Default Rear-end upgrade

Wow what a difference. Great wheels, great color. Normally I prefer the clear rear flank guards but the black against the gray looks excellent!

In Yosemite, I scored an end-cap spot at the Ahwanee (or majestic as the call it now)

Spent two nights there, no bears attacked the car ;-)

Got new shoes a couple weeks back, and today, received and installed a custom leather wrapped steering wheel.

Thanks!! Yeah, it's really grown on me and changed the character of the car as far as looks are concerned. It was a nice update and I have a new reason to stare at my car even more now

Yeah, it worked out cheaper to go through him than some of the competition. Quality is top notch and you can customize to your hearts content.

Thanks, the specs are: 19" x 8.5" +45 (21 lbs) front and 19" x 11" +32 (24 lbs) rear.
You can customize the offset too, depending on how aggressive you want to be.

That steering wheel looks amazing. Did you have to send in your wheel (how long?) or was it a core-exchange type thing?

Just picked this up and drove it ~ 6hrs home! Need to clean it up and take some nice pics, but here are a few quick ones from the drive.

2006 Carrera S, Lapis blue on natural brown
Nicely optioned with painted and leather goodies inside (steering column, door sills, and fuse box cover)

Came with the painted aftermarket wheels, but I'm looking for a set of Carrera Sports or Classics to put on instead.

There are two options I'm aware of.

Option 1: You can send in your wheel and depending on your shipping speed, it might be 1-2 weeks to Latvia, then 3-5 days turnaround, and about 1 week to ship back to you. The disadvantage is downtime.
Option 2: Buy a core from him and get him to wrap it. If he has your core in stock, it's around 3-5 days turnaround and around 1 week to ship to you.

I went with Option 2 as I didn't want to deal with downtime, and as it turned out, it was quite pricey to ship my core to him. So the plan was to just sell my old core locally once I had swapped it out to recoup some of the cost.

Rengoku, are the thumb rests leather covered? Or black paint? Or?

These look good. Mine are silver, not as good.
