It had some sort of impact, possibly at the dealership after it was traded in by the previous owner. As part of the deal, they were supposed to take care of respraying it. Story goes that their body shop told them they'd want to respray the hood to help match, but they didn't want to pay for the hood. I said if they needed to paint the hood to match the bumper, then wouldn't the fenders need to be painted to match the hood (and so on and so forth)? In any case I just told them to give me a credit for the work (off the price of the car) and I took it to be done myself.

To me, it's just perfect for street and track. Make no mistake though, it's a compromise setup. But, for my needs (mostly street and 3-5 DE's a year), it is perfect.

I've had the X73 for about 500 miles and I love it. I'm 100% street so it was a plug and play set up for me, perfect ride height and Porsche engineered. It's a little rough but I came from a 993 with the M030 set up and it is definitely more compliant and has better dampening than the M030. YMMV
