/18 in back. They're pretty close to the same size tires as a 996 Turbo.

Pete,
That is one of the best looking Porsches I have ever seen. I never really considered aftermarket rims but after looking at those it might have changed my mind. Seriously, one of my all time favorites.

Pics look great. Keep em coming.

I bet your neighbors have become quite jealous. Especially the folks with the Regal race car in the background, or whatever that large Detroit family sedan is with the 85 hp increasing raised white letter radials.

Is Tifo next up on the XSBoost paint? I want to be after Tifo if XS hasnt hung up the paint can for good by then.

Looks great Pete! I'm glad the T-bars are not a needed item now!

So, when should I bring the concrete and mixer over to re-grade your driveway so you and I can get in and out without leaving a donation of paint from our splitters?
