Dan,

Looks good...I think everyone on the east coast was out wshing their cars.
I have a set of CCW's SP-16s on my 996 which has the mesh pattern. A thin coat of wax helps to protect the finish from brake dust. You could just hose them off with water after every event.

I'm thinking about a safety devices roll bar for my car, which I believe is basically the same as the back half of their cage, so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks

oh and the car looks great btw
I like the cage, it is solid and fits well for a bolt in. As bolt ins go it is probably the best out there. That said I am going to replace it with a custom weldi n if I stay in the US beyond July (could be relocating). Everything is relative, great bolt in in but not as good as a good weld in

few pics of the crests and the cage for you

Thumbs up Wheel Wax

Used this http://www.wheelwax.com/ on my Club Sports and after four DE sessions, once the wheels cooled down, I hit them with a water hose. The dust came right off no rag or brush required.
Found it at Advance Auto. Very nice CCW’s, though black centers would be more menacing.

The R6s are entirely worth it, I love the difference they make

In order to get your interior from where it was in the last photo to where it was in the third photo...did you just grind the floor pan down and polish it out, or did you paint it too?
