You wouldn't make it two blocks with rap-star-tint that dark here in L.A. The cops get nervous when they can't see in, especially the windshield!
Love the wheels, though.

i cant wear contacts and i cant stand having to keep glasses and Rx sunglasses on me so the car provides sunglasses for me.. and is not meant to be 'rap-star-tint' , cops here in florida really dont care and pretty much have the same on their cars... LOL most of the cops have the same especially on the UC cars.... Cali is way too strict on everything... all the emissions stuff too.. would suck :-/ doubt they would put up with the radar/laser detectors/jammers as well... no CA for me!

with the top down, the front tint isnt even noticeable looking at the car, but very noticeable from inside the car.. especially driving into the setting sun

Rily, congrats! You need to mod up the Volk center caps with a Porsche emblem.

Did Vortex take good care of you?

Great pics by the way. I use to keep my boat at Home Port year ago. I miss boating up that way. When all this rain stops we need to get together for dinner and some pics.

So when are you going to do a track day with me. Chin Motorsports...sign up I will help you out!

center caps are on order and still a month out... the color isnt standard and the caps they had some problems with so remaking 'flat" caps now..

Vortex was AWESOME.... beyond awesome... wish i had more stuff to put on as service was great, pricing was great, everything real good...

track day.. idk.. i love driving spirited but i only push it about 50/60%... anything over like 75% i feel uneasy so idk about pushing it ***** to the wall...

home port is about 3 minutes from me so least you know where im at now... far from you!... call me whenever... i pretty much am doing nothing everyday now since everything is slow.

as a beginner at the track you will not be pushing it like you think. Your 1st time there you will have a blast...all my students do...and you will maybe see about 50-60% of what the car is capable of. On the other hand you will leave a much better driver and have a great sense of your newl gained skills and you will feel more comfortable with the car.

see ya soon! mike

It's a great look in an industrial setting. We just don't have those around here!
