New picture gallery

Lets see if I've figured this out. I uploaded some pictures of my two P-cars taken a couple of months ago. Both cars have undergone extensive mods since then which I will take pictures of and add to the album and detail.

I'm having a good time with them. The BMW and Mercedes are getting some stuff done too. I'll add them later also.

Yes, they are replicas. I have no idea where they came from. When I got the car my employees begged me not to get yet another variation of the LM which is so popular. I told them to get me what they approved of. These are 8.5x19 and 11x19.

Since those pics were taken 6-8 weeks ago the 993 got a new Bilstein/H&R suspension, it was completely repainted, a new Kenwood/Alpine system was installed and the interior was completely replaced with new leather and carpet. The brakes were removed, stripped and repowder coated red and stainless lines were installed. Plus a handful of other items.

I need to take some pics of all of that and post them. The TT is still in progress. More on it later.

I have HREs and Michelins on order from Wheel Enhancement. Its only been a week. Sigh. I will really start to get the itch this weekend when I go to the open house at HRE on Saturday.

Note to HRE: Surprise me guys! My warehouse is only a mile away from yours. I will bring you goodies if you make it happen on Saturday!!! LOL

Its ok. I know when I'm being unreasonable.

I won't start driving over and asking "Are they done yet? Are they done yet?" until after the 4th of July.

I love your 996tt cab by the way...just got one myself. Is there a reason you stayed away from tinting the rear window? I'm wondering if there's some reason I shouldn't tint. Pls advise.

Thanks, RJ

Its tinted. Just not dark. I like to watch for cops at dusk. Sneaky boogers keep trying to creep up on me.
