Default Speckled bronze wheels

Pictures do not do the color of the wheels justice, really stands out in the sunlight and complements the lime gold metallic. Car still in shop.
Getting these things done for my 2015 GT3.
1. 3M all new racing stripes. Keeping similar to original but doing more matte gray and brighter red as oppose to the original light gray and dark red striping.
2. Tint car
3. Replacing new front splitter
4. Pedal Box (increases cars responsiveness)
5. New tires
6. Bronzing wheels
7. Exhaust bypass (sounds great)
Its going be there another week. Will post once complete

Those wheels are the perfect color for that car. Nicely done.

They are going to look great! What's this 'Pedal Box' you're referring to?

Sent a article on it. I had this pedal box installed in my audi r8 spyder and it makes the accelator much more responsive. And its also adjustable. Made a noticeable difference and because its not messing with ur ecu, dont have to worry about voiding ur warranty. I had this my manual r8 but it was made for a clutchless manual (pdk) and forgot to remove when I sold my r8. Its only $350 installed.

No brainer.
This bronze is literally stunning. It has speckled of metallic in it and sparkles in the sun. In the shade much tamer looking!

Also, if anyone is interested in a good quality exhaust bypass I bought a brand new one for 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the closest competition , just PM and I will forward. Just had it installed it on my car and sounds fantastic. Thick meaty tips too

Hmmm....... Cool! Looks like the SprintBooster.

But I've got to wonder...why doesn't Porsche or Audi make these adjustments to the signal from the get-go on cars such as the GT3 or R8...?
And I would guess this unit is increasing/amplifying/??? the signal from the ECU to the throttle body...? If so, do we know if there are any long term negative effects or any other trade offs?
It just seems too good to be true...no? Such a small investment and providing a nice benefit with no trade off.
Not arguing...just looking to learn more as I'm interested in the product.

I had it for 2 years in my r8, no issues. My only regret is not taking it out of the audi, because it is compatible with the GT3. Havent tested it out on the gt3, not until car is finished.
