Very nice, Parnelli

Where did you get your clear corners from? I am looking to upgrade mine.

I find it really funny that I own one of these cars and NEVER get tired of looking at them when some pictures are posted.
So special....

Thx for the kind words guys. As far as the clear corners and 'lowered status' of the car I owe all of that to the previous owner. He's on this board from time to time and seemed to really know his sh_t when it came time to these cars.

And yes, these cars DO photogragh well!

Parnelli looking good- The corners came from Gert/Carnewal and if i recall I had Hergesheimers dial the PSS9's at 24 1/4 to the fender lip- it was the perfect balance between "too low" and "that aint low enough"- slight sideways in and out of parking lots and your good- front protection bar in case you dont angle enough. It's a nice feeling to have someone you've never met take the same care I did while I had possession - kinda like those sappy Patek Philipe ad's- "You never really own a Patek ...your only holding it for the next generation"

sidenote- my 2009 Cayenne turbo s paint is ****...the clear coat is non existent - Porsche getting all cheap- i could detail the 993 turbo myself and get 99% of the spiderweb / scratches out on a 10 year old car- ive done my Cayenne and had two guys spend 6 hours on it...still see spiderwebs all over.
