A few years ago. I cannot remember exactly when and I see that they don't display anything older than last year.

No worries. Kudos for you and your wife anyway!

Wow, the PDR guy did a masterful job- hood is perfect. He may need to watch the burgers and fries (huge guy) but the man does great work.

Now everyone is happy! You got your hood fixed and we got to see the reason you needed to have the hood fixed!

She doesn't work out? Has 2 kids? That's impossible! I'm calling BS on this one. Her abs are way too flat. I don't see how this is genetically possible.

I have to admit that it surprises me also.

My wife was in great shape before we had our first kid. 3 years on, two kids later and no time to work out means that her abs are not as flat as they used to be. She's still in great shape, but not as flat as she used to be - Sadly that's not going to change until she has time to get back into her regular gym routine.

But no BS, 2 kids. Amazing what little nip and tuck can do. If there are any MDs on the board you know what I mean.

thanks!--they are Champion RG5s. I saw them on RayS car and liked them a lot. The photo is in that "take 100 photos, throw 95 of them" category. Turned out kind of nice just by chance.

PS to the OP[edit: oops, you ARE the OP] PDR is really amazing. I put a small dent in the fender just above the light. Drove me nuts because the reflection was distorted. PDR took care of it in about 30 minutes just perfect. They had these special lights they used to exaggerate the effect while working on it.

Ahh, now that makes more sense. No-one gets that kind of shape naturally without work to get there and work to keep it.

Hi again! Here is a link to the specs. It might default to the 997 tab, but just switch to the 996 Fitment tab. By the way, I went with 18" diameter. Regarding a photo, hmmm, might leave that to spouses or professionals!

LINK

I had a chance to look at a lot of wheels at Wheel Enhancements (near LAX). Lots of nice options out there. One benefit of Champions (that Ii did not realize until later) is that they have a lot of smooth surfaces and are surprisingly easy to clean.
