Saturday - Visited Fabspeed to determine ways to part with more money. Found more ways than I thought they would have.

Sunday - Installed on the GT4:

DSC Sport to better control PASM and dynamic motor mounts on the track.

Fives minute install. Pull back some covers, remove one nut, loosen PASM controller, unplug two wiring connectors, put PASM controller away in a safe place, reverse the steps with the DSC.



Rennline Rear Subframe Stabilizer and tie-downs.

Ten minute install. Loosen four nuts, bolt tie-downs in in place, adjust stabilizer bar length to align with holes in the tie-downs, tighten two bolts into the tie-downs to hold the stabilizer in place - done



Tested briefly on some twisty roads. Seemed to be very good, but realistically, until it is on the track I will not know what these do for the car.

Thank you! I feel like the stripes really put everything together as I definitely wanted to add something to set me apart from other GR GT4's.

Thanks!
Base stripe is gold. The top stripe is gloss black.
I've seen matte/satin which I do not personally prefer.
I should have more pics tomorrow when I pick her up. I'm dying to see how the side stripes and new tint look and how everything comes together.

I wasn't going to let these freezing temps ruin my plans.
Here's a little teaser pic.




I picked up the car and drove to my next location.
Starting a little something for my GT4

I'm on the fence about Scud stripes on my GR, but damn does yours look good.

Would love to see how the back of the car turned out with the stripes. I also do like how the gold matches the crest.

Cool stripes. How much horsepower do they add?

I think if I did it on my white car, I'd do something similar to the GT3RS 4.0

Stripes on GR was a question for me.
But your design is awesome

Been toying around with various ideas for my GT4... at first I thinking subtile, like white "saltzburg" flames on white car...



Which got me to thinking:
Martini Stripes











or for something completely different...





Notice a LeMans trend here? Is it June yet?
