think initial thought from the video is that it constantly cycles through the color spectrum. without user control

we are going to add about two inches on each rear flare.. its been decided.
the rear flare to bumper piece will be redesigned as well.
Probably add a large upsweeping dive plan in front of the front and rear wheels as well, similar to the RWB 911 kits.

rear wheel will be 19x14 at -56.

David Lee , owner of Stance USA is personally building the valving and spring rates for the car using Swift springs for a very aggressive and track oriented suspension travel situation.. ultimately Id like to be able to adjust high and low speed on the shock bodies.. we will see what pricing comes back as.

Wow.... and I was thinking this was just gonna be a color and hood change. Trying to imagine what this is going to look like even wider. Phenominal work. Can't wait to see more progress pics.

ill be adding 50mm spacers to what I have now over the weekend to see if its going to be the right fit and shape.. I wont make it ridiculous or silly, but if a touch wider needs to happen, then we will do just that.
-60 has a better ring to it anyways lol

350z road big thing is going to be like 8 1/2 feet wide in the back, same as a tractor trailor...

Looks super mean without the bumper with that splitter still on.

decided to go about 22mm more each side than this dark dimly lit picture.. I ordered wheels in 19x14 -70

As long as it will still fit the Tomei exhaust, I will likely run the open mercury style back end to make the swap to larger wheels much more easy for now. Damn close to what I already have tbh.

Ordered one style wheel for each side as well. the Targa and the Ascari.
flat lip, concave w legs and exposed titanium hardware.. all matte clear finish peek a blue.. over polished faces and over brushed lips. back barrel is brushed gunmetal gloss.

Hers a 911 w the Ascari in the blue, but this is the gloss version.
