Default Track car project update

I haven't done much lately but the new wheels are on and the GTS mirrors have replaced the aftermarket units I had on there. My Mychron digital dash/data install is crawling along.....still don't have the correct sensors. I should have my registration this week so I can do my road testing in the snow

wheels are Car graphics 18 x 10 and 12

ebay score ! they were supposed to be somewhat cosmetically challenged but I didn't care as they were intended for track use. When they showed up I couldn't believe how good they were. One small mark on one of the rears. I'm sure I can polish it out when I do a tire change.

Dang - that is a wicked, wicked looking shark you got there.

Your uber-scoop on the front looks like it's going to vacuum lesser cars off the track and devour them.

Thanks for the positive feed back My original plan was to go silver with some type of yellow or red graphics but now that it is painted I'm kind of stuck on the "basic" look of it. Maybe somebody has a suggestion? It doesn't have to be subtle (oops, to late for that) as it's not my only car.

I'd leave it alone.

It looks great.

what you got in that racer???

how did you do those front flares? looks like they could hit the tires under compression. have you checked travel. also, the rears look good too. interesting flare you dont see that often on a 928. same thing, will the upward travel hit the inside?

Hi Tass,

Your 928 looks KILLER!!

>Maybe somebody has a suggestion? It doesn't have to be subtle (oops, to late for that) as it's not my only car.

The first thing that popped into my mind was it needed some sort of side skirts to balance out the front spoiler/splitter. IMHO this would not only make it look lower, meaner, more balanced, but would be an advantage aero wise.

Either way it still kicks A$$!!
