Nice car! Like the pure black and red. Black wheels on red cars is a really good combo.

Still- more pictures is a must, interior and different angles

Default More Pics!

I'm still working on the underside of the engine lid, adding another air opening on the right side for the fabspeed intake. When that is done more pics!

Thanks, Spicey

Some more shots in my Garage, raining today...

Oh I had bought a Maxton Front Spoiler but due to my driveway and the car already being lowered I opted to not install it (for sale). I took off my OEM rubber strip in front and installed a Rhino Lip, that actually looks pretty good and held on with fasteners not the el cheapo kind with tape.

Thanks, Spicey

Thanks everyone, Yes I remember your car too Metric!

Took me 40 years to finally own one of these cars, kind of like Lays Potato Chips you can't just have one! Love to drive it...

I like the black hood. I have a silver Carrera and wanting my hood to be black. Thinking about have the carbon fiber wrap don't for the hood.

Super nice! My 2 cents... throw a front lip or a gt3/aero front end. Still wish I had a red 911
