Sorry it took so long to get back on the forum, been crazy busy. any way the wheels came off of a 930 in Trinidad and were Red before I did some changes to them. I know I need to lower it but I think I am going to hold out for a better suspension. I was looking for a more modern look that is why I took the GT2 stuff from Broadfoot and molded them into the body. I actually cut out so much fender material when I installed the kit as well as the fiber glass front end the weight savings is about 2 pounds. I know it is not much but I am building a fun car to drive not a strip car. The brake ducks on the front end have LED's for Marker light and turn signals so during the day it is kind of had to see them but at night they are great. I just got the LC1 and boost gauge and my windshield trim in the mail so now that is my weekend project before I can get Josh's kit. I will take some more pictures outside but yesterday when it was sitting in the sun the 2004 911 paint look sweet.

I really like that front end but thought only people used it for the track. How did you hook up the LED lights to the signal wires and where did you source the LED's from? Can you show some pictures of the lights mounted inside the brake ducts?

I will take some pictures over the weekend. I have two in each one for turns and one in each for running, I bought these ones from Radio Shack but just ordered brighter ones online. You just have to solder in resistors so the LED would have the same resistance of a normal light. well at least that is what I did

Well, everyone has their particular taste 
anyway I built the manifold and I am going to cut it up and put the baffles in it tonight and flow it this week still. The pipes are all 2.5" aluminum, the 66mm Tbody came from a 735I and i modified it to fit the factory porsche TPS (pics to come) The turbo is a crazy setup with a .63 T3 housing massaged to fit a HX35 Turbine. the compressor is a 7blade that Sid traded me so it should be fun. going to build the new down pipe and cross over pipe so housings can be swapped fairly quickly ( ten min or so ) going to build Sids as well, then have them both coated to retain heat. I will keep it coming!!
