Just a heads up Scott... Unless you or the other guy redid the clearbra, only the front clip, hood, and fenders are covered.

Mooty is a bad influence. My e-mail box is overflowing with his "pushing".

right.... i recall you have 3 sets or was it 4 sets of wheel for ONE car?
most GT3's are 4 wheelers. do not confuse it with your next dualie.

No way. I'm stocking up now before the little one arrives in a couple months. I was even lucky enough to slide in an extra event a couple weeks before the due date. I love the wife!

I had the lights done before I took delivery. Nowhere else on the body really gets much of the rubber, except for the rocker panels, but I clean those after each event with the Porter Cable.

Ha, that would be nice. Maybe in 2011, with the continued helpful tips from Dell. I still have a long way to go before I start messing with much more.

.... sill and porter cable.

.
little one as in model GT3 or little babies?
if babies, you need more track days. you should get a trailer, pack in a large blow up pool (almost said blow up doll.... ..) and take the kids along. wife is good for BBQ. i did that 2x. seems to work well.

recaro seats makes great baby seats.
but before they get to that age, you just strap them to the wing, see instruction attached.

did you get the rubber mark on the UNDERSIDE of the sill? put it on jack stands, get under the car face up and you will see all the marks, now buff that too. and use a lot of 3m adhesive remover on the jack pads, they are rubber magnates too.

inside wheel well gets blasted with rubber. but they dont have much paint there, just primer, so you are spared from waxing there.

lol, awesome. I like that seat, will ping you offline about it.

Yeah, 1st born at the end of Sept. No truck and trailer for a while though.... Yeah, I put it up on stands and PC the underside of the rocker panels to get the rubber marks off. After almost every event, same thing, and I pull the wheels and clean the wheel wells, usually the day I get back home.

I have a feeling I will have similar pictures in a few months

Alright, I'll finish that sentence.

4 sets is about right. That's what I had. E88 with slicks , Fikse with backup set of slicks, silver OEM for the street, black OEM with hoosier wets.

WTF was I thinking???
