Nice Ruf steering wheel with the horn buttons close by the thumbs, this is what I would like to have too, one day.

Phil,
Would you mind taking a close up pix of the headlight treatment for us so we can see how well it is done? I'm still debating how I might approach this with my headlights later on, i.e. tint film, painting the headlight to body color then cover it with Xpel film, or painting the Xpel protection film then cover it with thinner 3M clear film etc.
Thanks in advance

Got the car aligned at Achtuning yesterday (www.achtuning.com) after fiddling with the coilovers all weekend to fine-tune the ride height and dampening.
They went above and beyond to get the rear suspension dialed in to my specific (non-factory) alignment settings to make the car more street friendly.
I went with .15 degrees of toe-in and -2.3 degrees of camber. This should hopefully greatly extend the life of the rear tires. It also significantly cut down on road noise from the tires with the reduced scrubbing and the car drives much better with no tramlining.

(sorry to turn this into alignment discussion...)

Yes, but excessive toe is much worse for your tires than a bit of extra camber. People generally equate a lot of negative camber with tire wear, but the cause of the tire wear is usually due to the excessive toe caused by the negative camber. If you can get the toe back in spec the camber isn't too big an issue.
Running a lot of camber certainly isn't ideal of course, but it's the lesser of two evils.

I would definitely work that out with you in a few months. They are 19's with brand new Falken's. I want to go with black rims as soon as I find a decently priced set. Gotta save up for the body kit and get rid of the GT2 wing on it also.
