More than likely. Still considering lowering the car but do not want to bump the front end more than I already do. ECU upgrade for sure. Most likely Upsolute considering the HP gain vs. dollars spent. I do like the Techart pieces also, but then it might look like I am just copying you... Oh well, I can live with that so I may still go there. If I do, then I think lowering is a must.

Thank you for the complement. The house skin is actually still in process. It used to have a Drivit exterior prior to what you see now. Here in the Northwest, the Drivit does not stand up to the elements and a number of people have had serious dry rot as a result. There is a home two houses up from me that had dry rot all the way into the 2 x 6's. We decided to strip off the old and replace before the inevitable happened. We had one small area about 6 inches in diameter on the southern side that was just beginning to develop dry rot and was simple to fix at this point.

In choosing the new exterior, we wanted to blend the stone that was used on the retaining walls along with the brick from the chimneys. The architect did a good job of combining both materials to blend everything in.

Here is a pic of the old skin.

Holy jeebus - that makes a HUGE difference! Kudos to your architect/designer!

 

Holy seasonal changes too. Look at the tree and shrubs

I really like what the architect did, blending the bricks and stones together and have the stones fade upwards.
I like the darker paint color. I'm going with a darker paint on my house too. Makes the windows standout more.

I think most P cars and other highend car owners like architecture and designs of any sort in general.

 

Wheels look awesome! I'm not a big fan of the cabs but with these wheels, I was stunned! Fantastic!

Congrats.

Very nice house, who was ur architect? Im glad that us architects and p-car owners are on the same level when it comes to architecture?

 

Nice wheels and BEAUTIFUL HOUSE!

 

Very nice house! You should paint the windows though.
