Default New Wheels. New Photos. New York City.

Got rid of the whole red theme, and made some changes to the car. The front bumper is now OEM GT3 with an OEM Cup lip. I replaced the red wheels with Champion Motorsport RS-98 wheels. So far i think i like the change.

A friend of mine is a photographer and we stopped by this spot for a few pics.

Some may or may not like the car, but at least there's a nice view of NYC.

Thanks! I loved the red also. But it was a little too loud for some. Not everyone was a fan. The car is actually for sale now and i think this look is more universal and would appeal more to potential buyers.

With two sets of wheels you can switch up the look, that's my plan

Thank you!

The car is a 2005 C2, OEM GT3 Front and Rear bumpers, Champion Wheels on H&R springs, Dectane tails... umm too many things to list here. I'll just post a for sale thread when i stop being lazy and take interior pics. Price will be $39k including all the stock parts. I have every part to make the car back to factory.

Default don't do it

I had a c2 05 modded to my liking and still regret selling it to this day.... power is very linear and some say smoother delivery then a c2s. Plenty of power even at 325hp. Great job with the mods.... Keep it!

My seal grey c2....

Wow. That car was executed perfectly. Very well done. That turbo wing give it the perfect touch for that look.

Looks great...but what's the idea of the ducktail with the wing? Just curious. Love the look though.

You have a done a lot to your car and looks amazing... if you don't have to sell, then keep it as trying to replicate a car that nice in the upper 30K range will be very hard if not impossible to do.....

I think I was the OG do a 997TT rear deck lid (fully operational with hydraulic wing blade raise at speed etc) on a none turbo car. The wing with the front lip came together well. Yet to see another Hamman front chin spoiler.
