Default PICS PICS PICS of my Upgrades

I couldn't hold out any longer. After I hit 50,000 miles, I did some upgrades, but didn't want to post pics until everything was done. All that's left is the Ruf front bumper, but here are a few teaser pics of the stuff that was done:

ROW suspension
5 Spoke Rims and Tires
7mm spacers(hubcentric fronts)
Fabspeed muffler bypass
Ruf Wing
Ruf Side Skirts
[Ruf front bumper being installed on Wed]
Third Radiator
Aluminum Guage Rings
Homelink Hack (in the works)


EDIT - All PICS INSERTED IN THIS POST The related thread is HERE. However, the pics are the same in both threads.

Looks very good man! I actually like the wing even better than the factory aero wing.

I would move or even remove the Carrera batch, seems too close to the wing for me. Do you run wheel spacers in the rear or are these aftermarket wheels? I thought the all 18' OEM wheels have the same offset but your rear wheels look to end just perfect with the fender outside; my 18' turbo twist wheels are deeper in the fender.

Thanks for the compliments all!

These are aftermarket rims from Wheel Dynamics - great guys and very knowledgeable. The rears have a 58 offset in the rear AND I'm also using a 7mm spacer on top of that. I think it gives the car a nicer stance from behind. Also, the 58 offset rims allow a 285/30 tire. The only downside is that the front rims are 57mm offset, and I really need 7mm spacers to be close to factory specs. But I had to take off my non-hubcentric 7mm spacers due to wheel wobble. I'm going to put on some 14mm when I get around to it.

[The wing has some sweet air intakes that I haven't posted pics of yet. When the front bumper is done, I'll post a full set of pics.]

Really nice and the condition of your car at 50k is excellent.

It kind of looks like you live in my neighborhood.

Looks great - could use painted bumperettes and exhaust tips.

Can't wait to see the front.

looks great, cant wait to see it with the front bumper.
I was going to go with that kit, but last minute found a great deal on a MK1.
Is that wing adjustable?
