That weekend is good for me. I have no idea about the route...time to look at a map, but nonetheless that weekend is good.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your wheels. What offset did you end up with? 60mm in the rear?

"You guys are too kind. Big reds or just red calipers would look amazing, i agree. What about yellow calipers or a dull gold color to match the color of the "BBS" emblem on the centercaps?

Jimmy,
I have to admit...this may be the best looking car I've seen on Rennlist. Whose wing & chin spoiler to you have on the car? I really like them.

The wing/chin spoiler are replicas from the GT2. They put on by the 1st owner (i am the third) and the previous owner does not know who manufactured them. The fit and finish is excellent, which makes me think they may be from MA shaw.

I really like the wing and have thought of putting that on my car...but, I have a wide body car and not sure what I could to for a chin spoiler that would look balanced.

Your wheels look great. I'm 6 mos into the indecision process - sort of stuck on the RH 3-piece 3.6 turbo lookalikes - did you consider these/what do you think of them?

PS - nice email address

That is a problem indeed...hmmm. The only thing I know you could add is the turbo S front lip, but i don't think it adds a significant amount of downforce. I guess your only option is to switch bumpers? Doesn't sound like a good idea though.

I thought I was quite clever with the email address

My main concern with getting new wheels was weight, so I only considered forged, single piece rims. The RH wheels are definately a great looking rim with style that matches the 993 well, but it's a bit too heavy for me. In the end though, get what makes you happy! Good luck!
