Default Calipers

Your set of calipers look just like the calipers on the 964 RS America that is listed in the m2m classifieds.

Default UPDATE - Seats

Somehow, this needs to be ready by tomorrow, so it can be sent overnight to California at a cheap price of $1,300 through FedEx.

This has become my favorite icon:

Repainted Seat Backs:







Cost is more then double what it should have been. I'm not satisfied with the result of the second painted either (i only used him because my upholsterer swore by him). There is no time, so this has to be addressed later.

Default UPDATE - Suspension

Those aren't the M0030 springs......



At the recommendation of Todd, the owner of LAPD i decided to forgo the M0030 springs and the uncertainty of the ride quality/comfort for my wife......

PS BRAND NEW set of M0030 springs for sale!!

Default UPDATE - Exhaust Tips

So these just had to go:


"Traded" them in for a set of brand new Turbo items:


So much better looking!!

There are so many parts at LAPD, and so many choices. Both New and Used items. This saved us a lot of time in the build process.... this was one of my reasons for using LAPD to do the build. We've encountered these issues constantly, and Daniel and Todd at LAPD were able to solve just about every problem and obstacle!

Ben,
Those sure don't look 'brand new' to me. Is that what you were told?

Did you put in the Bat console or did the car come with it? Are you leaving it as is or modifying it?
