Nope, original paint - there's one stone chip in the passenger side near the headlight, I'll touch it up 
Ducts came through my shop - they buy fiberglass ones, shape them, and paint. One screw near the signal (I'm changing out all of the signals / center reflector - the rear is cracked up pretty good).

You got a lot done in a short period, looks great!! I was aking about the ducts cause I got a set from rennspd and I'm not so satisfied why the product. I was wondering if the CF ones from gettydesign were better at 199$

I run 7mm spacers in the rear. But the need for spacers actually varies from car to car, quite a lot. I also depends on the exact dimensions of the rim since people sometimes swap inner or out rim parts to change width or ET.

Some thoughts...
In full US Cup race flavor, 20mm spacers used. So, my options appear to be:
1. 1/4" or 7mm flat spacer (inexpensive and light).
2. 14 or 15mm hubcentric spacer.
3. 18mm spacer / adapter (heaviest option).
My shop put studs on that will handle a 15mm spacer - so I can try some different options of 1 or 2... I'll let you know how it goes.

Ron Dont overthink it. The wheels will fit with 1/8' or 1/4' in the front .... and up to 20mm in the rear. The only possible variable would be the rolled fenders .. so maybe 15 mm - 18mm in the rear. Remember, these are my old wheels, made for my 964 cup usa car. You want the widest track that will fit.

Guys - one last question. Changing out front and rear studs and buying spacers all around is going to be an expensive proposition added to an already expensive 2nd Porsche. What I plan to try is a 15mm rear adapter to solve the rear offset issue and leave the front alone for now. Next winter I can tackle changing the studs and going with 7mm front and 15mm rear regular hubcentric spacers. Sound like a reasonable plan?
