I want the Seattle RS for parts - that car in beyond repair in my opinion . . but there are some very interesting parts on it that I'd love to get my hands on!

Are you gonna install these regardless of the doors? Wonder how that'd look.

No - won't work w/ normal doors without a ton of modification - hopefully a set of RS doors will turn up soon - still got fingers crossed that Seattle RS will make it to auction!!

Just finished spraying the new clear on the carbon roll bar - it looks absolutely incredible in gloss clear vs he factory matt - certainly is better than new now! I was lucky to find 2 of these - second one being prepped for clear as we speak. I had to order the connecting hardware and rear mounts - hopefully those come in soon so I can install in my GT Silver car.

right now I'm thinking Liquid Metal Metallic (9S8) - a special color that came on the 918.

The first set of S/T fenders showed up yesterday from Europe - AMAZING how light they are!! On the body front, Porsche required me to get the old body measured by a certified shop to assure that it was beyond repair (whatever that means) - got that done last week at West Coast Specialties in San Diego - Ryan there was very helpful - great shop. Now just waiting on Porsche to confirm that they will in fact sell me a replacement - fingers crossed! I've attached measurements so you can see how they measure - pretty interesting technology . . .

I ordered up a quart of the 918 Porsche "Liquid Metal Metallic" 9S8 to test out - $400 for a quart (Spies Hecker). That doesn't include the special base coast nore clears. . . it's a 4 part paint system - base / clear / liquid metal base / clear . . . but looks stunning. I can't wait to try this out, and hopefully do the entire car in this special color . .

The S/T / RS carbon roof panel showed up today from Porsche - beautiful! No just need to decide if it's worth retrofitting these to my GT3 Touring - the XM wart really bugs me for some reason, and I also really like the profiled look of the RS panel. Changing out the roof is a TOTAL PITA though - it took a full, frustrating day to remove the existing carbon panel from the project car.
special ordered with no cutout for XM antenna . . . very please with how these look!
