Default Track day transformation

I spent 2 days at the track this weekend. As some of you know there is always some prep that is needed for these events. Brakes were bled with Motul. I painted my spare set of hollow spokes black and mounted Nitto NT-01s.

Last but not least my magnetic number plates and shark fins were applied.

Here are a few before and after pictures.... Let me know what ya think....

I like the look, especially the fins.

The shark fins pay homage to the old 930 - I like it!

Hey Phil, good to meet you the other day... Sunday was wet at the track so I had to dial it back a bit... Good day to learn some car control however.

Look up magnagrafik.com. Dan does quality work.

Are the shark fins functional in any way, or just for looks/paint protection?

You mean aside from the extra 10HP?

Don't forget it adds quite a bit of turbo lag as well...

Lol, no, I mean, is there an inlet I'm not seeing for rear brake cooling?

Magnagrafik. Be warned, this guy does some amazing decal and magnetic work. The martini racing vinyl is sooo nice.

No, just protection from airborne rubber and rocks...
