gracias.
I dig the VS kit still, its old school, but i ahve a buddy who just bought an older Porsche slant nose, and thats kinda waht i wanted w this car.. at least for now..
Old mid to late 80s Gembella Porsche super chunky, tacky almost.
They jsut look cool on the FWY IMHO.
Im ordering up full do luck front, fenders, sides and an AMS GT rear bumper soon tho..probably some replica VS rear fenders so i can leave these ones pristine... might even go back to silverstone paint.
Dunno.
We will ahve to see what this summer holds for me once it comes back home tomorrow.

late night progress text pics from Han.. getting the wing mocked up before mounting. Will look much better once the Exh gets cleaned up and the tips go back on.. and the under bumper diffuser pieces are back on.. they will all match the shape of the wing pretty well.

^so i started doing my dress up stuff over the weekend.
Easy stuff first i guess lol.
This is a purple Titanium bolt kit from Chris at Dressupbolts.com.
These are jsut quick fire cell ph pics, but believe that the car will have a full high quality shoot soon enough.


threw on my ADD version bolts, will probably have Chris custom send me this size so IM all matching tho,, first thigns first.



the dead pedal was already out of the car.. why not quickly wrap it before reinstalling it? lol.
