Default Just added some Techart touches

After concentrating on the interior, I finally added some exterior touches. Let me know what you all think. I was thinking about changing back to the Carrera S wheels after having them painted basalt black with the lips machined finished. I think that may be the finishing exterior touch. Thoughts?

Looks great...love those triple black cabs! Wheels look nice also, but it would be nice to have more than one set to play with...in black of course.

Techart is my favorite aftermarket look, especially on the coupe. How are the body pieces attached? I understand that its expensive stuff. Nicely done on your cab.

Looks good,especially the sideskirts. Is that a K-40 Calibre laser defuser in the front?

Thanks guys. The pieces are attached with screws and glue. I am told you can get the glue off should you want to remove the pieces but it is time consuming work. Yes, I have the k-40 Claibre in front and rear. I really like the system. I have the older k-40 system on my other two vehicles and the calibre is definitely an upgrade. I also like the fact that I can mute sound altogether and go lights only at night.

Nice and I'd agree with others when they say it is tastefully done. If I had to nitpick anything I'd say I don't care for the side aero skirts as much as the other enhancements, but overall it is a very nice car. Great pics too!

Looks factory not aftermarket which is a good thing. Very classy and just flat out beautiful. Much more agressive look to the car yet not overdone.....just perfect!

My only negative comment would be regarding that little wing looking thing attached to the rear spoiler. Not liking that at all. Looks out of place and disrupts the lines of the car unlike the rest that blends in perfectly.
