no more shows for me. I just did it because I love the look of fiber glassed sub boxes and custom stereo. I actually built this car for me. I had always planned to do SEMA and CES show and thats it.

I agree. I have a set of 20x8.5 and 20x12.5 wheels in the making.

We will be running 245/30/20 and 345/25/20 in the rear.

Some sneak pics before SEMA.

3C will be doing a few small finishing touches before I pick up the car tommorrow. We will paint the base of the mirrors black and the mounting portion of the wing to the rear wing stands.

We still have to install the new 20" wheels, and some more interior goodies. Lots of work and so little time. Sema is around the corner in 2 weeks.

The problem is the techart street rear bumper hangs too low. If I lower the car anymore to close the wheel gap, the engine sits on the floor.

On misha car he can close the wheel gap and his stock rear 997 turbo bumper still has ground clearance.

I really did not want to put 20's on the car, but I can't stand the huge wheel gap in the rear.

Bruce,
I love your car in white now. I am glad you upgraded the headlights to the GEN 2 from the 996. Car is looking good.

Thanks Vince! James (status seats) is a good friend of mine and he keeps telling me the I-forged would make my car better maybe track/show wheels

Yeah, I see your wheel gap issue. Your car looks incredible by the way, but I do think the 20's will help. They are quite a bit taller than the 19's, not only in the rear, but also quite a bit in the front with a 245/35/20. Maybe you can fit a 345/25/20 in the rear to help the issue?

More pictures I took today with my point and shoot while waiting for the tow truck to take the car back to Auto Talent to load the Softronic program, install my FVD steering wheel, and install the new exhaust tips. Its so hard to capture the actual color of the car.

You can see that now the mirror base is gloss black, as well as the wing holder. I also had 3C spray a clear on the carbon parts to make them pop more in the light.
