New pics: Clear Blinkers, Fikse's and Ruf Splitter
Sorry for the gloomy lighting (you'd think I lived in Blighty) but I thought some folks might be interested in the latest tweaks.

Thanks, guys, for the kind words. Yeah, I'm fairly pleased with the results myself.
Good catch, Burgass. I'm running -3 degrees of camber front and rear. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (R compound) in 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 sizes. The wheels are 8 x 17 and 9-1/2 x 17 with offsets of 55f and 50r.
Most of my miles involve track or autocross events, so I'm more interested in cornering ability than uniform tread wear. In fact, the outside shoulders usually wear out well before the inside edges due to the demands of track driving.

Beautiful job, Joey. It's not the mods themselves but the combination, especially with the black paint: definition of "synergy." Way to go!
When's your first track event? Looking forward to hearing how you like all the new equipment. Joe W.

Joey,
You car looks AWESOME! Where did you get your clear lights and was there any trick to replacing them?
Also, which brake air ducts (in place of the fog lights) did you go with? Did you replace them yourself or have a shop do it? How hard is it do route the air hose? What happens in the rain?
Once again..........you car looks AWESOME!

Thanks, again, fella's! 
Jim (Forklift), You NEED some Fikse's. They're so choice. Even if you don't have the means, I highly recommend picking some up! (great line, Greg
)
Kenny, Sweet car! The FM10's really seem to go well with black!
Joe W, I'll have to send you a pic of your old SPG's in their new home (we swapped race buckets, everyone). First outing is at Road America this weekend but rain is in the forecast
. At the very least, my C4 will definitely be one of the fastest cars in the field.
Flagg, I bought the $200 clear blinkers from FVD. There are better deals out there but these required zero tweaking (apart from drilling out the side marker bulb hole). I bought my duct inlets from MA Shaw and had my body shop paint, prep and install them. No duct work just yet.
