I've seen the car in person and yes, it looks great!

I've also seen Mike in person and I must say he looked kinda goofy in his baseball outfit driving this white beast!
(He was going to his son's baseball game or something)...

And Mike & OG, I still want to see photos of them coolers!
Better yet, we're having "special South Beach Breakfast Club" drive down to keys (not all the way down and not early in the morning, it will be lunch drive) nect month, you need to join us so i can see myself!

Greg,
Did those trim rings come from Imagine Auto. They're not shown on their web site....
Thanks,
JRG

Steve - Jay can be reached at 954-560-3175. He is currently working on a car for FVD for the Excellence Magazine 996 "Shootout." Leave him a message and he will return your call. I have no $ interest other than Jay being the best Porsche "wrench" I've had in 30 years of Porsche ownership.


FF - love to head down to the keys with you. My car is quite a bit "moded" since I last saw you. Got a new baseball hat to. Thanks to all that responded to my cars pictures. I must warn you I will post some myself once Old Guy teaches me how!

Once you've mastered the digital camera, time to move on to Photoshop

White and black cars are the hardest to shoot. In the case of this photo the exposure metering had to take the sky into account and so the car was underexposed and looks 'dirty'. In photoshop you can keep the sky unchanged while lightening the rest, which you could never do with a camera.

Mike - can you provide more details about your screen grills? how are they attached....silicon adhesive? and what was approx cost of the grills only? I was going to make my own but maybe going with Jay's set will be an easier DIY project.

TIA

Graham, Wow, that photostop sure works great. What a difference. I will hopefully get to the point where I can use it. That will be dependent on Professor Old Guy. He he can only teach my little brain one thing at a time.



FF- Jay Putnum is located in Pompano and works nights and weekends at his shop. He is FVD's head wrench during the week. Let me know if you want to come up this way and I can meet you there.


David, I believe the screens are screwed in, but truth is I am not sure. I don't know if he offers the screens alone but give him a call.

Mike,

I think I know now who Jay is, my PSS-9 was installed at FVD so I know some of the guys there.

Does Jay race 944 also? If yes, I definitely know him.

We could do one of our South Beach Breakfast Clubs so that we come up there since Jay works durring the weekends there. Could you come to our "SBBC Key Largo Run" on Saturday 13th?
We could talk more.
