Noted! DobermanDad states he rolls thus we should meet at FeralComprehension's garage. A park along Hines is a great idea.

Missed this Xcoldricex. Heard the turnout was mostly 911s. Any pics?

Will be at St. John's tomorrow. If anyone sees this car, say hello!

Car is sweet. Love the Fuchs.

Just started polishing and waxing. Here's how the trunk turned out. Notice how faded it was if you look on the side panels on the left and right of the trunk. Can't even tell the words Carrera 4 were there. So happy with the results. Can't wait to finish this project. Polishing is definitely time consuming. What you see there was 7, then 4, then 2, then Carnauba wax which I let set for about three hours. My tail lights are so hit, really need to get them wrapped soon.

Thanks! Paint looks great!

Definitely know what you're talking about regarding the polishing. It's a full time job to bring it up to speed. Well worth it though!

I'm still debating my rear reflector. Just not a fan of replacing it with the stock part and none of the aftermarket parts look good either.

[quote=xcoldricex]what fuchs are those?

These are the re edition forged wheels that Fuchs is making. I ordered them last year from here: http://www.fuchsfelgeusa.com

I love the quality of the wheel. I wanted the silvers, but has to settle for the blacks. The wait was another month on silvers and I couldn't take it.

Awesome cars! Must've been a good turn out! Thanks for posting.

Plan to organize a gathering in late August!

kinda difficult to install, not 100% happy with it but it is miles better. have a few bubbles and the edges on close inspection aren't great but that's all user error. Gus gave a very comprehensive package including a squeegee, soapu water spray, popsicle stick, a razor, and extensive directions.

I'd still like someone to paint them or professionally install the tint.







no tint





side tail lights tinted





all tinted

That's me! Had a good visit with Tim Pott this morning to cover the KWV3 install. Were you there this am?

Need to get cracking on the D9O! Mid Sep or perhaps have it in tandem with the cars and coffee at Zingerman's. Thoughts?

Was that your red 964 in the lot this am?
