Jumped in it to run up to the grocery store and the strangest thing happened.....I had to take a bunch of curvy back roads due to a detour and 55 miles later I finally managed to get to the parking lot.

I measured the thickness of my front brake disks and ended up with 27 to 27.2 mm. I used a calliper with two coins and went through the rim. However, I am fairly convinced, that the measurement was correct.

BTW, tha car has about 31k miles on it

Must have sold out! I think its a relatively new product and I can use it for both my 987 and the 997.2 wheels with are the metallic silver. Give Suncoast a call...

Still need to clean up the glass and reassemble. Took the gauge cluster apart to paint the bezel.

Put 7mm & 15mm wheel spacers on my '06 C4, also put Sylvania zXe high beams and fog lights to match the color of the bi-Xenon lights... looks awesome, perfect color match!

Installed Haksville Hodrods Gundo hack... sounds great, and the mandrel bent tubing and welding is perfect.

Also installed clear side marker lights with chrome bulbs, as well as chrome front and rear tuns signals (all light up yellow)... very happy

thinking about installing LED red brake lights (5w light like OEM specs, but when they come in, I will see if I get a warning light on the dash... will update


* Best mod as of far, a hot chick in the passenger seat... by far the best aesthetic improvement thus far! LoL

Will do, I'll do a picture heavy process.
From previous threads I've read it seems to be straight forward, but previous experience has taught me that it never is!
