Still waiting on the right rear wheel, but I got the right side and clear markers on!

Beautiful job sir!
Still interested in your spring selection.... Are those Eibachs or Techarts?

Thanks Gixxer..he has Eibach right now (in the pics) but I ordered a set of TechArts thinking I didn't like the EIbach stance and they just arrived....after I installed the 21" wheels...now I'm not sure if I should install the TA as he sits kinds nice now...I'll drive it for a while and see what I think...the one setback with the Eibachs is the rear sits a little higher than the front so the car presents with a slight "rake"...some may like...some not..

Nanook, I think you should anodize those - it would look wildly good.

Finally got the wheel back! 12 hours of clay barring and wax, new clear markers, leather conditioner and summer tyres. Finally. The finish is now like glass; utterly smooth to the touch, well worth the effort as I have been neglecting it as of late. I am also very fond of the GT3RS intakes and skirts, makes the presence a little more 'there'.

It is the first time since the Techarts went on that I have seen it with the stocker summers, and quite frankly, I think it looks pretty damn good!

Had my windshield replaced, as it was pitted up rather badly. The car came from Palm Springs, so I'm sure the sand got the better of it. Also, I swapped out my winter tires and dropped in some new rims from Signature. Some quick pictures.

I still need to get the Techart Springs to lower it at some point. DSC from TPC. Maybe a COBB tune and Kline exhaust in the future also.

Thank you Sir; no anodized black, with a light polish. Will look something like this (not the truck, the wheels...):




Best finish ever for keeping clean.

Really love the GT3RS intakes, too bad they aren't as reasonable as the side skirts. $1200 bucks is hard to swallow for 2 plastic scoops.

Yes black would look good...is anodized better than powder coating ?

Absolutely, and more to the point, it can only work on billet (forged) material. Think of a Mag Light flashlight, same finish.

Not nearly as bad as having to swallow almost a quarter of a million (CDN) for a motorcar....

In that frame, the scoops are a deal...

Yes I did. I am also becoming a not fan of the film, it has been on the car for two years, 11k and it is looking very tough around the edges.
