Yeah, join us. It's always a blast. Generally, people get out of their cars and say "HOLY CRAP was that FUN!"

Would love to but wife has other plans. Next time.

More photos per request.




XPEL complete. Done by CFT Films (formerly KME) and all I can say is that you can't tell. Anywhere. No seams. Brilliant work and attention to detail by Kris and Mike.

3 piece 19s working





XPEL done

Default Rennline race hooks

Rennline race hooks tested, front requires no spacers. Reverse threaded, easy as pie. See first post for part numbers.








Thank you safety and rescue.

Looking good with the clear side markers and the 19's! My GTSilver is on a transporter and may find its way to me this week. Your pics are very uplifting as I will be trying on this special color for the first time and I've been a little nervous with so many rhodium pics in my head and so few GTSilvers.

Did you do a full Xpel wrap or just partial? This is a tough color to paint match and I'm on the fence.

I did the "track" wrap. Full hood, full front, intakes, side mirrors and a little on the rear wheel arches.

Aaaaand? I used BR to work on my track mini. I've been harassing them on advice about GT3s and the GT4. I guess you must be the customer that has the GT4.

Basically they confirmed everything that we have been talking about relative to the alignment. They are going to work with Ira and Manthey (sp?) to sort out a few things and come back with a total package that can sort out the alignment / suspension without having to replace the struts. More details will be presented when we have an actionable plan in place...hopefully next week.

We agreed that I'm going to burn up the stock brake pads rather than do a swap. Already made the full aero adjustments. I'm going to have them do a full brake fluid flush, install the brake caliper Tarret studs that I grabbed and maybe throw on some wheel studs. Oil change at 1000 miles, which should come up this week. That's about it in terms of changes until I can run the car hard for 5 or 6 events. Right now I think Im stuck waiting for Nov 20th (HOD @ Thunderhill) before I can get out and get some data together with the car.

I did get my data telemetry setup this week and need to McGyver the OBD2 port to prevent my toe from hitting the cable when plugged in along with sort out a mounting for the unit mid car...I'll have a full write up with pictures once I sort out those issues and get my mounting parts from Amazon.





Really need to sort this out. Probably going to remove the port harness and push the whole thing back behind the fuse box.

Why does attaching a photo ALWAYS fail with this forum?
