You will still get some pebbles but they remain on the film. Have done about 12 track days with it and think it is fantastic.
Thanks for the info...been reading about the nano and it seems that is an amazing option as well.

Around $2500 for full front, rockers, a pillars, mirrors, lights, and front of hood. That includes NJ sales tax. The installer did need some time correcting my paint and cleaning up the car the best they could after 3100 miles and 5 track days.

The coverage for the rockers starts/stops high up on the rear fenders, much higher than the factory triangle which is removed. You also get coverage in the wheel well arch. I will take some pics and attempt to show the line (you have to be standing at just the right angle to light to see it).

I didn't do anything with the back bumper.
Looking forward to the pics of the rear rockers...will be interested to see where they stopped and how it flows...but as you said it is barely noticeable so they did something right. Thanks for your assistance

It appears he got the Michelins from what I can gather on the look of the tread pattern.

2 offerings and the car comes with what it comes with, its random. Dunlop Sport Maxx Race or Michelin Sport Cup 2's. Both great tires. Be happy you got the Michelins, it is a great tire and looks better too on the sidewall. I got Dunlops...

Interesting...I thought the SC2's were the only tire...wonder which will wear the best? All depends on usage I guess

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...SortCode=60158

Looks like the N0 (Porsche specific tire) on the michelin are a bit harder than the dunlop so you may get a bit more grip on the dunlop and more wear on the michelin based off the 180 vs 80 rating. The K1 ferrari same PS cup 2 are $335 on the front vs $506 1/3 less for the same tire.

Michelin are cheaper and will last longer- I've been a michelin person before so thats where I'd go on replacement. with Ferrari K1 fronts & N0 rears being less than the k1 rears.

That's odd... Why are the tires for the F car less??? Especially since it's apparently the SAME? EXACT? tire.....?????!!!?

If the specs on the Tirerack page are accurate, the Ks are narrower than the Ns in section and tread width. Less rubber easier to manufacture, less cost. From what I've read they have less grip as well when used as a replacement on GT3s.

With that being said then how come the N0 rated Dunlop has narrower tread than both?

Just a thought @ $342 more for a different stamp on the sidewall- doubt I could ever tell the difference. I have plenty of businesses that I treat like little Oliver so that could go a long ways..
