Default Pics of my Turbo.
Hey Guys,


here are some pics of my car.
2007. basalt black with 2 tone terracotta.
factory options are
PCCB, Sport Chrono, adaptive seats. Rear parking sensors. Suspension is GMG springs and sway bars. Exhaust is FVD.
wheels are Champion MS 61 forged magnesium wheels on toyo R888. the wheels are painted dark bronze metallic with satin finish. (pics dont do it justice. it changes hue depending on the angle of light.
my DD gt3rs wheels are being repainted (2 tone gt2 style). windows are tinted 35% and winshield is 50%.

Looks great man, bronze on black is a good look for a sports car

What are your impressions of the gmg setup for handling and ride? Especially control over bumpy pavement?

^give me a couple of weeks to answer you.
my DD wheels arent done from the paint shop yet, toyo r888's are an r comp tire. super stiff sidewall, so i can't say yet.

my DD wheels are on michelin pilot super sports in factory sizes. i'll report when i put those on,

Is that windshield tint legal in NYS?
Looks cool, but I'm partial to basalt/terracota!
