Keep at it pal you're so almost there. 8 weeks set back is well... yes. We've all had worse haven't we? The end result will make it all worth it!

Car's coming out of paint and body next week, then going back to Charles to finish up the LCA's, corner balance and alignment (shed some weight with all the Carbon Fiber goodness). Then to Metropolitan Detail for PPF and Graphics. Then finally back to me to finish tuning this bad boy to get on the track this year!

Finspeed 19" F14's with 275 MPSS for the street and BBS E88's with 275 hoosiers for the track!

The F14's should have some concavity for both front and rear to look just right...

I also found a Factory GT3R body kit that I will play with over the winter to see if I want to go down that road. Price was unbeatable!

Ha sounds like we will have the same setup for street wheels. I'm running 2012 oem cup front fenders and flares and full 2012 oem cup bumpers, deck lid, etc. need to get my build thread up

Very similar, mines a touch wider as it's 2012 Grand Am, with the fender crease smoothed to be pleasing to my eyes. Some guys like the tacked on flare look, I like a smooth blend. Now the GT3R, that's a different story... ha ha..

A little update post body/paint. Car starting to look like a car again. Notice the amount of room around the stock wheels at the front fender, will fill out nice with the 19x10" 275's going on there, may even be able to go a bit wider. Car headed for Graphics and PPF, then alignment/and install our Dundon/RK headers and muffler on it so I can get it tuned!

Looks mean. Would love to see some action shots of yours and Rangers on track together. Love the wide front end!

Ranger's a buddy, would be awesome to get both cars on track, same tires, and go to town! Unfortunately, he's in WPB and I'm in Seattle!

Haury's Lake City Collision, Jeff Butler and Zac Underwood did a great job in getting this all together!

Fin Speeds are at Charles' shop, after wrap, the wheels go on and suspension get's finished (as well as headers/muffler and assorted little bits). Should be end of next week.

What do you guys think, PORSCHE on the wing or no?
