New Techart/GP7 mods

I finally got around to painting some matching centercaps for my graphite GP7 wheels, mounted them up with MPSC's and also got "eBay special" Techart F&R spoilers mounted. The GP7's are a perfect fit, and with the MPSC's they are as light as my 18" track wheels with Hoosiers. The Techart pieces are factory quality PUR (urethane) with perfect fitment, and lightweight. These were quick snaps taken at a Lamborghini event yesterday. No good wheel shots unfortunately.

Wow, dude...that looks really good! Have you had any issues with the front end scraping driveways? I know you had already lowered your car with those Techart springs but with the new front lip, it's probably even lower than before.\

Can you also elaborate a bit about what you mean by "ebay special."

Well done! The TA pices bring out a more aggresive but not over the top edge to your car.

The Techart front spoiler projects further outward but does not seem to come downward any lower than the stock piece. I actually think I have more clearance than with the stock piece + splitters extended. Of course with this setup there is no protection

Hey eclou, it's looking really nice.

Graphite GP7's ??? Did you buy a new set or have your silver ones painted?

They are a second set. My silver ones are 19x8 and 19x11. These are 19x8.5 and 19x11.5. The graphite is growing on me but I think I like the silver more.

Looks really good man. Hard to believe a TA pieces were 'perfect fitment'....they are nice, but usually come in with a bit of work involved. Nice job.

Eric,

they have tabs that press into the front and rear bumpers just like stock. On the rear the IC outlet only needs a small piece of the stock valance trimmed. I picked up the pieces F&R off eBay for $500 used - they had some scrapes and gouges but my paint shop refinished them easily in a couple of hours

Yes, I think those graphites would look much better on a Meteor Turbo!
