I am going to sell my Techart wheels very soon so I cleaned up the spare set, did a little cosmetic work to them and threw them on. I think they look better than I expected. Now I need to get some crest stickers for the center caps.

They custom make everything. Took about two months to get it

Unhappy

3 years later still chasing a knocking noise, over small bumps, from the front left suspension. Sway bar links, bearing, upper mount, shock, lower control arm all done. Last week it pulled the strut assembly and tightened the top nut with an impact gun. Noise still there.

Swapped the broken front diff out to one that works. Also installed some TrackMatts in black.

Thanks! She gets a lot of compliments on the color. I really like it because it is unique, but honestly if I were to drop the cash for a PTS that the original owner did I would have gone for a sportier color.

Popped my Ohlins down to 9F/12R and went for a drive. Magnificent.

I replaced my cracked front lip earlier this week. Then today I put hardware mesh to protect the radiators.


Before with cracked lip.

After with e-bay aero lip


Hardware mesh from Lowes ($8)

Final product

Silly question - how did you secure the mesh? Zip ties?

I have this, as well. Car is otherwise well sorted.

Yup. I used zip ties. But I bought hardware cloth and cut it up myself. If you buy products specifically meant for this application from other sources, I'm sure it'll have different ways to secure it.
