I appreciate the individual things you've done to the car - but overall it doesn't really "flow" IMO.


The cup bumper is at odds with the "sporty - use car for all things" nature you've got with the clunky roof rack.

The wheels are interesting, but too visually heavy (in color and style) to ever be track/driving focused. More "stance-y", despite the michelin cups.

Pairing of half cage and base seats is also a mismatch.

Good thing it’s my car and it flows exactly like I want it to I guess lol.

Everything you mentioned is subjective and may make perfect sense based on your experience and opinions, which you are certainly 100% entitled to.

By the same token I am 100% entitled to not care about your opinion.

I modified the car exactly like I wanted to and I absolutely love it.

A few photos from the starting grid of one of the Express Rally events last month.

A few rollers from the rally a few weeks ago. Our marquee event, the Southern Express rally, is taking place in a few weeks and I can't wait to pilot the 911 on some incredible roads over 4 days!

I scheduled a shoot with another one of the rally photographers for my IS 500 and we had some extra time so he managed to get some nice rollers and a few static shots of the 911.

Did you notice any aerodynamic or handling effects from the ducktail + GT3 front-bumper combo on the track? And what speeds do you reach at the track?

Awesome build! How is the Getty front bumper holding up? Having had good luck with their ducktail, I was debating their front bumper but was concerned a fiberglass piece on such a vulnerable spot would crack easily. Did your shop comment on how much work wa s needed to get it to fit?
thx
