I havnt but the previous owner of my car did, the wheel rubbed the inside of the fender light of which I’ve replaced and also rubbed the fender liner at full tilt. Not something I’d cared about until I replaced one of my RS fender liners for $435.89.

Yes - without rubbing and liner mods. But there are almost no high performance options available in this size.

Thanks I think I will stick to stock sizing. I run a bit wider track width and lower so id rather not real with rubbing issues.

I got ahold of some delivery pics of my car. Date unknown sadly (EDIT: Warranty start was March 2010 so presumably pictures are from around then) but cool to see it in all the protective wrap still!

That's amazing @GM.RS and I sure wish we could all have photos like that of our own cars!

Super cool! Wish I had pictures of my car still in the delivery wrapping. All I’ve got of my car is a couple low resolution photos when new in dealers inventory with 24 miles listed $10k below MSRP.

Could you imagine if a car like this showed up on BAT?

There are probably a few out there that have delivery mileage with most of the original wrapping, stickers, and tags still on it. Always those type of collections around. The most common cars I see being kept in this state by far are 05-06 Ford GT’s. Check out this delivery mileage McLaren F1 with still all the original interior wrapping still in after 20 years.

Seems kinda painful to own a collection like this and never having driven pretty much all of them after owning them for years

For those of you that are fans of the reverse pumpkin 997.1 RS someone did a 992 RS in the same color scheme.
