I don't know.... It just looks weird. You've got a race body with blingy wheels.

I love the rear fenders and the massive lip on the rear wheels. The giant rear wing and the wheels not so much.

It just seems mismatched at this point. I think you need to pick a direction and go with it. Personally I would get rid of the RSR bumper and wing,and the wheels. Maybe go with a techart front end and wing combined with some black HRE or Cargraphic wheels.

It just doesn't seem like cover material yet.

How did you lock in magazine articles with all those publications without the car even being done yet?

Awful wheels. Anything by Maya belongs on a big bloated sedan. Switch them out for some racing ones!

Well, im not done yet. ALL of the plenum R and D from IPD was done here at my shop along with turbo mikes cars tuning as well. I build the 360 modena in the last european car magazine here and know rob and all the magazine guys from way back from building cars. Im new to porsche forums but not new Thats why im here. Im trying to get everyones apponions to build a correct car to represent the porsche platform. I really value your opinion, turbo mike speeks very highly of you. Im kinda honored you posted on this thread

Rob from dazz custom built these for this car. These are light weight version of lambo merc wheels with porsche centers and lighter materials and fasteners. I wanted a big lip for the attention and to truly show how wide the car was. With a flat face wheel it just doesnt project that. I just need to figure out how to make it all meld together with the rsr kit. I hate to break up the rsr body because it is all genuine other than the wing stands in the rear which gt3 was lasered out.

The pics are very hard to tell from though, im sorry thats all i have. i will host some more when i get back to the shop tommorow. I think i measure the car is 7'' wider total from back in the day when i first started the project. the rear holds 20x13'' and the front holds 20x11.5'' without any issues. The rear has mich ps2 335X25x20. to give an idea on how wide it really is

welcome to the RSR club. Mine was done originally 4 years ago. Parts used were factory Porsche since nothing else was available. Mine is Carbon Kevlar, and carbon fiber. Here is my interior it might give you a few ideas too.

Funny thing, last year Europena car editior said my car is too OVER THE TOP for eurpean car magazine. I also have a ton of motor, trans and suspension parts done to mine.

IMO the car looks great with RSR kit and the rear wing makes one kickass ride. The wheels are too bling for my taste.

That is halarious. Rob came over to shoot the ferrari in last months issue and said he has to shoot the porsche. Your car looks great. My interior is going to be alot different and everything is getting ripped out and done in armani leather and the center of the dash is going to be fiberglassed to house the engine monitoring system and it will be coded to a touchpanel im adding. I really cant get into the suspension mods to much right now, but im working with a japanese company on all that and should be pretty trick when its all done. I will have just about every bolt on part and some not you can throw. I love your car. the yellow REALLY pronounces the car. Very nice job. The headlights were a ***** werent they

I agree with some others, the wing is too big. I'm looking at the side-profile of the car and imagining it without the wing, and it looks nice! The big wheels don't match the huge racing wing (as others have said).

For the interior--I hope there won't be a bunch of Armani logos all over the place--tacky. It's like the rappers with the LV interiors, yuck. The touch screen monitoring system sounds sweet. Are you going to tech it out with wi-fi, bluetooth, video game, etc.?

Awesome project, good luck.

p.s. I'm a bit confused...what's with the C4S logo on the back?

The cs4 logo was on there when i bought the car. the armani leather is just the leather after its treated to make the jackets, no monograms rap star here. wifi yes, bluetooth yes, video game no. The monitoring station is just a touchscreen gauge array that datalogs etc .

I would have to agree on the wheels. I would also take the cup holder out. That's just not right. LOL
