I know that I sanded mine down with 180 grit, primed it, sanded down with 320 grit, then wet sanded with 600 grit, then painted it. It is probably cheaper than you could have it painted here for.

And thanks guys for the compliments.

Wow, very nice. Always loved the Kinesis version of the wheel, and your pics show just how hot those wheels are.

Would love a set of 18's!

I am not a big fan of fixed spoilers, but I must say this is the best looking spoiler set-up I have seen yet! Very nice job!!!

Thanks again guys for the kind words. I will post another pic up next week that more clearly shows the rear diffuser on the rear bumper.

I loooove the wheels and the car. You did a great job.

Can't keep my mouth shut: the wing bothers me I see those appendages on too many lesser cars (GM and Ford) trying to make them look sporty and fast. There's no need for that on your Carrera! Whatever.

I am not sure what Champion model number they are. All that I do know is that I could only find them at Brandywine Porsche. I worked with the parts manager there.
