Default New Techart/GP7 mods

I finally got around to painting some matching centercaps for my graphite GP7 wheels, mounted them up with MPSC's and also got "eBay special" Techart F&R spoilers mounted. The GP7's are a perfect fit, and with the MPSC's they are as light as my 18" track wheels with Hoosiers. The Techart pieces are factory quality PUR (urethane) with perfect fitment, and lightweight. These were quick snaps taken at a Lamborghini event yesterday. No good wheel shots unfortunately.

Your car looks great! How did you like the new shoes on the track?

The 19" N-spec MPSC's are barely better than the PS2's. I would not bother shelling out $1600/set for these to run on the track. They are really more of an ultimate summer tire, and don't even come close to a Toyo or Kuhmo R compound let alone a Hoosier.

Anthony,

so far I am actually clearing more stuff than before. I have yet to scrape on some of the ramps I used to scrape on. The Techart lip's lowest point is further back than stock, and the projection of the front is higher than stock

The front & rear spoilers look great! Have you consodered the TechArt side skirts? They would look awesome on your car! This pic is not a Turbo, but you get the idea.

thanks guys. It adds just a smidge of flair to the car. I don't think I will change any more of the aesthetics

The color code is a Porsche color from 04-05. I think it is available other years too. I believe it is a Cayenne color? I will check again next week

thanks Eugene. i don't believe it's a cayenne color; at least not one listed in their '05-06 brochure.

Eugene,

Looks fantastic. Did I miss a lambo event at MSRH? I guess I didn't make the short list!

Let's plan a Houston area drive soon!

Lambo of Houston had one and it was very well run. Still not a fan of MSRH though - not enough room to stretch the legs out on these cars
